Things to Remember
About Salary

here have been two formal negotiation meetings be-
tween representatives of the State Administration

and of the Civil Service Employees Association on salary.
So far, the negotiations have involved mainly an exchange
of information and an examination of the facts.

1e em-|
ployees are secking two things: a freeze-in of the emer-|
gency bonus, so that it becomes part of base pay; and an|
increase of 12 per cent in the salary levels.

The employees have built their case so carefully that
it is virtually unassailable. The Administration must look

upon that case with sympathy and understanding, particu-
larly in view

of the fact that there has been no over-all]
pay increase in two years; and even the increase which
came two years ago was hardly adequate. Some evidence

is at hand that the Administration does look with favor| Comptroller J. Raymond McGovern (left) and Brigadier Emil Nelson ef the Salvation

Deeply-Felt Need

How deeply-felt is the need for pay adjustments was
seen when delegates of institutional employees met in Al-
bany in emergency session to consider the proposal of an
optional 40-hour week at straight pay for those who would
care to have such a work-week. (The present optional
work-week is 48 hours in institutions.) The delegates, al-
most with a single voice, rejected the proposal. Th mp-
ly could not view with anything but distaste a proposal
which might negatively affect the take-home pay of any
employee. TI

e only plan which was acceptable provided
that the number of hours worked be reduced to 40, but
that the pay continue at the 48-hour level. The employees
can't afford to work for less, however desperately they
desire the 40-hour week,

The intensity of feeling genera’ at the meeting has
but one meaning: it reveals how inadequate institu
wages are; and of course the sé
institutional employees, The demonstr: n, precisely be-

cause it was so emotional, is a circumstance and a fact that
the Administration must note,

Saturday, December 26.

In addition, department heads
bave been atithorized to reduce

had been issued covering Thurs-
day, December 24.

Since no reference had beem
made to institutional employees,
John FP. Powers, president of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, sought clarification, because
the exacting duties in institutions
require that 24-hour service be
rendered to patients and inmates,

Mr. Powers was assured that
directives would be sent to each
institution granting one-half day

The Pay Window

By F. HENRY GALPIN:
Salory Research Analyst, Civil Service Employees Association

‘THERE ARE four basic job evaluation methods. A fifth may be
may combination of the four others, The list: 1, the ranking system.;
B, job classification; 3, the point system; 4, the factor comparison
system; 5, the combination. :

‘Let us see what are the difference and the values, too,

But first let's agree on the terminology. What is meant here by
Job evaluation is not a service record or merit rating. Such factors
have to do with the work record of individual employees. What we
fave considering is the job.

In State service, allocation and classification are synonymous
terms.

Systems Described

In actual practice in private industry generally there is a com-
bination of systems and a method is tailor-made to fit the particular
peoblem that confronts management,

‘The descriptions below are necessarily simplified, Any two tech-
Micians may have different concepts and describe them differently.

‘The Ranking Sysiem.—Here jobs are arranged from high to low
fm pay scales like cards in a playing card deck, Then, the jobs are
analyzed by the division or department ranked in order of their im-
portance or value to the organization, Job specifications or descrip-
tions may or may not be used. After the departmental rankings have
been made these are combined into overall organizational ranking.
Prom this organizational ranking it is possible to determine the
mumber of groups or grades of jobs that exist in the organization and
te more effectively administer the personnel system in effect,

‘This system is not usually used because it is too crude although
% might work satisfactorily in a small organization. Incidentally,
the ranking may be done by existing pay levels rather than value of
‘the job.

‘The Point System.—This method has probably had the widest
spplication of any of the job evaluation systems and in recent years
has made rapid headway in industrial usage although in this writer's
knowledge there are only a few “pure” point systems used, Under the
points system factors such as education, responsibility for product
ésignificance of bad judgment), responsibility for safety of others,
working conditions, mental effort required, degree of public contact
and others are predetermined as factors that are common in all
fobs to be valued which comprise all of the factors that make up the
total duties and responsibilities of the job. Schedules of points are
then assigned for the various (actors, For, example, one point might
be assigned for required education of grammar school, two points for
high school education, three points for high sehool graduation, ete.
The range of points values for the job components may then be

weighted for value. If widely divergent occupational groups are to be

included more than one set of factors may be used.

After the points have been selected and properly weighted a
e@ommittee, that usually includes both management and employees
sits down and assign points for each of the factors in each of the

Positions to be evaluated. After this has been done the points are
totalled for each of the jobs and converted into a dollar wage, and
usually for only certain key jobs in the structure. Often it is found

that regardless of the amount of care in the 5

lection of factors and

evaluation of them that the total points assigned some jobs “just
don’t make sense.” These Jobs that may have included peculiar char-
acteristics that do not lend themselves to point system ev ion are)
then adjusted to correspond to the “facts of life.” |
‘To completely discount the value of the system just described be-

@ause of these “adjustments’
methods require “adjustm

The Factor Comparise stem—This method of job evaluation
ts known by a variety of designations such as the job comparison sys~
tem or the key job system, It is @ refinement of the point system,
im its essence, More emphasis is placed on “bench mark” jobs in the
evaluation and the
since the various fac’
trasted to a point value before evaluation.

The N. Y, State Prison Guard
has for many years pushed for 25
ear retirement at half pay. Many
law enforcement agencies and
prison guards have retirement

‘ork State the retirement for
guards has Jagged behind. The fol-

We find that the N. Y¥. State
Prison Guard entering State ser-
vice at 21 years of age must work
a minimum of 34 years before he
is eligible for retirement. This
points up the glaring weakness of
present system, A 25-year retire-

a-year post as executive vice pres
dent and a director of the New York
Telephone Company. His total pay
as a State official, including salary
and expenses, will come to about
$20,000. The New York Telephone
Company will, apparently, pay him
his pension in addition.
Two Vacancies
The Governor has two additional
sitions to fill on the Civil Service

mmission, since the terms

of}

Louise C. Gerry, Buffalo Republican, | at

and Alexander A. Falk, New York|
Democrat, have both expired. Miss)
Gerry will not be re-appointed
eording to all reports; Mr. Falk
likely to be named for another term.

There is much speculation about
what will happen in the event that
a new admi ration takes office
after the November 1954 elections.
Since the president of the Civil
Service Commission serves at the

leasure of the Governor, Mr. Tay-
tn position could conceivably be
ef short duration.

Dewey Lauds Him

In announcing the appointment, | ®

Governor Dewey said it would prove
“a boon to the State government,
as an employer, and to the 80,000
employees.” He added: “I am confi-
dent the merit system will be vastly
improved and extended under Mr,
Taylor...”

The Governor's office also lauded
the outgoing president, J. Edward
Conway, as a “valued’ member of
the administration.” It is assumed
in political circles that another post
will be found for Judge Conway.

This Breakdown of
Recruitment Must Stop!

he Civil Service Commissions should take immediate

initiative in improving recruitment, by themselves
conducting studies of why results are so poor.

The Federal Government's failure to get enough ean-
didates in some exams, far too few in others, and the
steady decline in appeal to the cream of the college crop
for the junior jobs the U. S. can offer them, makes such
a study necessary now.

New York State has been suffering similar experi-
ences, not only in exams for scientific, professional and
technical jobs, but for others, including State Police. The
application period for some of the State’s college series
exams was extended, for an obvious reason.

In NYC the efforts to get enough police eligibles have
been constantly disappointing. In the latest appeal, 12,000
applied, which may be heartening to one trembling with
frustration, but the past average was 26,000, and the
future average should be no less. In other job eategories
in NYC the situation is worse.

While it is true that one solution is obvious — offer
higher pay — the problem has important ramifications.
Age limits, minimum requirements in general, residence,
and level of exam given require close study, for additional
light on the need of improving the scope of recruit-
ment. The broader the recruitment base, the higher the
expected calibre of candidates.

Also, such studies should weigh with sharp but im-
partial eye the growing practice of making minimum re-
quirements so high that fewer and fewer persons apply.
This is a tendency by Commissions to substitute, in part at
least, stiff minimum requirements, for the exam itself.
Many excluded would undoubtedly fare well in the test.

A usual objective of such rigid rules for the privilege
ef competing is to reduce the workload of the Commission.

Commission Must Assert Needs

This gets back to the money question. The Commis-
sions may not have large enough staffs to rate so many
thousands of additional papers. That would not be the
eandidates’ fault nor the public’s, rather secondarily that
of the executive branch of government, in the exercise of
its budgetary functions, and of the legislative branches
that vote the funds. Primarily, unless Commissions eon-
vince the executive arm of their needs, and that arm con-
vinces the legislative arm — a duty that Commissions tend
to avoid under an unnecessary feeling of temerity — the
Commissions will continue to be plagued by recruitment
let-down in a highly competitive market.

Not only is government competing with private in-
dustry, though not with best success, but one government
jurisdiction is competing with another. When both short-
comings, of too low salaries and too small staffs, exist con-
currently, one government is competing with itself,

The required studies should be comprehensive in
scope and detail. They should deal with the important pub-
lic relations in recruitment. They should include examining
techniques. The U.S. blazes the way in this fruitful field,
but still should find out if its very splendid efforts can not
even be made utterly notable. Other jurisdictions do too
Nitile in this area; or in a pinch, turn to the U. 8.
for guidance, even sending their own examiners to take
courses in Washington D. C. If some Commissions were
examined on how well they know the most modern, ap-
proved examining techniques, they would flunk the exam

Year after year the serious and growing shortage of
eandidates, despite increasing population, increasing
government functions, and a general increase in the num-
‘eae ef jobs, can not be tolerated. The situation already is
alarming. Service to the public is threatened. The complex
and interlocking causes must be brought to light and cor-
pected. The future of the merit aystem demands it,

Question,
Please

AS I AM a disabled veteran, I
took a U, 8. exam open only to
disabled veterans, and received a

ing mark in the written test.
wever, when in the oral inter-
view I was held disqualified. I
appealed to the Regional Office of
the U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
sion, but the finding of the oral
examiner was upheld. Now I am
wondering what to do next, and
whether I am not entitled to ap-
pointment, as the exam as for
disabled veterans, I passed the
written test, and the oral inter-
view, being subjective, shouldn't
count against me, L.P.E.

Answer — The oral interview is
as much @ part of the exam as is
the written test. The official no-
tice no doubt stated that candi-
dates must pass the oral inter-
view test, also, The only addi-
tional course you'd have would
be an appeal to Washington, D. C.,
but on the showing to date the
indication of success doesn't ap-
pear too good. Opening an exam
to disabled veterans only is no
assurance that, on passing only
the written part, where there are
other parts, that a candidate will
be declared eligible.

I APPLIED in a NYC exam and
paid the application fee. However,
the Civil Service Commission rul-
ed that I did not meet the mini-
mum requirements. Am I not en-~
titled to a refund of the fee?
JK. B.

Answer — Yes. The Commis-
sion makes such refunds, as a
matter of course, in about a month
but there is no reason why you
should not write the Commission,
requesting refund, and stating the
particulars, including your appli-
cation number, the title of the
exam, and date when you applied.

HAVING NOTIFIED the State
Civil Service Commission of my
declination of a tentative job
offer, from an eligible list, because |
of too low salary, I am now ready |
to accept the salary offered. What
shall I do? MK.

Answer — Notify the Commis-
sion in writing of your with-
drawal of your declination for rea-
sons of insufficient salary, and ask
that your name be fully restored
to the active list. As it stands,
your name is an active one on
the list only in the absence of
eligibles willing to accept appoint-
ment at the offered salary.

NOT WORRIED
OVER QUESTIONNAIRE

Editor, The LEADER:

Tam one who might be affected
by the NYC loyalty questionnaire.
I'm not worried about the ques-
tions, My own record is clear, I
don’t think that the questions
themselves are as important as is
the policy that will be pursued in
dealing with the answers. I've
seen no evidence of any harsh or
persecutive policy in NYC, which
along with New York State, of all
jurisdictions, has resisted the
security hysteria best.

I don't mind if the questions
are modified, but I'm ready to
answer the questionnaire as it is,
if I have to, and would do so
without fear,

The NYC loyalty questionaire Is
too tough on those seeking jobs,

CIVIL SERVICE

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALEE

THE YEAR 1953 saw little effort to swell the number of exempé
Jobs at the expense of the competitive service, except in the Pederall
Government, where 27 per cent of the positions put in Schedule @
were formerly in the competitive class.

There has been no showing of strong political motivation as
in the Federal operation ,though competitive employees who
in Democratic parades or attended Jackson Day dinners are drawing
no dividends on that account in the Eisenhower Administration,

The patronage question is growing hot in the Federal Goverm
ment. Complaints from members of the Kepublican National Com«
mittee, including Chairman Leonard Hail of Nassau County, New
York, that patronage wasn't being handled “effectively,” ¢ resulted
in the creation of duties as official patronage “experts’ ‘in each de~
partment, some of them already filled. These are assignments, usually,
rather than new positions, and the purpose is to see that more jobs
£0 to deserving Republicans, If new jobs are created solely for this
purpose the situation will become fantastic,

Since President Eisenhower, by court decision, has the power te
classify new jobs, to shift existing ones from one classification te
another, and to fire at will incumbenis in Schedules © and A joba
the road to patronage ig wide open. Whether the President will ge
along with the political element, composed of Republican Senators
and Representatives, and Republican National Committee members, ee
with the reform element, that the U.S. Civil Service Commission is
supposed to represent, is one of the top civil service questions before
the country,

Chairman Philip Young of the U.S. Civil Service Commission t=
also the President's personnel liaison officer, so is right in the execu
tive swing of things departmental. He has never been known to be
politically motivated, How jong he can stand up against political pres~
sure strong enough to win over the President himself is no mystery
With the nationwide political picture not being too bright at the mo»
ment for the Republicans, the President might yield to the politicians,

As a skirmish in the batiie, doubtful cases that were not put
into Schedule C are now going to be reviewed by the Commission,
Some departments were generous in asking that jobs be put in thaé
wide-latitude Schedule, If the result of the new survey is the grant
| ing of a large number of previously denied requests, it would be @
tipoff that the politicians are making headway.

Schedule C jobs are of a confidential or policy-determining natura,
by definition, but definitions as elastic as for exempt jobs
in other jurisdictions. Schedule A jobs are of the “specialist” typa,
closer to non-competitive ones in other jurisd.ct.ons, lacking the job
protection that non-competitive ones have in other jurisdictions.
Civil service security not longer attaches to either, and it is even @
question whether the Veteran Preference Law applies. The Civil
Service Commission says Yes, the U.S. Department of Justice says
No, On the other question, of general job security, they took the
same opposite positions, and the court susiained the Departmons
of Justice.

The law case just decided didn't involve the veteran preference
question, but, if one comes up that does, the danger signal will be
out, unless Congress passes an amendment expressly providing that
veteran preference does apply to Schedule C and A jobs. It may
even try to take away from the President, by legislation, the power
to fire at will from A and ©. But would the President sign such a
bill? Well, he could forestall Congress entirely, if he desires. The
power the court held he possesses was based on his own executive
order. All he'd have to do would be to issuc a superseding order, saying
te what extent civil service protection does apply, when a competi-
tive employee's job is reclassified into Schedule C or A, and specifically
state that the Veteran Preference Law protection remains,

The job classification in NYC, under the direction ef Sidney M,
Stern, goes steadily along. Something definite should take shape
regarding the first field undertaken for study—the engineering and
technical service. Proposals are being exchanged and amended and
agreement between employee groups and the City appears near,

Consultation of public employee organizations is growing, am
excellent sign, Conference makes for wholesome results and empha«
sizes the mutual nature of responsibility.

The present U.S. Civil Service Commission is going in for thie
morale-building method more than its predecessors did, In New York,
the State Administration is conferring wilh Civil Service Emp!oyee
Assocation leaders on the expected pay increase. In NYC, Mayor-cleet
Robert F. Wagner Jr. has promised employee groups that his legislae
tive “package” will not be put in final form until employee orgonizae
tions have been consulted, They are well satisfied with the tentat' ve
“package,” have suggested only minor changes and one major addix
tion, and like Mr, Wagner's purpose and approach,

The addition desired is the 25-75 pension plan—employee to pay
25 per cent, City 75—which is temporarily off the list as too costly
for the present, though not dead, at least in Mr. Wagner's camp, ug
any means. The real rub would be in the State Legislature, which}
voted a restriction against any such pension liberalization last yeaay
waless the Legisiature's approval were ebtained,

. Income Tax

By i. J. BERNARD
Tax Refunds Arise

Iargely from itemization of deduc-
tions, that prove the withholding
was too high, and these deductions
fare in six main groups. The tax-
Payer should list them on Page 3
@f the 1040 form, and mail the
entire filled-out form to the U. 8.
Bureau of Internal Revenue, in the
district where he normally files
Kis return. If it is his first return,
he sends it to the office in the
@istrict in which he lives.

‘The six deduction groups are;
» contributions; (2), interest;
, taxes; (4), losses from fire,
storm, or other casualty, or from
theft; (5), medical and dental
expenses, and (6), miscellaneous.

CONTRIBUTIONS

‘The contributions include those
fe charitable and religious insti-
tutions, hence include donations
te Red Cross, Salvation Army,
American Heart Association, Da-
mon Runyon Cancer Fund,
ehburches and temples, The chari-
table or scientific organizations to
which contributions are made
must be recognized as entitling
one to claim the deduction. The
pamphiet the U. S. supplies to
taxpayers clears up this point,

Total contributions normally
will be under 10 per cent. They
should be itemized on the lines

ided for the purpose, next to

box marked “Contributions.”
‘Then the amounts are added and
the total put in the column at
right, There are limits to the per-
centage of income that may be
@laimed for contributions, but pub-
Be employees won't be in the any-
where near the limits, but may
read in the U. S. booklet about
those limits.

‘TEREST
Interest applies to interest se-
tually paid, including interest
on a mortgage on one's
. and on personal loans re-
eelved.

Taxes include taxes on land
and improvements on the land
such as house, but not assessments
for local improvements,
onsidered a direct benefit to the
Property. and which would bring
& tax benefit, only through amor~
tization in the report on the real
estate operation, made on Pag
2 of the return. Also under taxe:
ome auto plates and gasoline and
gales taxes.

FIRE AND THEFT

Losses from fire, theft, storm,
@te., while deductible, must- be
supported by reference to the

exact time and place of occur-
rence.

Losing a wallet, as by dropping
®, is not a deductible loss. That
Joss could be caused by sheer
earelessness, which is not a ground
for tax-reduction, The wallet
would have to be stolen,

In claims arising from auto
erashes, if the amount is sizeable,
the accident would have been re-

to the police, and in many

tances the law requires that it

be reported, so include the exact

date of report, and identify the

police station, town, or village,
MEDICAL EXPENSES

Medical expenses may be claim-
ed, within limits specified in the
U. 8. pamphlet, Add the medical
expenses, and deduct 5 per cent of
othrwise taxable income (adjust-
gross income), This adjusted

figure will show up on Page 1 of)
the return when you follow the|
VU. 8. pamphiet’s instructions. Do}

forget, as many do, to deduct}
5 per cent. The taxpayer is
by law the co-insurer of his medi-
al expenses to that extent.
‘There are limits, also, to maxi-
mum amount claimable, even af-
ter this is done, and the limits
depend on income, as explained in
the U. S. pamphlet. Under medi-
eal expe one may include
medical and dental fees, cost of
medicines, drugs (but not drugs
for addiction purposes), and drug
gore supplies in the medical
@ategory; also wheel chairs, braces,
erutches and surgical appliances
lly. Cost of health and hos-
Insurance premiums also is
le, to the extent paid for
the taxpayer. But if the tax-
is over 65, he should read
instructions in the U, 8.
Ppamphict, to see how his medical
@mpenses may be deducted in full.
CSEA Insurance Premiums
Premiums paid under the health
amd accident policy of the Civil
@ervice Employees Association are

| meng but those paid under

group life policy are not,
AMBULANCE NOT EXEMPT
Anvambulance driver is subject

MISCELLANEOUS

‘The sixth grouping, “Miscellan-
cous,” comprises many deductible
items, such as cost of tools, uni-
forms, union or employee asso-
ciation membership dues, and any
expenses the taxpayer incurred
on behalf of his employer's busi-
ness which were not refunded.

The cost of police and fire uni-
forms, if paid for by the employee,
are now deductible, but the cost
of most other uniforms is not,
unless they aro stored on the em-
Noyer’s premises and laundered
here,- The test is whether the
uniform substitutes for regular
street wear,

If expenses, as for travel, are
refunded, such expenses would be
listed with income on Page 1, and
the deduction of the refunded
amount made right on Page 1,
which has the effect of cancelling
the refund from income. Under
“Miscellaneous” the unrefunded
amount of any expenses except
travel expenses, is deductible,

Caution on Refund

The taxpayer should be care-
ful to list refunds, not only in
regard to business expenses, but
also medical expenses, losses,
casualties or theft. It is common
practice for the tapayer to insure
is car against fire, theft, colli-
sion and personal ability, so if
there's been a refund of less than
the actual damage, only the dif-
ference should be claimed, and
identified as “not refunded.” So,
if one has health or hospital in-
surance, and incure medical or
hospital expenses, part of which
are paid for by the Health In-
surance Plan, or the Blue Cross,
or the like, he claims only the
difference, and, again, identifies It
as “not refunded.” Do not claim
premiums as deductions when re-
funds are received under policies
financed by those premiums,

Personal liability damage is not
deductible hor 4

100 P. ©. Deduction

The interest on mortgage and
taxes on house and lot are 100
per cent deductible, even if one
has a tenant. To make this clear
to all who see the return it is well
to list these deductions on Page
3, and not in the report on the
real estate operations, on Page 2,
where some one may get the idea
that the interest and taxes are
subject to reduction, The amount
deductible for repairs, etc. is in
the proportion of -the tenant's
occupancy bears to the total occu-
pancy. Because of the considerable
confusion on this point, the dis-
tinction can not be emphasized
too often or too emphatically. How
obvious it {s may be seen from the
fact that if one owns and wholly
occupies a house — no tenants
at all in this case — under the
mistaken theory no deduction
would apply, although the inter-
est charges and taxes are 100 per
cent deductible.

Benefit for Pensioners

Retired employees should watch
the modified tax exemption al-
lowed to those who contributed
toward their retirement allow-
ance. They should report as in-
come, in the first retirement year,
only 3 per cent of the amount that
they contributed. They should not
report the year's total retirement
cheeks as income at all. Subtract
the 3 per cent of cost, from the
retirement income for each year,
year after year and keep adding
these differences, The growing fig-
ure represents the part of cost
received back tax-free. When
the amount received back equals
cost, the tax-exemption ceases,
usually a few years, and it will
likely cease on other than Jan-
uary 1, so in the last year of tax
benefit there'll! be some months
tax-free and others not.

Meanwhile, only 3 per cent of
usually in a few years, and it will
cost, for the few years, is re-
ported as pension income for tax
purposes,

Any pensioners who may have
overlooked this benefit could file
amended returns for past years to
catch up with themselves,

Vets Medically Rejected
Though in Tip-Top Form
Now, Here's Reason Why

The most difficult tests for a
Civil Service Commission to make
are the psychiatric ones. The field
is new. law ties a Commis-
sion’s hands. Decisions are often
trying, both to candidate and
Commission, Not only is past
medical history weighed, but a
decision may portend a dismal life
prospect for the candidate.

‘The Question

The legal limitation placed on
the Commission's psychiatric staff
by law relates to disabled veterans
and is found in the State Con-
stitution. Disability preference
may be granted only “if such
member was disabled in the actual
performance of duty in any war,
is receiving disability payments
therefor from the United States
veterans administration, and his
or her disability is certified by
such administration to be in
existence at the time or his or ber
application for appointment or
promotion.”

The. double rub is that there
must be an existing VA pension
and the disability must be certi-
fled the VA as presently
existing. Thus, the VA, and not
the State or local Civil Service
Commission decides whether dis-
ablity preference would apply. The
Commission decides whether the

A_| certified disability is disqualifying.

‘Then where is there any prob-

lem?
The Answers

Suppose a veteran claiming
disability preference can prove
the disability no longer exists, or,
more to the point, the Commis-
son's psychiatrist or other physi?
cian finds that the medical or
physical disability, for which a
pension was granted, has been
cured. The VA pension still is
being drawn by the candidate.
What then?

The question now becomes:
Shall the Commission's finding or
the VA certification prevail. The
State Constitution . leaves no
choice.

Another possibility ts that the
pension was given for a disability
difficult to evaluate or check, like
some vague back injury, on repre-
sentations by the candidate when
his chief interest was getting a
VA pension. Now he is protesting
to the Commission that he's in
tip-top condition.

Again the State Constitution:
requirement prevails. The U.
Government says that the candi
date has a defined disability. The
Commission therefore may grant
disability preference, if it finds
the candidate otherwise qualified,
But the Commission, though sat-
isfied that no such disability now
exists, is bound by the supposi-
tion that if it did exist the can-
didate would not be otherwise

perform the duties of the job,
even though in fact he may be so
fit. Thus the very basis on which
the veteran depended for dis-
ability preference deprives him not
only of such preference but ac-
tually knocks him out of the exam.
The veteran is disqualified for a
reason that, so far as the Com-
mission may be aware, does not
exist.

‘The strictest psychiatric exami-
nations are given to candidates
for jobs concerned with public
safety, if anything shows up that
suggests the advisability of a
psychiatric test. Hence for jobs
as patrolman, fireman and tran-
sit patrolman, the rules are
strictest. Any job that requires
an appointee to carry firearms,
or come in constant contact with
the public, will be marked by
psychiatric rules only a little less
strict,

Wide Application

Ti is a Commission rule to re~
Ject candidates for police and fire
jobs, for instance, if they are re-
ceivng compensation from the U.
8, Veterans Administration, be-
cause those are not jobs in which
The nature

entirely,
many of them are mental. The
VA certification may show that
the candidate was treated for a
mental ailment, or discharged on
the ground of mental ailment. A
mere history of s mental condi-
tion ts sufficient for rejection, in
police and fire exams, The history
may be unrelated to service or
records of the armed forces,
hence non-veterans are equally

S.| be free to accept him,

show up only in the case of those
claiming veteran preference, or
veterans only. The candidate
must state whether or not he is @
veteran. He may or may not claim
veteran preference, for reasons
of his own, but his VA record will
be searched. That is a record the
candidate himself never sees, but
the Commission does. The can-
didate may not know this, and
dangerously think a little retil
cence will do him a lot of good.

Why Policeman Lost His job

This produces a desperate sit~
uation for many veterans. They
are eager to become policemen,
let’s say. They may even get ap-
pointed as policemen, because vet-
erans are in the majority, and not
all records can be searched com-
pletely before appointment. But
the record will catch up with
them, Then they lose the jobs they
studied and otherwise strived so
intensely to obtain,

That actually happened to @
NYC policeman who had a record
of confinement to a mental hos-
pital during his civilian life. The
armed forces and the VA didn’t
enter the picture at all. But the
NYC Police Department, which
investigates, for the Commission,
all candidates for appointments
to the uniformed police force, dug
up the record, All money
spent for uniforms, firearms, am-
muniton and the like, and the
propect of a police career, were
wiped out overnight, Of course,
the candidate had suppressed the
fact of his confinement. One of
the questions in the application
form asks whether the candidate
ever was confined to a mental in-
stitution, He answered no. The
application blank is sworn to, and
that made it perjury — the false
statement under oath of a ma-
terial fact — sufficient reason,
alone, to cost him his job,

Next Step A Problem

In the other instances candi-
dates are wholly innocent, an-
swer all questions truthfully, bus
are faced with their disqualifying
actual condition. The problem
then is what should the candidate
do next? This is a delicate ques-
ton, No Commission will advise
him, He has, however, the choice
of trying to convince the VA that
he no longer suffers the disability
for which he's receiving a pension,
Lf he succeeds, the Commission will
it it finds
him otherwise qualified, The can-
didate may even pass, and claim
non-disabled veteran preference,
That would give him five extra
points in anu open-competitive
exam, two and a half in a promo-
tion exam. Disabled veterans get
twice as high premium points.

Suppose the pension is cancell-
ed, and then the candidate finds,
to his dismay, that the Commis-
son has rejected him anyway, for
some reason not related at all te
the disability. Then the pension
is gone, and so are thé prospects
of the job on which he had set hie
sha That is the candidate's

Departmental Tests

Both the Commission and the
department, in the case of police,
fire, and transit police, hold thelr
own supplementary medical testa,
but only the Commission has psy-
chiatrists. Any difference of op.
inion is ironed out between Com
and department. The
Commission has final say, as @
matter of law, but as a matter of
Practice, a department simply
won't appoint an eligible if com
sidered medically unfit.

Not only mental cases, bus
others, get thorough medical
check,

Strong Drive Being Organized
To Push Pension Tax-Exemption
As Soon as Congress Reconvenes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 — The
Wational Education Association,
powerful organization of teach-
erg, is preparing an intensive drive,
to start as soon as Congress re-
@onvenes, for full tax-exemption
@f pensions.

‘The association believes that,
with tax reduction in the air for
the first time in a couple of
decades, the project stands a
good likelihood of succeeding.

‘The effort has been defeated in
Previous sessions of Congress on
grounds regarded by the propo-
nents as specious, but understood
to have been occasioned by the
adamant word from above that
the country couldn't stand tax
reduction. Now, it is believed, that
argument has leen shattered,
especially in view of the income
tax reduction, slight though that

Seeking Group Support

‘The NEA will try to rally the
@upport of as many organizations
as possible, preferably behind one
bill, and will of course prefer its
own bill. Not only public em-
ployee pensions would be affeot-
ed, this time.

Various employee organiza-
tions throughout the country have
signified approval of the princi-

e of a tax-exemption measure,
if t t

including the Civil Service Em-

ution of New York

State organizations are also

roposed bill wouldn't go that far
t would sct a minimum amount

for tax freedom for pensions

generally. Formerly $1,800 was a

favorite figure, This time i may

be around that, too. The maxi-

y pension benefit un-
Security is $1,020
a month — and if i

that figure probably would be con-
sidered. W considered of ut-
most importy is to get the pen-
gion tax freedom going.

What Present Law ls

As the situation now stands,
pensions are subject to « limited
exemption, if the employee
sontributed part, or financed all,
the cost.

It works like this:

"Take the total amount of money
That the employee himself actual-
wy put up. Strike 3 per cent of
that figure. That is the amount

to be treaed in the beginning as

Strike the difference between the
two amounts, retirement re-

ment. That represents the amount
“forgiven,” or, as another saying
has it, is the amount that the em-
ployee receives back. Year after

the amounts forgiven are

ployee’s cost, when the limited
exemption ceases, and the full
retirement allowance must be re-
ported thereafter as income. This
usually happens a few years af-

The U, 8, says that the retire-
ment money received includes in-
terest on the amount the em-
ployee put up and the 3 per cent
is supposed to represent that in-
terest, in other words, income in
the form of interest. Social Sec-
urity and Railroad Retirement are

Oneida Diners Spurred
To Top Membership Goal

UTICA, Dec. 28 — The annual
Oneida County membership drive
dinner was held at the Club
Monarch, Yorkville. More than 200
members of the Oneida County
ehapter of ‘the Civil Service Em-

yees Association attended.

ong the guests were many
Oneida County officials.

‘The guest speakers were Joseph
¥. Felly, 1st vice president of the
Association, and Charles D.
Methe, co-chairman of the Asso-
¢iation’s membership committee.
They told of the CSEA member-
ship increases in County and State
Dvisions. Vernon E. Olin, chapter
president, the other speaker,
stressed the chapter's membership
Potential of more than 2,000, and
asked members to set the 100 per
ent mark as the goal.

Pay Goals

Mr, Olin said the “chief basis”
@m which the chapter is striving
for salary increases in the county,
and in particular cities such as
Sherrill, Utica and Rome, in
towns, villages and schools, is that
“every man living in this or that
eommunity is entitled to be mar-
fied and raise a normal family
on the: pay he is receiving from
his public service, according to
his qualifications and ability,
without being forced to accept
outsidé employment to meet the
ordinary necessities of life.”

Annabelle Sarmie Wins

The contest for the honor of
being “Miss CSEA, Oneida
County” was won by Annabelle
Sarmi¢, an employee of the county
hospitgl at Utica. Steve Circh,
the chapter's publicity director,
made the presentation. Close eon-
testants were Ariene Fluty, County
‘Welfare Department; Annabelle
Nado, Utica Water Department,
and Virginia Moskal, Utica City

Hall. They comprised Miss Gar-
mie’s “court.”

‘The dinner committee included
Mrs, Rosalie Sarmie, Mra. Jose-
phine Paladino, Mrs. Ruth Mann
and Mr. Circh.

The event proved highly suocess-
ful, and the chapter received
compliments all around.

Repeat Performance

‘The contest generated so much
enthusiasm that the ehapter is
considering making i an annual

event. Other counties may adopt | 468.

the plan, the chapter feels, and

one day even a contest to deter-

mine “Miss CSEA, Mew York

State,” may develop. The obap-

ter found that the contest pro-

ne a nexcellent basis for pub-
ity.

Bills to Curb

‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 38—Rep-
resentative Emmanual Celler (D.,

How Veteran Preference
Is Applied in N. Y. State
As the Year 1953 Ends

One of the most important ques-
tions concerning veteran prefer-
ence, in exams for filling Jobs with
the State or any of its communt-
ties, is what periods and of what
Kind of service are covered. A fact
often lost to sight is that prefer-
ence applies only to war veterans,
not to veterans generally. Hence

war, but how far short is any-

(Continued from Page 3)

system that utilizes some of the features of all of these “systems.”
For example, under the “point” system the jobs are ranked as im
the ranking system to see how things “stack up.”

The Job Classification System—This {s a system that is commonly
used in public employment. It is the system sponsored by Griffen-
hagen Associates and two of the chief proponents amongst the bulk
of public employers are the Classified sérvice of the Federal service
and the State of New York. Under this system a number of classifica~
tion or pre-determined grades are established in advance and jobs
are assigned to these classifications based on the job descriptions,
To apply this system in an organization it is necessary to set up
Job levels or grades and to define these job level in terms of the
elements of the jobs in which the duties and responsibilities are
clearly defined for each level. Of necessity, this method of job evalu-
ation must be based on # thorough knowledge of the jobs in the
organization so that all work elements will be included so that the
technicians ean clearly distinguish this difficulty and responsibility,
After the levels have been established it is then necessary for the
analyst to define and classify each job into the proper grade.

Must Be Easily Understood.

From the viewpoint of the employee, any system that does not
readily reveal to employees the method wherein their jobs are “pay
rated” leaves much to be desired. The fact of the high degree of vague-
mess in the system and {ts difficulty of description makes some of the
weaknesses ef the system self-evident, How many State employees
ean explain just why their job is in # particular grade?

In « recent publication by the 20th Century Fund, “Employment
and Wages in the United States,” the following statement is made:

“Job evaluation started as a simple program for classifying
salaries and wages. Jobs were classified according to wage levels by
analyzing duties and responsibilities but without naming or using
specified job factors or characteristics. Frequently, general criteria
were worked out to define the level of skill and responsibility to be
recognized at each pay level, Civil service both federal and state, uses
this approach predominantly. Some companies strongly prefer Mt,
particularly, but not exclusively, for salaried workers. For the most
part, however, the trend is away from this informal kind of classifica-
tion to ‘ranking’ and ‘point’ plans.”

More recently there has been several major public jurisdictions
that have moved over to the point system of job evaluation or a modi-
fication thereof. Early in the summer Rhode Island announced that %
Planned to overhaul its wage system. A study was ordered by Howard
Kenyon, State Administration Director, whose announced purpose was
adoption for Rhode Island of a “Point System of Evaluation of Wage
Levels.” He stated he wished to use a system now used by most of the
giants of industry, the U.S. Navy and the State of Connecticut,

Buffalo and Westchester,

Connecticut in March, 1952 received a report entitled “Reclas-
sification and Balary Plan, State of Connecticut,” undertaken by
Barrington Associates of New York, This was, in its essence, an
application ef the point system of job evaluation for the State of
Connecticut. ?

Westchester County for years has used a similar system of point
evaluation that was set up by Barrington Associates.

Buffalo adopted the point system about two years ago. The sya-
tem in Buffalo was patterned after the one used by the U.S. Navy
and General Mills Corporation.

No competent observer has ever taken the position that any
system is a panacea, No one has ever said that any is perfect.

‘What is claimed for such systems is that they provide a logical,
uniform way of arriving at wage levels, They are very widely used im
private employment,

Wouldn't it pay the State of New York to investigate such a
aystem?

‘The standard answer given by public personnel technicians whem
asked their opinion of, say, a point system of job evaluation is that
“while other evaluation systems may work all right in private employ~
ment, they won't work in public service.” But this hardly holds much
water now as the number of major public employments using such
systems expands, One comment which was, “Can you imagine trying
to explain the point system to an employee?” This comment shows
clearly the basic lack of comprehension of such systems, because
this is precisely one of the big advantages of such a system —it
ean be understood.

additional credit in examinations

under the new law.

Baving Credit: A candidate ‘is
not required to apply for addi-
tional credits in an examination
and, if he has applied, he may
withdraw his application at any
time prior to the establishment of
the resulting eligible list. Even
after the establishment of an eli-
gible lst, the candidate may elect,
at any time before his permanent
appointment or promotion from
such list, to relinquish his addi-
tional points and accept the low-
er position on the list to Which he
would otherwise be entitied, but
such election, once made, is irre-
vocable.

When Credits Are Deemed Used:
A candidate is deemed to have
been appointed or promoted as a
result of additional credits and
thus, to have exhausted his addi-
tional eredits when he receives a
permanent appointment er pro-
motion from an eligible list on
which his renk is higher because

of additional credits than it would

have been otherwise, even though

he could have been certified and
appointed from the lower position
on the list to which he would have
been entitled if he had relin-

guished his additional credita
Likewise, if a person is dropped at
the end of his probationary term
or resigns at or before the end of
his probationary term, he is not
deemed to have used the addi~
tional credits in his appointment,
However, if a person is appointed

to @ permanent position as @ re
sult of additional credit from @
Ust for a different title which is
deemed an appropriate list for thas

fosition. he will be deemed te
ave exhausted his credits and
may not thereafter use such

credits to obtain an appointment
or promotion from any other Mat
or from the same list to the posi-
tin for which the list was origh-
nally intended.

TOPE ¥

In 1946 the Civil Service Bm~-
ployees Association extended its
Membership eligibility, to em-
Pyees of the political subdivi-
sions of the State. Since then offi-
cial chapters of the Association
have been established in
counties, each chapter
of the employees of the local
units of government located with-
in the county.

The County Division chapters
have made excellent progress in
obtaining improvements in work
conditions. As of the year ending
September 30, 1953, the County
Division was composed of more
than 10,500 employees of local
units of government. During the
current membership year, the
County Division chapters have
sponsored very active membership
campaigns and as a result it
seems certain that the County
Division will enjoy a substantial
increase in membership during
the current year, according to re-

ts received from Association
adquarters.

The membership committees of
the County Division chapters of
CSEA follow. The members of
these committees unselfishly work
to make their local chapters and
the slatewide organization con-
stantly stronger and more effec-
tive for the benefit of their fel-
low employees.
