Five Major
Signed by

ALBANY, April 23—Five major
@r pieces of civil service legisiation
have been signed into Iaw by the
Governor Averell Harriman.
Approved were bills calling for:

1, Elimination of fees on pro-
motion exams,

2. Saturday closing of State of-
Bees.

3. Payment of at least one full
increment upon promotion,

Ail three measures had the
@trong approval of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association.

‘The first dill authorizes the
Blate Civil Service Department,
with Budget approval, and any
municipal elvi) serviee commis-
sion, with approval of local leg-
fxlalive bodies, to waive applica-
tion fees for candidates in pro-
motion examinations,

Comment By Harriman

In commenting on the bill Gov-
mor Harriman said:

“Por many years career employ-
ees tuking examinations for pro-
motion have been required, by
Jaw, to pay a fee. The payment of
& fee to obtain an opportunity for
promotion seems to be out of ine

retired aides and teachers to a

Both of those bills were spon-
sored by the Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, representing the
majority of state workers, As-
semblyman Malcom Wilson intro~
duced the 55-year bill and Assem-
biyman Thomas Runfola the sup-
Plemental pension dill,

In signing the pension bill the
Governor declared:

“1 am glad to approve this

sions for state and joca) retired
employees and teachers.

“Last year I was privileged to

“Tam deeply conscious of our
obligation toward those who have
served faithfully and well over the |
many years, As I said in my mes-
saye to the Legislature on the

M service. However, since appli-
ention fees represent a source of
revenue, the bill does not abolish
them on ® mandatory basis, but
gives each jurisdiction discretion-
ary authority to elect to waive
fees in promotion examinations,

‘The second bill eliminates Stat-
viory requirements that State of-
fwes remain open on Baturday
mornings, The Governor gave his
approval with the comment “Since

ings, little business was ever
transacted, and the use of . . .

waste.”

Mininum of One Increment

The third bill provides for an
Increase of at least one incre-
ment upon promotion, Formerly,
many State employees received
no immediate pay rise upon pro-
motion, Instead, salary fncreas~
es were deferred, to be earned only
through the regular annual inore~
ment process over @ period of
years in the higher grade po-
sition.

Governor Harriman aigned the
measure with the comment that
such a policy was unheard of In
private industry, clearly undesir-
able and discouraging to employ-
ees,

Other Bills Signed

Governor Harriman also signed
two other major bills, one of which
‘would open the age 58 plan of the

fem for a year while another al

| ants ard teachers to live out the

et to keep open on all days except
Sundays and holidays and half-
holidays ‘Saturday afternoons).
‘This in effect requires that State
‘oMices be kept open on Saturday
mornings. The new law amends
Section 62 to require that State
offices be kept open on all days
other than Sundays, holidays and
Saturdays (not required the full
day Saturday), and thus, elimin-
ates the requirement that such of-
| flees be kept open Saturday morn-
inge.

This amendment will not take
effect until July 1, 1956.

‘The new law does not mandate
io closing of State offices on Sat-
urdays, but merely eliminates the

Some offices will be required to

Appoint Guards Near Home

Memo to the Civil Service Commission: To help fn recruiting
prison puords, tt would be a kood idea to appoint men to the in-
living near Elmira ts appointed to Greenhaven or Auburn. Men from
‘stitution nearest their home wherever possible. Generally, a man
the Auburn district winds up in Sing Sing, and so on.

This situation creates undue hardships, moving of the family,
leaving homie ties, taking children out of school, and walting some-
times years to transfer back. Tf an effort were made to locate new
appointees nearer home, many more men would accept appointmens
and be much happier in thelr work.

Some prisons all ready to make temporary guard appointments
from men tuking the exam, just waiting for the O.1¢ from Albany
.. . How ave they setting up the new R. D. 0, schedule in your
institution? Moxt popular seems to be one day off the first week,
two days off the second week, on ® rotating plan.

Appeals Board turned down guards’ request for reallocation to
the R-14 grade, Correction Conference will draw new plans for
the most comprehensive appeal ever taken for presentation to the
Classification Board.

Home Rule Growing, Violations Watched ?

John R. Keratetter, associate director of the American Muntele
pal Association, in an article in Public Management, notes that im
the last 10 years constitutional provisions for home rule have beem
adopted in New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Tennessee, Initiated tm
Connecticut, and were slated for Alaska. Eligibility for home rule wae
extended from # single city to all cittes in Louisiana and Maryland,
Georgia adopted » home rule amendment but has pot yet passed
&n enabling act, Home rule proposals have made progress tn lege
islatures of half a dozen other states,

In New York, a study of possible encroachments is being made
by a special Governor's commission, Concern over whittling inte
home rule has been expressed also In Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota,
Oregon, Texas, Wisconsin, and Rhode Inland.

Nineteen states have home rule for all or a signicant number o@
thelr cities, and 10 other states make some provisions for home rule,

Cure Sought for High Turnover

Turnover of City employees of Philadelphia has risen tn the
last four years,

The Bureau of Municipal Research and the Pennsylvania,
Economy League recommended that city department heads talk to the
employees who quit their Jobs and find out their reasons, “Exit tn«
terviews” they are called. The Civil Service Assembly thinks such
interviews would help the City pinpoint places where personnel
policies brought dissatisfaction, so that future resignations could be
prevented by personne! policy reforms. “Quits mean costly recruit-
ing for vacancies, and training new workers, besides the loss of
qualified personnel, the Assembly points out,

Although the number of voluntary resignations has been de-
clining in Philadelphia lately, tt still accounts for about half of
the turnover. Other important causes are temporary nature of ap-
pointments, firings, and retirement,

The City’s pay acale ts in line with that of private business,
the City has a liberal pension plan, and offers othe: benefits, says
the Assembly.

Vice Helps to Pay Cost of Virtue

‘The yearly yield from the sale of unusable materials runs from
between $150,000 and $200,000 tn Philadelphia, the American Publie
Works Association reports, Among the items up for sale are garbage

Special treatment,

The Police and “Outside” Unions

The City Administration has evidently decided to
handle the labor relations policy for the Police Depart-
Ment with kid gloves, or to allow that department to re-
main aloof from the general trend. How well such a
resolve will succeed is doubtful, in view of the policemen’s

restlessness, to describe it mildly, and the overtures made

by policemen to “outside” unions to come in and take
ever, in the hope that enduring grievances will at last
be remedied.

The City Labor Department lias been issuing reports
and memoranda that contain arguments on both sides of
@ontroversial issues, but in reading between the lines,
and discerning notes of emphasis, one can tell in what
rection the wind is blowing. For instance, in a prelim-

teary report te Mayor Robert F, Wagner, the Labor De-|

interests lie in recognizing that responsibility to the public
always comes first. Actually, police are members of in-
ternational unions in various municipalities, in some of
which the cities have entered into signed agreements with
them on wages, hours, and working conditions. None of
the bugaboo has eventuated, Morever, New York City is
soon to sign its first contract with an employee group,
although not in the Police Department.

The Lesson Taught by Industry

The Uniformed Firemen’s Association and the Uni-
formed Fire Officers Association are both locals of the
Association of Fivefighters, AFL, and do their fine work

bor problems, even their own,

Official preference and opinion ave not going to make
any labor code work with utmost success. Merely con-
sulting employees, without sufficiently heeding their ree-

ommendations, only postpones the day of satisfactory
jand amicable labor relations. Though much improved,
those relations now fall far short of perfection, and there

If You Like an Island

to nearby Gulf Stream, Low bullding costs;
you can erect your 3-5 room cottage for
$3500-$5000,

ther the CSEA activities, and

sel, In this issue begins an

port on what happened dur-

employees favorably than in any

important than the number of
bills passed is the fact that the)
Iegislation covered a wide ranse

bills have
elther been signed or are before
the Governor providing for salary
in the)
work week, a Health Insurance
program with part payment by
the State for public employees,

@s for members of the Retire-
ment System and reopening of

authorizing overtime compensa-
tion for employees in local govr-
ernmental units, payroll deduc-
tton of dues for employee organt-
gations and other benefits tn}

jjt9 cover the final action of the
| Governor on all our program bills
passed by the Legisiature,
Salary Increase
Chapter 135 of the Laws of
1956 embodies

part of the
| Executive Budget, Representatives
[lof the Association first met with
|the Governor's representatives
|and the Budget Director con-
|cerning the 1956 salary increase
on October 24, 1955, shortly after
the Annual Meeting of the Asso-
|clation, and presented at that
{time the substance of the Asso-
[ciation resolutton requesting a»
salary increase, Negotiations con-
tinued during November and
early December and were Inten-
sified during the period from
December 16th to January 10th
on which date the Governor an-
nounced hin recommendations.
The legislation itself provides
for an increase of 15% on the
| frst $2,000 of salary for all State
employees except employees of
the Legislature and Judiciary,
armory employees and those em-
ployees. whose salaries are in
excess of $12,000 and are not
governed by the Feld-Hamilton

a and those paid on other than an
annual basis are also covered by
the legislation and receive a
salary increase which is equiva~
lont to 15% on the first $2,000
of salary. Although the judictary
employees were excluded from
Chapter 136, they were covered
by a separate bill drafted by the
Asvociation which became Chap-
ter $86 of the Laws of 1958 and
provided an identical salary in-
crease for judiciary employees re-
ceiving less than $12,000 per
jannum,

bal}

Increase in Salary

The legislation also grants a
$300 increase to those persons
whose positions were downgraded
in 1954 and who, pursuant to
Chapter 307 of that year, con-
tinued to receive the higher
salary of tne old “G" grade. In
its earlier stages and as initially
drafted the bill would have ex-
chided such persons from
$300 Increase, It was, however,
amended at our request before
final oassage to insure that such
employees will also receive the
$300 increase.

negotiations and since the intro-

‘The Association legislative pro-

Peport will be continued in sub.
LEADER ' 108.

oquent issues of The

in-
cluded 87 measures which were
either drafted by and Introduced

is the first step toward a distor-
tion of the relationship between
salary grades and falls to take
{nto consideration the fact that
employees in the middie and
upper brackets are entitled cor-
respondingly to larger salary in-
creases when compared to the
barometer of comparable salaries
in private industry and other
leading governmental jurisdic-
tons,

Despite these reservations, it a
a cold, hard fact that the salary
increase and the reduction of
hours legislation, which will be

n,
penditure of many more millions
of dollars than have ever pre-
viously been spent by the State
in a single year for salary and
hour Uberalizations,
Reduction in Hours

Chapter 108 of the Laws of
1956 embodies the reduction in
hour legislation recommended by
the Administration tn the Execu-
tive Budget,

How the Reduction Works

As outlined above, the negotia-
tions with the Budget Director
from October 24 to January 10
were also directed principally
toward the companion problem
of a reduction in hours for inst»
tution workers, The Association's
resolution adopted tn October re-
quested the adoption of a man~
datory five-day, 40-hour week and
delegate action in the Association
requested that such reduction be
without loss of present compen-
sation. The ultimate objective of
the 40-hour week has not been

salary grades, Per diem employees | If

Chapter |gies of the
eee

Basically, the legislation re-
duces the” overall permissible
work week from 48 to 44 hours
by amending both the Labor Law
and the Civil Service Law in that
respect, It also provides that any

the |@mployee who worked, on a year

round basis, a fixed number of
hours in excess of 40 and who
has received overtime compensa-
tion during the past fiscal year,
shall have his hours of work
reduced. If he has worked in
excess of 44 hours per work week
in the past fiscal year his hours
on April 1 shall be reduced to
44, If be has worked 44 hours or
less during the past fiscal year
his hours shall be reduced to 40,

Coupled with the reduction In
hours is a provision guaranteeing
the employee that his total salary
for this fiscal year shall not be
less than it was Inst year, It
should again be emphasized that
the so-called “no Joss provision”
applies only to those employees
who held the position on March
31, 1956 and who on that date
had been required on & year
round basis to work a fixed num-
ber of hours over 40 per’ week
and who received overtime com-
pensation for such excess hours,
the employee meets these
qualifications, then the no loss
provision applics to him, The
guarantee basically Is that the
employee's base salary for this
year plus his actual overtime
earnings for the hours he works
this year shall not be less than
his base salary plus overtime for
Inst year, so long as he is in the
same or a similar position and is
working the reduced work week.
Tf the employee is entitled to an
increment or an additional in-
erement he will receive it in
addition to the no loss guarantee,

Once the “no loss” amount is
determined for a particular em~-
ployee that amount of money will
remain fixed in future years so
long as he works the reduced
work week in the same or a
aimilar position and will be in
addition to what his salary would
otherwise be,

Roduction Factor

While the legislation mandates
the reduction of the work week
and was effective April 1, 1956,
the Director of the Budget is
authoried to defer the actual
reduction of hours for those
classes of employment or areas
where it ls impossible to imme-
diately recruit sufficient em-|
ployees. This deferment may be
operative until the necessary em~
ployeea can be recruited. Those
employees who temporarily con-
tinue to work, for example, a 48
hour week, will receive aa com~
pensation the new basic annual
salary, including the $300 in-
crease, plus overtime computed |
on the new salary for the actual |
number of hours worked.

While realizing that the com-
plete objective of the Association
is temporarily deferred, the sig-
nificance of this step both in
terms of immediate result and
ultimate accomplishment of a 40-
hour work week in the State
stitutions cannot and should not
be overlooked, This is definitely
& major legislative accomplish-
ment of the Association,

There ts also pending before
the Governor, although not yet
acted upon, a bill, Senate Print
15, which would grant an Imme-
dinte 40 hour week for the unl-

dincussed below, calls for an ex- | formed force in the prisons with-

jout loss of present compensation.

The Ansoclation has requested
favorable action by the Governor
on this bill, as reported in a pre-
vious lasue of the Leader,
Health Insurance Program
The Governor also hag ap-
proved Chapter 461 of the Lawa
of 1956 wuthorizing « health in-
surance program for state em-
ployees with part of the cost to
be borne by the State, This cul~
minates a long and sustained
effort by the Association to ob-
tain a comprehensive hospitaliza~
on, medical-surgical and modi-
cal catastrophe insurance plan
for State employees both active
and retired, One of the first mat-
ters on which the Governor was
approached ofice
waa the study and inauguration
of such @ program for State

the Administration and with the
Insurauce industry has absorbed

past year,

While beard Governor and
the Lesisia! committed them-
selves early in the session to some
form of « health or hospitaliza-
tion program, there were major
differences in thelr approach. It
Appeared for a time that, al~
though both parties in principle
favored some form of such in-
surance coverage, thelr difference
in detail might prevent any con~
structive accomplishment at this
session, Negotiations on this sub-
Jeet by the Association with Ad-
ministration and Legislative rep-
resentatives continued right up
until the closing days of the
session when the final amend-
ments were made to the bill
which was approved by the Legis~
Inture and signed by the Gover-
nor. We are happy to report that
all of the principles advocated by
the Association were Included in
the bill,

The supplemental budget con-
tained an appropriation of $1-
500,000 for that portion of the
coming fiscal year during which
the program may be in force,
‘The health insurance bill itself
provides that the maximum ex-
| ovarian by the State for such

ith insurance during subse-
quent fiscal years shall not ex-
ceed $6,000,000 per annum,

Whom the Rill Covers

The bill authorizes contracts
which would cover three separate
Classifications: 1, Employees, 2.
Thelr dependents, limited to
Spouse and dependent children,
and 3. Retired State employees
and thelr dependents,

The health insurance board is
given broad authority to nego-
tate with any appropriate in-
surer the most comprehensive

insurance company or come
panies, elther profit or non-profit,
Beside the limitation of six mile
lion dollars per year, the only
other fiscal limitation is that the

cess of an nverage of $85 per
year per employee. We mre con-
fidents that these authorizations
will permit the adoption of an
outstanding health insurance pro=
gram which Is destined to serve
as a model for similar plans in
both public and private employ-
ment.

It is likely that negotiations to
formulate the details of the plan
will consume a number of months
and that the plan itself will prob-
as Fig installed about January
1, 1957.

The importance of this major
legisiative step cannot be over-
emphasized. It is a recognition
by the State of its responsibill-
tles to its employees in a new
fringe benefit area and @ recog-
nition that the Eilamigediontd ot
the State to its ret om)
extends beyond the pevloalg Pay
ment of a retirement check. We
are hopeful that the new Jook
embodied in the health insurance
program is but a first indication
of an expansion of the tradi-
Honal fringe benefit concept inte
areas which should be the con-
cern of the public employer as it
has been that of the private
employer, .

(In the next few issues of the
LEADER, further reports on the
bills by this session of
the Legislature and acted upon
by the Governor will be pub-
lished. Editor,
