vious to the meeting Mr, McDon-

What State Employees Should Know

By THEODORE BECKER
Commission's Power Seen Limited

By Law in Removal Cases

‘The Limitation on the power of
the State Civil Service Commis-
to reinstate an employee re-
Moved on charges is highlighted
contrast with the power of the
mimissioner of Education to do
go. The exercise of this power by
the Commissioner of Education is
Hlustrated by a case involving an
Appeal of a swimming Instructor
Gismissed by the New York City
Board of Education after a hear-
ing on charges of incompetent and
OS aaaal service and neglect of
y

Facts in the Case

Tt appears that the employee
involved had a swimming class
consisting of seven boys, one of
Whom was found dead in the
school swimming pool three hours
after the close of the swimming
Period. There was no evidence

duced at the hearing to estab-
lish whether the boy was drowned
during the swimming class period
or returned at a later hour to the
Pool and then lost his life. It was
Significant that the Board of Edu-
Cation did not charge the instrue-
tor with responsibility for the
drowning.

The matter ultimately came to
the State Commission of Educi
tion an appeal from the dismis:

On the record in the case,
Commissioner of Education de-
cided that while there was suffi-
cient evidence to support some of

the findings of the City Board of |

Education, the other findings
made by the Board were either
mot established by the evidence to
the Commissioner's satisfaction or
were insufficient, though proven,
#o constitute a valid basis for the
charges,

The mimissioner noted also
that during the instructor's 18
rears of service in the school sys-
em his record had been without
reproach. He also remarked that
the instructor had, as a result of
time lapse between dismissal and
@ppeal, been without his job for
three rs. This the Commis-
Sioner felt, in view of all the facts
fn the case, was a sufficient penal-

ty. Accordingly, he ordered the

Limitation Imposed on Relief

The law then describes the na-
ture of the relief that the Com-
mission may grant, as follows:

“The determination appealed
from may be affirmed or modified
and the civil’ service commission
may, in its discretion, permit .the
transfer of such officer or em-
ployee to a vacancy in a similar
position in and the division or
department or direct that his
name be placed upon a preferred
list," It should be noted that while
the Commission is empowered to
affirm or modify the determina-
tion of the appointing officer It is
not granted authority to reverse
such determination. Accordingly,
the law makes no provision for
ordering the reinstatement of an
ousted employee, even where the
hearing on appeal clearly estib-
lishes that he is entirely innocent
of the charges upon which his re-
moval was based,

Furthermore once the officer or
employee has chosen to appeal to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion rather than to the courts, he
is barred from appealing to the
courts, The statute specifically
provides that the decision of
the Civil Service Commission or
of the person or persons desig-

shall be final and conclusive and
not subject to any further review

Dewey for the fiscal year begin-
ning April 1, 1946. The Associa-
tion submitted a general request
for salary adjustment following
the annual meeting on October
16 and will confer with the Bud-
get Director and with the Gover-
nor at an early date,

The Christmas note was struck
in this passage;

“Had you noticed State em-
ployees in search of Christmas
gifts they could afford? If so,
you saw sorely disappointed and
foot sore would-be Santas. Prices
were so high and quality so low
that they just couldn't find the
money for any worthwhile re-
membrances for the season of
peace and good will on earth.

“If prices could be brought
down to pre-war levels, State em-
ployees would be content with
their money wages. As this is
impossible, they ask sufficient
money to purchase the goods
their pre-war salaries formerly
bought.”

Dr. Tolman Gives Program

Following is the 6-point pro-
gram as given by Dr. Tolman:

“1. The Association will ask the
Governor and the Legislature (1)
to include in the baste wage scales
the temporary 10 to 20 per cent
war emergency increases, and (2)
to provide in addition thereto a
new emergency plan which will
increase State wagés in an
amount sufficient to at least
maintain pre-war purchasing
power, (3) to establish flexible
continuing adjustments to provide
insurance against future inflation,

"2, State employees suffer as
seriously as any white collar
group from high wartime prices
and resulting low real wages.
Basic salary scales for State em~-
ployees reflect 1930-1940 wage
scales, These State pay scales
were admittedly lower in part be-

cause State workers were not then!

Inflation

required to pay Federal income)
taxes. Federal taxes, of course,
operated to reduce expendable
State salaries by 10 to 20 per
cent, Since 1940, a 33 per cent
increase in cost of living together
with the Federal tax, have re-
duced the real income of the
State worker beyond that of
nearly any other group.

Cost of Living Rise

“$3. The 10 and 7% per cent
emergency additions to State
wages below $2,000 and $4,000
respectively in 1943-44 and 1944-|
45 proved wholly inadequate and
State workers were forced to
lower family expenditure for
necessities of life or to resort to
debt.

“4. In January, 1945, the cost
of living had risen over 27 per
cent for most articles and 37 per
cent for food. The State then
increased the emergency pay
scales for the current 1945-46
fiscal year by 20 per cent for
workers receiving less than $1,500
and by lesser scales to a minimum
of 10 per cent on salaries of
$4,000 or over. This furnished
helpful but obviously only partial
relief in view of the continued
rise in the cost of living,

“5. The Association's Salary
Committee, composed of research
experts in a number of economic
fields, finds that the present 10
to 20 per cent temporary increase
for State employees over salaries
Paid in 1940, compares unfavor-
ably with a straight time hourly
wage increase in industry of
about 45 per cent, and further
that State salaries are now ap-
proximately 13 to 23 per cent
below the current level of living
costs and 28 to 38 per cent below
the prospective costs which loom
as probable through increased
rents and prices for food, furni-

ture and manufactured goods.
“6. The Association accepts the

economic implications {in the
national economy which makes
deflation desirable but impossible
in the face of a national debt of
over 250 billion dollars. It urges
that the establishment for work-
ers generally of real-wage in-
comes which will result in eco-
nomic stability and prosperity
and will encourage national unity
and substantial progress along all
lines of human endeavor,”
Unanimous Support

Dr, Tolman stated that the
results of the thorough wage
study which has been made
available to the Executive Com-
mittee of the Association has
brought unanimous support of the
Salary Committee's recommend
tions for a continuous campaign
to inform the Governor and the
Legislature and citizens generally
of the sore plight of State
workers.

“The experts of the Committee
have only discovered what the ex-
perts of the kitchens, the nur-
series, and those who care for
families generally have discovered
the hard way throughout the past
five years,” said Dr, Tolman.

“Someone has pointed out that
the white collar worker will soon
be left without even a white col-
lar, perhaps without a shirt.
Artisans in industry, whether
they make shirts, shorts or short-
enings, have had their incomes
increased from 45 to 65 per cent.
Such increases are needed by all
workers,

“The State as an employer has
the responsibility of adjusting
State employee income to meet
family and community needs.
State employees will respond
fully to the efforts of the Asso-
ciation to make known the facts
to all of the people who, we feel
sure, will wish to see their State
take its rightful place in the
Nation as a fair and far seeing
employer,”

Special to The LEADER

ALBANY, Dec. 26—Employees
of the State Police who work on
narcotics control in the State
Health Department and carry 6-
shooters, feel that they should be
entitled to the extra 10 per cent
differential for extra hazardous
or or arduous duties, These em-
ployees point out that their work
brings them in contact with the
drug-crazed element, and that if
institution employees working in
disturbed wards receive the extra
pay, they should too,

Authorization for such pay-
ments by the Budget Director was
made in an amendment to the

the Division had approved a unl-

25-YEAR RETIREMENT PLAN
IN CORRECTION IS HELD

TO BE A REAL, HUMAN NEED

Sheol to The LEADER

A measure patterned on the 25-

year plan now in effect for State |
troopers, prepared by John T.
DeGraff, Counsel to The Associa- |
tion of State Civil Service Em-
Ployees, was presented to the |
Committee members for cansid-
eration and change as they might
elect.
Suggestions to add to the ten-
tative bill provisions to permit
present uniformed personnel who |
had service in other departments
of state government to pay for
such and secure time credit on
the total of 25 years, and to in-
clude service performed during
the Inst war as in the case of the
present troopers plan, were ap-
proved.

Statement by Paterno

William Paterno, Chairman of |
the Committee, issued a statement |
indicating the many reasons which
he felt justifies a 25 year retire-
ment plan for uniformed prison
personnel, said Mr. Paterno:

“The prison officer in seeking to |
retire after 25 years of service
does not choose to compare him-
self with others who have this
privilege but {s endeavoring to ob-
tain this plan on the basis of its
merits.

“Most people chill at the mere
mention of the word prison, The
percentage of people who know
the workings of a prison or the
task of the prison officer is very
small

“The prison officer works 8
hours per day with people who|
are conceded to be abnormal. He
is therefore working under ab-
normal conditions. Anything con-
sidered abnormal ts regarded as a
hazard and the prison officer,
thevefore, is laboring under haz-
ardous conditions, He 1s subject
to call 24 hours per day. He is
subject to call for fog duty, riots.
and escapes for which he receives
no extra compensation

MINIMUM PENSIONS

Since the commencement of the
New York State Employees’ Re-
tirement System in 1921, certain |
social concepts have developed |
which require consideration: |

(a) The Social Security Act has
been adopted A characteristic of
this Act is that pensions are not
| in exact proportion to the salaries |
earned or contributions made and
lower-paid wage earners receive
proportionately more than higher
paid employees, This is on the
theory that the retirement allow-
ance produced should be at least
the minimum amount necessary
for subsistence. There is much to
be said for this approach when it

to find itself im this position.
Meanwhile, department heads
and institutions) officials of the |
State continue to maintain wide |
individual differences in the}
Jength of the work-week affecting |
| certain categories of employees,
and protests are sure to be heard,

THE MOVING SPIRIT

Tue season of man’s greatest kindness is upon us,

Let that spirit permeate all our works, all the year.
Let honesty guide our motives, good-will our actions.

To the men and women who have quietly and effi-
ena during the war years performed the public’s
work...

To the officers of the Government who have labored,
with the people’s needs in mind, to make better communi-
ties, a better nation and a better world;

To the individuals who have struggled to improve
the lot of public servants... .

To all these and to those they love — Greetings.

May the spirit of Christmas reside in them... May
the coming year lead to fruition of their hopes,

MINIMUM PENSION PLAN
OF STATE ASSN. SHOULD PASS

of the bulwarks of the pension liberalization pro-

gram of the Association of State Civil Service
Employees is the minimum pension project. This, briefly,
provides relatively higher pensions for those in the lower-
income brackets. They would be able to retire sooner,
if they so desired, and besides at an income permitting
more than a mere subsistence.

Tf the final salary was $1,200, the retirement allow-
ance, which is the total benefit, would almost equal the
annual salary. That is just as it should be. What tends
to detract from the more salutary provisions of any pen-
sion system is that the low-paid employee never arrives
at that point where he can afford to retire. He will not
willingly halve his small income.

The plan is not to be at the expense of those who
receive higher pay, but the retirement allowance is to
relate inversely to the salary. Nor is extra cost imposed
solely on the State or civil division. There would be extra
employee contributions to help take up the difference.
That is a fair plan, because the retirement allowance is
composed of the annuity, which the employee contri-
butions purchases, and the pension, to which the Govern-
ment unit makes budgetary contribution. The government
always puts up a bit more than the employee, so the

ublie contribution will exceed the employee contri-
ution.

It is a fair, square and just program and should
succeed in the coming session of the State Legislature,
especially as even the publie contribution represents only
an amount modest for the systems that are not burdened
with inherited deficits.

Responsibility That Sticks

The declaration by Mayor LaGuardia that he will
not be responsible for the shortage of nurses in hospitals

by
Inc.

operated by NYC, because the Federal government at- |

tracts nurses by offering them higher pay, may be a good
way to demonstrate pique, but it’s a poor way to fulfill
responsibility. A Mayor can not shed his responsibilities
like a cloak. Neither can fair salaries paid to nurses by
the Federal government be used as an argument against
the NYC government continuing to offer less than a fair
wage, The resolution now before the Board of Estimate
to raise the entrance salaries of nurses is proof that even
a city government must meet competition. «

JOSEPH A. BOYLAN

“BE ACTIVE,”
Boylan’s motto.

Activity, he finds, enables you
to be useful and helps you to get
along in the world.

He himself has gotten along
more than tolerably well. Starting
in 1911 as a Stenographer in the
NYC Department of Docks, he's
now Administrative Assistant to
the Commissioner, and his friends
even boosted him for Commis-
sioner of Marine and Aviation,

All activity, to be of value, must
be in behalf of a definite goal, he
believes. He has attained so many
goals that his resume won't fit
on one sheet of standard-sized
paper, even with single-spaced
typing.

He's been a leader in employee
activities, is chairman of the
Department’s Personnel Board,
and has been toastmaster at every
dinner held by the department's
employees,

He was Exalted Ruler of the
Staten Island Lodge of Elks,
organizer and first Grand Knight
of Manresa Council, Knights of
Columbus,

He's the hardy perennial rep-
resentative of the department at
ail gatherings of waterfront in-
terests,

Recommended for Honors

He’s been recommended to the
Secretary of the Navy by the
Naval District Commandant for a
Letter of Commendation, with
authority to wear the ribbon, for
his work as Matson officer, In
1940 he was commissioned a@
Lieutenant Commander in the
Naval Reserve, for which he has
already received other official
commendations. In World War I
he was in the Navy.

Wherever there's any promise of
action, Mr. Boylan is likely to be
around.

At school he was an all-round
athlete, He says that keeping
physically fit is one of the most
important considerations in life,
and more people should do more
about it, At 54 he is robust and
energetic, looks 10 years younger,

A few years af, when
Mayor was experimenting w! e
iden of attracting the brightest
students into city service, three
honor students were assigned to
Mr. Boylan. They got what was
then a Private’s pay, $50 a month,
All three were unanimous on pre~
ferring some other calling. One
preferred medicine, another law,
the Uhird aviation.

“Tt would probably work out
better," remarked Mr, . Boylan
today, “it the sons and daughters
of city employees were specially
encouraged to enter city service,
In that way, also, a family tradi-
tion of service in the public em-
ploy would be built up, It isn’t
necessary to have topranking

gained their honors in the class-

HOW VETERANS GET A BREAK
IN SEEKING PUBLIC JOBS

OPPORTUNITIES FOR JOBS in the civil service are bést for
disabled veterans and far better for non-disabled veterans than for
non-veterans. In other words, veterans do get a break. They must
be honorably discharged _vetorans, and for the Federal civilian service
that's about the only requirement for preference. For jobs in the

+ tate Governmemt, and its civil divisions, such as cities, towns

Psd iad besides honorable discharge there are residential require=

The basic advantage given to veterans seeking civil setvice jobs
is known as preference. In the Federal service it is governed by @
law of Congress; in the State service, and in the civil divisions, it
is governed by the State Constitution, an amendment to which was
ratified at the polls on Nov. 6, 1945. =

ASSISTANCE BESIDES PREFERENCE

Besides the advantage that is known as preference, to distinguish
it from other job aids to veterans, there are Federal and State laws
and regulations that heighten the assistance to veterans in getting
and keeping a job. ,

Preference is a welcome recognition of services that veterans
rendered to their country, an attempted compensation in part for
the sacrifices they made, But preference’ applied to a non-existent
Job opportunity is an empty gesture, and it is therefore necessary for
the veteran who is seeking a job to keep himself informed of where
the jobs exist, when, how and where they must be applied for, and
to compete for those that he is best qualified to fill,

REAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR REAL JOBS

‘The civil service Job market is in a constant state of flux at
time and seems certain to continue so for a considerable length
time with vastly. increasing opportunities for permanent jobs in the
State and City services ticularly. It is therefore necessary for
the veteran to keep himself constantly apprised of job opportunities,
This he can do through one medium, by reading the Civil Service
LEADER weekly, for The LEADER lists all real job opportunities
that exist in all civil service—Pederal State and city—and besides
gives valuable assistance tn passing examinations.

In all instances where ‘a steady job is to result, in any branch
of the civil service, it is necessary to pass a standard examination,
uually consisting of a written test at least, followed by an oral inter«
view, and possibly, in special instances, there are physical, medica)
and practical tests, with the exception of Federally-employed vet-
erans with 10 per cent or greater disability.

WORTH WAITING FOR

It ls not possible to walk up to an application window and tell
the clerk that you want a job right away, and be able to get a steady
one, The best you could expect would be a Job temporary in nat
or of indefinite duration, with a time limit. Jobs that offer
seeurity—or tenure, as it is more commonly called in civil service—~
are not Just handed out but are earned. Hence it may take a little
time to get a public job that is worth having, but since it is the
closest thing to a life-time job that exists, and is surrounded wit!
numerous protections against its loss, for veterans,
effort, to. land such @ job is decidedly worth while, The
ayétems, to which the Federal, State or city government contributes
ge than the employee, add ‘to the attractiveness of public em
ment, .

Promotion opportunities in the State and its civil divisions are
greater for veterans, greatest for disabled: veterans, y
ence applies to promotion examinations, too. In the Federal fs
ernment, however, promotions are based on record and ier posting

there are no assembled promotion examinations to higher post
Hence, in the Federal service it is possible to rise to high posit

fou are in, you can wi your way up through your job
record. Where the ultimate goal depends so much on passing
entrance examination, that test takes on an added importance, sim-
Ply because it is “all the examinations there are.” Although for
service'in State and city you also have to pass the entrance—or so-
that you must pase to atinin the betier-peying siberteoss aman

minivtrative positions, Pe Basa

FEDERAL PREFERENCE AND OTHER AIDS
The Federal preference gives the veteran a lift to get
eligible ist on which he ‘might not otherwise bave rotten. ree
The candidates for Foderal jobs are rated in percentage points,
and there is @ passing mark for each exam, To whatever mark
Eggers veteran actually earns, 10 more points are added, and
to

anit, a noalie to do the work, Hits ea:
lon-disal veterans have 5 points added to thelr earned mari,
and this addition also counts toward the passing mark, If the non=
disabled veteran gets on the eligible Ist he does not go to the top
but maintains his relative position. If he has a total score exactly
equalling that of non-veterans, he is appointed before they are,
‘That is the situation in regard to Pederal preference to veterans,
thelr widows and their wives. The purpose ‘of preference is tp help

the veteran to get @ job. It results in both more jobs for veterans and
in faster appointment of veterans,

OTHER ADVANTAGES TO VETERANS

Incidental to this preference is credit for time spent in the
armed services, which is counted as experience for the job
sought. Credit for volunteer work in civic, chureh, labor and welfare
organizations is also allowed to veterans who are job candidates,

» disqualifications that would apply to civilians are not neces=
sarily applicable to veterans, Age, height, weight, physical, m:
and educational requirements will be waived for veterans, a8 to
Jobs, and so will the rule that forbids two persons in the same family
from holding a Federal Job, and the requirement of apportionment
of Jobs among the States on the basis of population.

In addition, some jobs in the Federal civil service, including the
Veterans Administration, are open to veterans only, Guards, elevator
operators and janitors will be hired from veteran ranks only, in other
agencies, too. However, if there are not enough veterans to fill the
needs of the service, non-veterans will be hired, unless the jobs are
absolutely restricted to veterans only, when the government waite |
until enough qualified veterans can be hired,

Ramspeck
Is Praised
By Truma

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25—Rep-
Tesentative Robert Ramspeck (D.,
Ga), chairman of the House
Civil Service Committee for 10
Years and sponsor of much Ped-
ral employee legislation, made
his farewell speech to the House
the other day.

Mr, Ramspeck, who has resigned
to accept a $25,000 a year Job
with an air transport association,
made a strong plea for more pay
for Congressmen.

“No one else,” he said, “is work-
ing for the same pay they got
in 1925."

That was the last time Con-
@ressional pay was adjusted,

“Since we appropriate money
for the executive branch,” he
added, “we should do the same
for ourselves.”

‘Truman Sends setter

Mr, Ramspeck was the guest of
Federal employee unions at a
banquet at the Statler hotel.
President Truman, unable to at-
tend. sent a letter saying:

“I do not know of a public
Servant more deserving of public
honor than you.

he advances made in govern-
Meni service during the decade
of your chairmanship of the very

Committee have been steady and
far reaching, No small part of
the credit is due to your vision
and wise leadership.”

Are Called Too Small;
House Aid Is Sought

|the Byrd amendment acted in
; Shameful disregard for the real
and pressing needs of
workers whose take-home pay
during the entire war period lag-
wed seriously behind rising living
costs, and whose wartime earn-
ings have now been slashed deep-
ly by loss of overtime pay. The
bill as amended {s totally inade-
quate.
Will Ask 30 Per Cent

“The United Federal Workers
of America, which supported the
20 per cent Increases proposed in
the Downey Bill as a temporary
compromise, now reiterates its
original demand for increases of
30 per cent for all Federal work-
ers—classified, Post Office and
wage board alike. It will press
for action on this demand in the

recess, and seek to amend 8. 1415
to conform to that policy when
the bill comes before the House
Civil Service Committee.

“Following is a table showing
the inadequacy of the Increases
proposed in the Senate bill as
amended by Byrd's formula, The
take-home pay of a CAF-3 em-
ployee in 1941 is compared with
the take-home pay he would re-
ceive under the Byrd proposal,
adjusted to 1941 prices, (The of-
ficial government figure for the
rise of living costs—33 per cent—
is used in the comparison.)

CAF-3, Single Worker
In 141

Salary : $1,620°
Retirement .
Taxes 138
$1,482
Byrd Proposal

Salary ........... $2,127.60

Retirement .. 106.38
Taxes (46)... .270.00 376.38
$1,751.22

Cost of living ad-

justment (divide by
af 6 as +: $1,316.00

“CAP-3 worker with 2 depend-
ents will pay, in 1946, $175 in taxes
as against none in 1941. The real
take-home pay of such a worker
was thus $1,563 In 1941, but would
only be $1,368 under the Byrd
amendment.”

252 Club Unites
Censorship Work

Club 252 has as its major ob-
jective to perpetuate the bonds
of friendship formed by those men
and women who for 3% years
served as Federal examiners-trans-
Jators in censorship in NYC and
in aiding the Government in un-
earthing subversive activities,

Club 252 seeks to serve a5 a
laboratory in the dissemination of
tolerance and understanding,

The working hours of officers of
the NYC Fire Department, oo-
operation with officers in other
parts of the State and vacations
are subjects on the current
agenda of the Uniformed Fire

| Officers Association.

More Normal Hours

As of December 16, 1945 the
Captains and Lieutenants in 32
Battalions out of the total of 48
Battalions were working the 59
hour week or 3 Platoon-Added
Duty System. This rapid progress
of the regaining of an 8 hour day
of 23 additional battalions in a
matter of three months is grati-
fying to the Executive Board of
the UFOA because promises are
one thing and results are another,

By January 1st, 10946 the re-
maining 16 battallons should be
“in clover" as well because many
brother officers are returning
from the Armed Forces and the
last vacation perigd of 1945 will
be ended.

Many false rumors haye been
clrenlated about the stand of the
UFOA regarding the Modified 3
Platoon System that the Chiefs
are working; but it is a matter
of record at Fire Headquarters
that the UFOA at the joint meet-
ing held on September 6th, 1946
was the only Officer association
that did not go on record against
the Chiefs’ present working sohed-
ule. Purthermore in all re meet-
ings that the UPOA had with
Commissioner Walsh during 4

UFOA plan ever considered
chenging the Modified 3 Platoor
System of the Chief Officers.

In some respects the Modified 3
Platoon. System is incompatible
with certain labor arguments but
on the other band the number #
men involved was too small to
affect the working hours of 1900
Captains and Lieutenants and
therefore the UPOA saw no reason
to do anything to change a work-
ing system that the Chiefs were
obviously content with

_ CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Mrs. Bromley Praises
Service Rating Safeguards

But Seeks Improvement

recent meeting of the Con-
Sacetice on Civil Service Legis-
Jation, composed of representa-
tives of various NYC employee
organizations, considered a report
on Civil Service Ratings, pre-
red by Mrs, Esther Bromley,
Rhu lunicipal Civil Service Commis-
sioner,

The report, released by Ellis,
Ranen, International Representa-
tive of the American Federation
of Municipal Employees, follows:
By ESTHER BROMLEY, Member,
Municipal Civil Service Commis-

sion.

‘The Civil Service Law provides
that vacancies in the competitive
class shall be filled, so far as
practicable, by promotion from
Jower ranks or grades. It ontger

rovides that promotions shall be

1d upon merit and competition
and upon the superior qualifica-
tions of the persons promoted as
shown by previous service,

These provisions of the law
make jt necessary for the Civil
Service Commission to maintain
records of the performance of em-
ployees. The Service rating sys-
tem administered by the Civil

Service Commission was developed | ~

to fulfil this need.

Prom the beginnings of civil
service in 1883, some type of a
service rating system has been in
operation. In the light of the ex-
perience gained throughout the
years, the Commission has, from
time to time, changed and modi-
fied its rules and regulations and
procedures governing service
rating matters. In 1936, after an
exhaustive study of the Commis-
sion’s own experience and the
service rating practices in other
jurisdictions throughout the
United States, the Civil Service
Commission inaugurated the pres-
ent service rating plan.

Difficulties Tackled

It was the object of the Com-
mission to overcome many of the
difficulties inherent in any per-
sonnel rating scheme. A number
of new features in service rating
practice were introduced by the
Commission. Chief among these
were the following:

1, Frequent Reporting—-By re-
quiring reports to be prepared
Periodically over relatively short
Periods of time, it has heen found
that s more accurate and up-to-
date reeord of the employee's
performance can be scan oa

2. Objective Reporting. —
regulations preseribe that more

MRS. ESTHER BROMLEY

shall be prepared, in the first
instance, so far as practicable, by
the immediate responsible super-
for of the employee, Such person
is most familiar with the quality
of the work performed by the
employee.

3. Review—The regulations fur-
ther provide that each depart-
ment establish a personnel board
to review all of the reports pre-
pared by the reporting officers
throughous the department and to
establish uniformity of reporting
standards within that department,

4. Im Rating Board—
The function of the immediate
superior and the departmental
officials is confined to factual
reporting. The reports so pre-
pared and reviewed are forwarded
te the Civil Service Commission
where the numerical ratings arg
assigned by a corps of civil serv-
ice examiners.

5, Publicity—Employees are in-
dividually informed of the rating
assigned to them for each rating
period. In this manner, an em-
ployee is given knowledge of his
service rating record.

Employees are per~
mitted, under the regulations, to
appes! from any rating agsigned.
In the processing of appeals, it is

What do you say, Soldier?

necessary that factual evidence be
submitted in the same manner as
is required on original reports.

‘1, Self-Reporting—At the time
that the service rating reports are
prepared, an employee has a right
to prepare a statement with
respect to his own service and
have it submitted together with
the report prepared by his im-
mediate superior.

8. Cumulative Ratings—Ratings
accumulate to the credit of an
employee during the course of his
employment until such time as he
participates in a promotion exam-
ination to a higher ranking
Position. In this manner, an em-
Ployee’s total service is considered
when he is a candidate for pro-
motion.

While some of the features
pointed out above are not novel,
the incorporation of these feat-
ures in # single service rating
system is unusual. It is the belief
of the Civil Service Commission
that only through the constant
exercise of these safeguards can
the service rating system truly
operate to supplement the written
examination in selecting qualified
employees for advancement,

‘The Civil Service Commission is
under no apprehension that the
final word in service ratings has
been uttered. It is only through
continuous study and refinement
that any service rating plan will
accomplish the purposes for which
it is established.

Eiserman Is 12th
Fireman to Die
In '45 Accident

Victim of an accident while his
company was answering a false
alarm, John W. Elserman, 40 years
old, died in Mary Immaculate
Hospital, Queens,

‘The twelfth freman to be killed
in the line of duty in 1945, Pire-
man Ejserman leaves a wiidow
and four young children,

Firemen Robert Trieste and
William Commins were injured In
the accident, where a trolley car
and a fire engine collided.

The death of Fireman Eiserman
brings to a new high the accident
fatalities in the department. Mem-
bers of the Uniformed Firemen’'s

Department casualty Ust is longer
than that of any other city de-
partment,

Horrified by the tragedy, John
P. Crane, president of the Uni-

260 | formed Firemen’s Association, an-

nounced that the organization has
offered a reward of $500 for in-
formation leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person who
turned in the alarm.

At Civil Service

After service with the Army as
& major with Military Intelligence,
Prank A. Schaefer is back at his
desk as secretary of the Munici«
al Civil Service Commission.

tion background. When he was
first appointed to his Commission
position in 1938, he was an in-
structor in advanced Latin at
Fordham University, where he
had taught from 1927 to 1938. In

His duties with the Commission
include administrative functions
and public relations work,

Hospital Attendants
Call Mass Meeting

On Low-Pay Issue

NYC Hospital attendants have
called a mass meeting to gain
popular support for a move to
increase their pay. As explained
by Ralph E. Dalton, Bellevue Hos-~
pital Attendant, the idea grew
spontaneously among attendants
when Mayor LaGuardia recently
| urged Increasing Nurses’ earnings
to those of Federal nurses.

The public is invited to attend
the meeting on Thursday evening,
December 27, 8 p. m. at Labor
Temple, 242 East 14th Street.

The Attendants point out that
Federal workers in similar titles
| earn $2,000 a year. The city top
is $1,440 for work ini psychopathia
wards.

WHAT

NYC EMPLOYEES _ SHOULD KNOW

. Establishing Special Eligible

AMONG THE NEW civil service |
procedures which were established
as a result of the war, is the spe-
cial eligible list, Such lists are de- |
Signed to protect the opportunities
of veterans for promotions or ap-
Pointments which may have taken
place during their absence in the
military service. Generally speak-
ing, special eligible ists fall into
two categories: promotion lists on
which veterons attain a place af-
ter discharge, and existing Usts
either open competitive or pro-
motion,

Tf a promotion examination is

held while an eligible candidate
is in the service and he ts not
able to compete at that time, he

must be given a comparable ex-
amination following his discharge,
provided he applies for same |
within sixty days after restora- |
tion to his position, If he passes
the examination and attains a
standing on the eligible ist which
would have been reached for ap-
pointment were he on the origi
nal list, his name must be main-
tained on the list for a period of
two years. If the original lst
does not expire within two years
after the veteran's name is placed |
thereon, a special eligible list
need not How-

Conditions to Be Met

The important conditions which

mist be met before establishing

pointed, his name must be placed
on a special eligible list, provided
he makes a request for such ac-
tion within ninety days following
termination of military duty.
These lists remain in effect for
two years after the termination

of the person's military duty and |
must be certified before subse-
quent lists. In this case the main
conditions which must be met
are

1, Veteran's name must have

Lists

It Is important to note that aps
pointments from special eligible
lists are al present made in the
game manner as appointments
from regular lists; that is, the ap-
| pointing authority has a @hoice of
jthe three graded highest who are
willing to aceept appointment,
iz! ciel eligible lists are unlike
preferred lists from which ap>
|pointments must be made in the
absolute order of standing.

In some instances special eligi+
|ble lists may be established for a
position while war-duration ape
Pointments are still in effect for
jthat class of position. During
such period the Civil Service
Commission must certify the
name of any person on the spe-
cial eligible lst for war-duration
appointment, but, as long as it is
considered impracticable to fill
the position permanently and as
long as a period of six months

beyond the termination of the
|Was has not expired, no certifi
cation for permanent appoint.

special eligible list for war-dura-
tion appointments does not affect
the length of time a person's
name shall remain on such lst,
Whatever way it is used, the
