Member, U. S. Civil Service Commission

Introduction

A. 8,807 is the most far-reach-
ing and the most significant legis-
lative proposal affecting the wel-
a4 of the emptoyees of the fed-
er&l government that has been

laced before the Congress of the

nited States in recent years.

B. The legislation contained in
$807 relating to the executive
branch Is, with the exception of
one minor provision, enthusiasti-
cally endorséd by the United
States Civil Service Commission.

C. We are authorized by Mr.
William H. McReynolds, Admini-
strative Asistant to the President,
and by the Director of the Bureau
of the Buget to state that the
legislation contatned in 5.807
which relates to the executive
branch of the federal government
would be, with the exception of
one minor provision, in accord
with the program of the President
of the United States.

D. We have also been informed
by Dr. George W. Taylor, Chair-
man of the National War Labor
Board, “the proposed increase of
15 per cent for the federal white-
collar workers is entirely consist-
ent with the Little Steel formula

and the national wage stabiliiza-|

tian policy.”

1. This conclusion is lkewise
concurred in by William H. Davis,
Director of the Office of Economic |
Stabilization.

E. Generuuy speaking, those
provisions of $.807 which relate
to the executive branch of the
vernment affect approximately
5,000 positions.

1, 8.807 does not apply to—

(a) Elected officials

<b) Judges.

(c) Heads
dependent

in-
and

of departments,
establishments,

(d) Officers and employees in
the field service of the Post Office
Department,

(e) Employees whose basic
compensation is fixed and ad-
justed from time to time in ac
cordance with prevailing rates by
wage boards or similar adminis-
trative authority serving the same
pugpise,

{f) Employees outside the con-
tinental limits of the United
States, including Alaska, who are
paid in accordance with local na-
tive prevailing wage rates for the
area in which employed.

(g) Officers and employees of
the Inland Waterways Corpora-
tion, employees of the Transpor-
tation Corps of the Army of the
United States on vessels operated
by the United States, and vessel
employees of the Coast and Geo-
detic Survey.

How Much Pay Raise?

A. The Congress should, In our
judgment, grant to the salaried-
federal employees covered by this
bill an increase of 15 per cent in
basic rates of compensation as
provided for in section 306,

1. The Little Steel formula of
the National War Labor Board

provides that appropriate units of |

employees, who have not received
increases in their basic rates
amounting to 15 per cent above
their average straight-time hourly
earnings in January, 1941, may
receive increases up to the 15
pes cent

(a) General speaking, the
wages and salaries of industrial
workers have been increased in
accordance with this formula

(b) Also, skilled and unskilled

Federal workers who are employed |

in government operated navy yards
and arsenals,
rates of pay adjusted upwards in
accordance with this formula,

tc) Also, a second large group of
Federal cmployees — the postal
workers—have been granted a
temporary war-time bonus of $300,
and legislation is now pending be-
fore the Congress which would
increase this to $400 and make
it permanent,

2. By and large, there have been
no ineveases in the basic rates of

compensution for the pos
held by the 1,525,000 employees
covered by this bill since 1930.

3. This situation prevails in
spite of the fact that there has

been an increase, according to the

have had their basic |

President's Cost of Living Com~-
mittee, of at 26 per cent in
the cost of living since 1941. This
Committee also reported that on
top of the 26 per cent “allowance
should be made for a hidden in-
crease in the cost of living.”

4. The present Overtime Pay
Act does not in any way correct
this inequitable situation.

(a) The employees of private
industry and the skilled and un-
skilled employees of the Feders
government Sap for example,

increases in
basic rates of pay and overtime
compensation.

5. The Federal government's
policy in connection with within-
grade salary advancements, trans-
fers and promotions has not
brought about any overall cor-
rection of this inequitable situa-
tion, In fact. in some instances
these policies have simply served
to aggravate matters,

(a) The provision of law that
there must be a waiting period of
18 months when the within-grade
salary advancement is $60 or $100
and a waiting period of 30
months when the within-grade
salary advancement is $200 or
$250 ts far less liberal than the
|formula which has been approved
by the National War Labor Board
for private industry and for em-
working in the Federal
ment’s field establishments,

For example, under one plan
approved by the National War
Labor Board, an employee cov-
ered by this bill and hired for a
CAP-5

|increases totaling $400 in one
year. Under the present provi-
sions of the C fication Ac

however, it will take him
years to advance $400 within that
grade,

Or, if an alternative plan also
approved by the National War
Labor Board were followed, this
ame employee could vi
rom the minimum ($2,000)
the maximum ($2,600) in

two
years instead of the 9 years that
it would take him under the pres-

ent provisions of the Classifica-
tion Act,
Obviously, therefore, _within-

grade salary advancements can
not in any way offset the disparity
| between the pay received by em~
ployees under the Classification
Act of 1923 and the pay received
by industrial workers either in or
out of government,

(b) Nor has the provision in
the Classification Act permitting
within-grade advancements for
meritorious service helped to cor-
rect the existing inequitable situa-
tion, Out of the approximately
1,200,000 employees involved, only
950 received meritorious within-
grade salary advancements in the
|fiscal year 1942; only 1,575 re-
| cetved such advancements in the
fiscal year 1943, and only 808 re-
| ceived such advancements in the
fiscal year 1944.

te)
war transfer program has not
| served in any way to wipe out
these inequities,

From March to the end of
December, 1944, there were ap-
proximately 174,000 transfers ap-
proved by the Civil Service Com-
| mission, Of this number 128,332
| were from positions where salaries
were fixed in accordance with the
Classification Act of 1923 to po-
sitions where salaries were fixed
in accordance with the Classifica-
tion Act of 1923.

Of this 128,332, 95,114—or 74.1
per cont—were transferred at the
same or a lower salary, while only
| 33,218—or 25.9 per cent — were
transferred at a higher salar;

(d) Finally, it seems quite clear
that promotions made by the de-
partments and agencies within
their own establishments have not
had_any appreciable effect on the
overall picture,

For example, in 1942, 71.9 per
cent of the total number of em-
ployees on the Federal payroll re-
ceived less than $2,000 a year. In
1944, per cent received less
than $2,000 a ye

In 1942, 23.6 per cent received
$2,000 or more but less than
$3,800, while in 1944 27.1 per cent

covered by this bill have increased
from January, 1941, to December,
1944, by only 26.9 per cent.

Now, remember, that included
in that figure is 20.3 per cent in-
crease which on the average all
jemployees in‘ this group receive
for working 8 hours a week over-
time. Included, also, is an unde-
termined amount of compensation
| beyond the 20.3 per cent for ee
ing more than 8 hours a week
overtime. So that at the ver
outside within-grade salary ad-
vancements, transfers, and pro-
motions have not accounted for

more than a 5 per cent increase

in the average weekly earnings of |

Federal employees over a priod of
|4 years.

And let's remember again that
workers in private plants and the

skilled and unskilled Federal
workers have, in addition to re-
ceiving an increase in the take

home of 30 per cent—not 20.3
per cent—because of overtime and
in addition to receiving transfers
and promotions, also received in-
creases in basic rates of pay of
15 per cent over the rates paid in
January of 1941.

6. There would seem, therefore,
to be no valid reason for refusing
to grant to the employees covered
by this bill the relief from in-
creases in cost of living provided
for by the Little Steel formula—
& relief which has already been
granted to industrial workers, and
to approximately 50 per cent of
the employees now on the Federal
payroll,

3. Looking at it from the stand-
point of government, as an em-
Ployer, overtime should result in
extra pay at a premium rate as a
device for discouraging overtime,
and, holding it down to a mint-
mum.

Furthermore, in the post-war
period, overtime work schedules
shoulc Le done away with, in both
industry and government, in favor
of. affording more widespread op-
| péttunity for employment.

3. The Federal government, as
an employer, has already recog-
nized the soundness of this policy,
as a permanent proposition, ex-
|cept for those employees covered |
by the provisions of this bill,

(a) In the Postal Service, by
\permanent law, additional com-
pensation is authorized for work |
in excess of eight hours a day
performed by employees in
more numerous occupational
groups. Also, for work on Satur-
Coy permanent law permits many
groups of postal employees to be

4. The provisions of section 102
of this bill are vastly superior to

pire on June 30 of this year,

(a) The present law is tem=
porary.

(b) The so-called provision for
time and one-half pay for over=
time, aH the existing law, is @
misnome! existing law pro-
vides, rg fact, for only time and
one-twelfth pay for overtime work,

5, The present Overtime Pay
bill provides that overtime compu-
tation for salaried workers is to
be limited to that part of a per~
son's salary not in excess of @
rate of $2,900 per annum,

In the case of those Federal
workers who are engaged in
skilled or unskilled work in field
establishments such as navy yards
and arsenals, there is, of course,
no salary ceiling in so far as pay
ment of overtime is concerned.

To the extent possible under the
government’s salary stabilization
policy, we believe the inconsis-
tency in overtime pay computes
tion method for skilled and un=
skilled workers and for salaried
workers should be corrected.

Section 102 sets forth a method
of equalization which is in con=
formity with the salary stabilizas
tion policy.

For employees receiving basi¢
compensation at a rate of less
than $3,800 a year, the overtime
hourly rate would be computed by
dividing the annual rate by 2,080
and multiplying by 1%. For this
group, therefore overtime will be
compensated at true time and
one-half rates. ‘

For employees receiving basic
compensation of $3,800 or mare,
® specific schedule of overtime
rates based on 416 overtime hours
(8 hours a week for 52 weeks) is
provided in the bill, The purpose
of this schedule is to taper off the
overtime rate of true time and
one-half at $3,800 a year, down to
a flat amount of $654 at $6,500
and higher for the 416 overtime
hours.

The government's stabilization
policy in this respect is based on
the recognition that when hours
are extended and some workers
receive additional pay for overs
time they may, unless some pro=

higher levels, receive more total
compensation than employees do»

The non-competitive class of
the NYC Civil Service includes
positions for which the Civil
Service Commission considers
it impracticable to give com-
petitive examinations. Qualify-
ing tests for such positions are
given elther by the Commis-
sion or the depgrtment.

The listing includes such un-
usual positions as: Armorer,
City College, not to exceed $720
per annum; Confidential Food
Inspector in Markets; Curator
at Jumel Mansion, at $1,823 a
year: Sump Tender, $6 @ day.

Top job in the list is Director

Take Holidays Off

A bill, which, if passed, would
establish a law granting paid time-
off to NYC employees for ob-
servance of religious holidays, Is
now in the hands of the City
Council's Finance Committee,

Introduced by Councilman Hart,
the measure provides an amend-
ment to the Administrative Code
which allows the City Council to
specify the days which will be
recognized as religious holidays
Then the Council would notify the
| head of each department of these
days,

Any employee applying for the
day off for religious observances,
must be given the leave. The pro-
posed bill also says that: “Any
Commissioner or head of a City
agency who wilfuly violates any
of the provisions of this section
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
| and, upon conviction thereof, shall
be removed from office.

At present, there ls no way in
which per diem employees may
be paid for religious time. The
new bill specifices that all per
| diem employees absenting them~-
selves on religious holidays “shall
| receive per diem pay for each of

said days.”

Eligible Lists

Different types of eligible lists
for the same positions are a part
of the civil service setup which
confuses many employees. Follow-
ing is an explanation of the “eli-
gible lists" maze:

in filling vacancies the issue
often arises as to which eligible

list must first be certified for fill-| izes

ing the vacancy, There are four
types of lists usually available and
authorized to be established under
the Civil Service Law, from which
appointments may be made. They
are: (1) Lists established after
open competitive examinations;
(2) promotion eligible lists; (3)
preferred lists (or reinstatement
lists); (4) special Ifsts established
pursuant to the Military Law.
of Lists

(D Preferred lists, Section 31
of the Civil Service Law provides |
that persons on a preferred (re-
instatement) list shall be certified
for reappointment before resort is
had to any other eligible list for
filling vacancies;

(2) Promotion lists. Section 16
of the Civil Service La‘; provides |
that vacancies must be filled by
promotion wherever practicable;

(3) Open competitive lists, In
the absence of a preferred list or
4 promotion eligible list, resort
may be had to open competitive
lists for filling vacancies.

A Post War Problem

With the termination of war,
the civil service commissions will
be confronted with the problem
of certifying from special eligible
lists, both promotion and open
competitive, established under the
Military Law for those who had
been reached for appointment
and had been passed over while
they were in military service. Such
lists will have to be certified for

What NYC Employees Should Know

appointment before resort may be
had to any eligible list thereafter
established.

Ordinarily eligible lists are es-
tablished for filling a specific posi-
tion, and the title of the eligible
list usually conforms with the title
of the position to be filled. How-
ever, the Civil Service Law author-
the commission in filling va-
cancies to certify names from the
most nearly appropriate eligible
list. The commission may, there-
fore, in the absence of an eligible
list created for the specific posi-
tion, certify another list which in
its discretion is believed to be an
appropriate list,

“Appropriate” Lists

An appropriate list is one where
the general qualifications sought
to be tested in the examination
are sufficiently similar or equiva-
lent to the requirements for filling
the position under consideration,
For example, the commission may,
in the absence of an eligible list
for a position of a general clerical
nature, certify the existing list for
bookkeeper, statistical clerk or
file clerk, whichever list the com-
mission believes most appropriate,

Occasionally the commissicn
finds it destrable under certain
circumstances to hold both a pro-
motion and an open competitive
examination for the same class of
position, Where this practice is
followed the promotion list takes
Precedence over the open com-
petitive list even though the pro-
motion and open competitive ex-
aminations were identical. The
circumstances under which both
promotion and open competitive
tests may be concurrently held
are extremely limited, and the
practice should be applied with
caution.

Wide Effects on NYC Employees Foreseen

Last week's revolt of the Bor-
ough Presidents and Comptroller
McGoldrick against Mayor La-
Guardia’s budget has important
aspects to every New York City
employee.

For the past twelve years, new
Appointments to fill vacancies in
the Borough offices and promo-
tions, required the approval of
the Budget Director—in effect a
Mayoral O.K. But last week's
action of the Board restores au-
tonomy to the Borough Presi-
dents in their personnel matters,
gives them the right to fill their
vacancies; make promotions;
grant step-up increases to their

employees without ayes to get
permission of City Hall.
Despite of some daily
te that it tmcreases the pa-
age powers of the Borough
Presidents, it was pointed out by
the office of President Nathan f
Manhattan that the changed set~
up merely gives the Presidents
“more freedom to grant their
Civil service employees the fullest
benefits of civil service law.” For
instance, it will now be possible
for a Borough President to make
promotions which invo ve actual
cash benefits to employees in-
stead of following the administra-
tion's policy of limiting promo-
tions to employees who only re-

werne liberal bonus granted to
members of the Bo.rd of dduce-
tion staff resulted in quick re-
sentment among the general City
employees who find the teachers
recelying a bonus jump from $240
to $350 and the “ceiling” for the

Upper-bracket City employees
find their status changed by a
resolution, adopted by the Board,
to eliminate the provision that

Win for Tales

Employees of the NYC Depart-

prize of $50 or $100 by telling
the best story; even it is isn’t
exactly a fact.

A committee representing the
Joint Board of Sanitat.on Locals,
A. P. of L., have presented a very
unique offer. They are offering

which occurred to them, or they

The interpretation gathered
from the committee as to what
they consider a “tall” story is
one which describe the incident

experience he writes about in
such descriptive and embellished
fashion as to render it almost
unbelievable, in brief, a paradox

A procedure for reinstating
firemen who return from the wars
has been set up by Fire Com-
missioner Patrick Walsh. Basis
of the plan, says the Commission-
er, Is that “every reasonable ef-
|fort will be made to give our

work for which they are so emi-

nently entitled, and there will be
set up in this department a spe-
cial bureau composed of veterans
of this war who have come back
to the department, to handle this
work.”

returned servicemen the type ofment indicates that all returned

men will be reinstated, on some

William J. Reid, candidate for
the presidency in 1943, has an-

present vice-president, who was
recently brought back from de-
partmental exile in State Island
for breaking the “gag rule" order

Fireman Gerard W. Purcell is

As “prime objectives to be

Jof the Council bill to increase
the punishments for depart-
imental violation from 10 to 45

days’ suspension. In a friendly
manner, both groups suggested he
gail the highly-unpopular
bill,

The “Wives” suggested, instead,
legislation to provide that cause
for dismissal in the department
should be limited to:

1, Conviction of criminal of-
fense.

2, Gross culpable negligence,

3, Willful incapacity.

“The passage of such a bill
would,” they said, “afford some
measure of security . . . would
provide the necessary safeguard
against repetition in the future
of such dastartdly action as seen
in the dismissal of fourteen fire-
men.”

The new Uniformed #ire Off-

mobilize its strength against the
bill, In a circular letter to all

Out Pay Problem

The five-cent an hour increase
granted to NYC transit workers
by Mayor LaGuardia in the 1945-
46 budget is more complicated
than just adding five cents an
hour to each employee's earnings.

A meeting has been scheduled
for this week between members
of the Board of Transportation
and representatives of Transport
Workers Union to try and wor’:
out ways to apply the five-cent
formula,

job which they can handle if
they are no longer capable of tak-
ing on the full fire duty. Said
Walsh: “All men on military
leave will naturally be given the
work for which they are physical-
ly qualified. But those who have
been injured in line of duty will
receive assignments in which they
can function efficiently. There
is ample work of this kind avail-
able.” The Office of Adminis-
tration has been commissioned to
make a study so that ample jobs
will be available.
Eligibles
Another significant statement

by Walsh was to the effect that
those men who were passed over
for appointment because of their
selective status, or becauce they
were in the armed forces, will re-
ceive the same treatment as those
on military leave. This will be
interesting news to the men now
engaged in the famous "3-A"
case—men who were passed over
for appointment because they
were in 3-A draft classification
when their names came up, and
who subsequently went to court
in an attempt to win the appoint-
ment.

Men who are reinstated, ac-
cording to the order which is be-
ing sent to every Fireman in the
service, will be employed in a
rank or grade no lower than that
held when they left to enter
military service.

We Analyze an Editorial
In Another Newspaper

HE CIVIL SERVICE LEADER has been honored by
I an editorial, a full column in length, in the Bingham-
ton (N. Y.) Sun. “It’s a good newspaper, "says the
Sun, for which kind words we say Thanks. But the next
elause gives the gist of the Sun’s view. “It’s a news-
per, from the viewpoint of anyone on the public payroll.”
The Sun has a gentle prejudice against people on the public
payroll. LEADER headlines are quoted to show that pub-
lic employees have the “‘gimmees”.
tate Board Gives New Salary to 68 Positions.”
“Your Post-War Job Safer Than You Think.”
“Chances of U. 8S. Pay Raise Measure Depend on How
Good a Case Is Made Out.”
“You Can Belong to the Armed Forces One Day a
Week.”
“If You're Fired, You Get Paid, Says New Bill for

U.S. Employees. é ;
The Sun feels that public employees are making a main
assault upon the solyency of the United States, But when

you look more closely, what do you find? Let’s take those
headlines:

The State Salary Standardization Board provided new
salary schedules for 68 positions, but only after extended
hearings had shown that the salaries previously being paid
were out of line in terms of the jobs performed, and in
terms of salaries paid for similar work elsewhere, In
many cases, the salaries were below subsistence levels, as
the Binghampton Sun can discover by making the rounds
of one or two mental hygiene institutions in its area,

‘What means more to any human being than the se-
curity of his job? So, when the news came out that re-
signations, transfers, and change of duties might make
unnecessary mass firings among Federal employees, we
considered that big news. We ran it under the headline
“Your Post-War Job Is Safer Than You Think.”

“Chances of U.S, Pay Raise Measure Depend on How
Good a Case Is Made Out.” Well, surely, the editor of
the Binghampton Sun doesn’t advocate that Federal em-
ployees should not make out the best case they can.
Incidentally, they haven't gotten a pay raise since the war
began, and have to work a 48-hour week at a lower rate
of overtime pay than private employees earn, The Sun
doesn’t mention these things.

And the other headline; “You Can Belong to Armed
Forces One Day a Week,” referred to a bill passed by
both houses of the State Legislature and signed by Govy-
ernor Dewey, permitting public employees to go on duty
as temporary Coast Guard reservists, one day a week, and
thus relieve regular Coast Guardsmen for duty abroad.
Is that bad?

“If You're Fired, You Get Paid, Says New Bill for U.
§S. Employees.” This relates the story of a bill which
would give to Federal workers unemployment insurance
if their jobs fold up, a protection which all industrial
workers now possess, and which is accepted—for non-
governmental emplovees—as a fundamental necessity.
If anybody needs such protection, Federal employees do,
for they have nothing to look forward to when their jobs
are finished, no security, no future.

It looks to us that the Binghampton Sun, while saying
nice things about us as a newspaper, nevertheless has a
deep and unhealthy prejudice against public employees.
It’s a bias completely unfounded in facts, as comes out in
the statement about Federal employees: “. . . they [are]
holding down positions of questionable importance—:
Jeast in thousands upon thousands of instances
We've heard that one before.
the proof.

Final note to the editor of the Binghampton Sun: It
used to be considered quite the thing to make whipping-
boys out of public employees. It’s passe now, So, won't
you please look at the case of the public employees before
writing such an editorial again?

Rudolph Halley

MERIT MAN Rudolph Halley,
fearless Chief Counsel of the
Mead Committee to investigate
the National Defense Program,
and formerly Executive Assistant
to Bugh Fulton when the Com-
mittee was headed by Harry
Truman, has made a brilliant rec-
ord in Washington. This young
attorney has worked for all three
branches of the Federal Govern-
ment, judicial, executive and
legislative; and he has investi-
gated, in one way or another, al-
most every agency of the United
States, as well as some of the
country’s biggest industries. -

Halley first came to Washing-
ton as liaison between the Depart-
ment of Justice and the Truman
Committee in March of 1942. He
was attached to the Small Busi-
ness Section of the Anti-Trust
Division during this time. In
June, 1942, he left the Depart-
ment of Justice to become Execu-
tive Assistant to the Chief Coun-
sel of the Committee, a position
he retained until August, 1944,
when, on the resignation of Hugh
Pulton, he became Chief Counsel
of the Committee.

On the committee he was in
charge of many of the field in-
vestigations which resulted in its
acquiring its reputation for fear-
less investigation. He headed in-
vestigators in Pittsburgh who dis-
covered and proved that the Car-
negie Iilinois Steel Corporation
was furnishing steel to the Navy
and to shipbuilding companies
under false specifications.

He and his crew of investigators
went to Cincinnati and proves
that the Curtiss Wright Aircraft
Company's subsidiary, the Wright
Aeronautical Corporation, was
making defective airplane en-
gines and getting them past Army
inspection, The story was, of
course, one of the great news
pieces of the land and ran under
page one scare-heads in every
daily,

Vigorous Probes Continue

As Chief Counsel of the Com-
mittee, Halley has attemptec to
continue “its policy of vigorous
investigations no matter where
they may lead. The committee's
report on the Accumulation of
Surpluses (issued several months
ago) analyzing wasteful practices
of the armed forces, was charac-
terized by editorial writers as a
devastating expose. Lately, the
committee has concentrated on
surplus property disposal, includ-
ing investigations of the practices
of Waxy Gordon in this field, in-
vestigations of manpower, of hous-
ing, and of war material produc-
tion,

Committe inyestigations have
taken Halley to every state of the
Union, to Alaska, and as far out
on the Aleutians as Attu and
Kiska, which he visited with a
subcommittee just a few weeks
after the Japs left Kiska, He has
visited hundreds of war plants in
every state of the Union, has
studied and analyzed such diverse
Problems as steel, rubber, mica,
manpower,

He believes firmly in President
Tuman’s adage as Chairman of
the Committee—"Get all the
facts, and they will speak for
themselves. Reasofiable men will
not often differ on the solution of
&@ problem, once they have agreed
on the facts.”

Vital Statistics

He was born June 19, 1913, in
Harrison, New York, but lived in
New York City since he was one

‘THE RAISING of the minimum salary to $1,200 In the perma-
nent Feld-Hamilton Law has raised many questions on the part of
employees in the next higher grades. In the minds of employees
with long service, the matter of dealing with future promotions
looms large.

The Report of the Joint Legislative Committee of 1932 (Legis-
Jative Document 55) pointed out clearly the chaotic conditions rela-
tive to compensation which then existed. The shows 106
stenographers receiving $648 per annum and a considerable number
of positions with salaries from $540 to $840 per year. This disgrace-
ful condition as to pay for State workers gave way to the Junior
Grade in the Clerical Service with a range of $900 to $1,400 In 1938.
‘Together with this minimum grade went the classification of posi-
tions and the beginning of orderly recruitment and promotion. When
the Feld-Hamilton services and grades were first established, the
incumbent attained to the minimum or the maximum of his grade,
if he were below such, only by yearly increments. Thus it took many
years for some employees to attain the minimum of their salary
grade. ge ities °

TODAY, with all appointments being made at the minimum of
the grades, and with the higher minimum established in the several
grades where it was below $1,200, we have the situation as to those
long employed of the person coming in at the eleventh hour, so to
speak, receiving the same as one longer employed in the title. Cer-
taily we cannot complain because the State of New York is taking
@ more enlightened view of State employment conditions and has
seen fit to raise the minimum to $1,200. We would like to see this
minimum at an even higher figure. The cost of living and the high
tax rate so reduce the income of workers that maintenance of sound
health and social status is a constant worry and often an impossi-
bility in the case of those receiving the minimum or even the
maximum of some of the present salaries, Certainly, every employee
will welcome the betterment of pay of fellow workers even though
it does bring them to a salary status which it took some long years
to attain. We are living in an age when the importance of the
worker is coming to be more and more appreciated and attention
more and more directed to what constitutes fair living standards,
‘This is a trend which this Association did much to create and which
it must do even more to extend. .
IT IS REASONABLE to expect that in the matter of promotion
examinations, action will be taken to recognize the ability and ex-
perience of the worker by credit for seniority and for efficiency
ratings. Employees who have worked through the junior grade and
have been promoted to the next higher grade and have worked in
that grade for some time, should be much better qualified than
others who have but recently entered the service. Written exam!-
nations will not always disclose this difference which is, nevertheless,
often very tangible, and seniority would seem to be the best means
of evaluating the valuable experience gained.

It is true that as time has progressed since 1938 when the Peld-
Hamilton was first established in departmental service, the breadth
of differentiation between the duties and responsibilities of junior
and assistant positions has narrowed and the merging of these two
grades called for action by the Civil Service Commission.
Progress

WORD from many Chapters indicates that as the classification
and allocation work thus far completed is applied, general satis-
faction is expressed by employees. This is not apparent at the
institutions where the Classification Board has not as yet appeared
to hear the appeals of employees or to survey conditions at first
hand. Tt is doubtless apparent to the Classification Board that many
institutions have special problems and also that no service or agency
is completely static. There are some cases where employees do not
feel that their duties were properly evaluated. They will have oppor-
tunity for reappeal to the Civil Service Commission. In other cases,
the general problem has not been finally decided by the Board

New Boards

THE ASSOCIATION will make recommendations to the Gov-
ernor as to the personnel of the Permanent Salary Standardization
Board, the Personnel Board and other agencies having to do with
personnel administration. To this end, special conferences have
been held. The sponsorship by the Assocation of the new boards
and the fine cooperation of the administration in approving them,
indicates that the Governor will welcome constructive suggestions
‘as to the members of the boards and as to the future activities
relating to State employment, The importance of the Classification
Board, the Salary Standardization Board and of the Personnel Board,
as well as the functioning of the various State agencies having to
do with personnel, is @ constant concern of Association officers and
committees. On th: practical application of the principles enun-

New State Law Protects Pension Rights
When Maintenance Value Is Reduced

ALBANY—One of the important civil service measures enacted
into law by Governor Dewey's signature is the Hatfield bill (Assembly
Int, 888). The bill was drafted by the Association of State Civil

Service Employees.

‘The new Inw serves an essential
purpose in protecting the retire-
ment rights of employees in State
institutions who were adversely
affected in their pension rights,
when a reduction in the value of
their maintenance accompanied
the extension of Feld-Hamilton
to the institutional service.

The Background

Prior to October 1, 1943, the
value of maintenance for retire-
ment purposes was fixed at one-
half the cash se‘ary received by
the employee in_ accordance with
a ruling of the Comptroller which
had been in effect since 1925. The
employees paid both Federal and
State taxes on this basis in ac-
cordance with rulings of the State
‘Tax Department. Under the sys-
tem which prevailed before Octo-
ber 1, 1943, if an employee re-
ceived a cash salary of $2,000, his
maintenance was figured at $1,-
000, making a total gross salary
of $3,000 on which retirement con-
tributions as well as income taxes

October I, 1943, and maintenance
is now fixed at varying values as

determined by the Director of
the Budget in accordance with
Civil Service law, Section 42. In
many cases, the new value is sub-
stantially the same as the old,
but in some cases the ne / value
is considerably less tha 1 the pre-
vious value. In such cases, the
employees’ pension rights might
have been adversely affected by
the reduction in gross salary.
Employees Protected

The new law protects those em-
ployees who were harmed by the
changeover to the new system,
It permits them to continue their
pension contributions at the rate
established by the Comptroller
before October 1, 1943, and to
use the gross salary then estab-
lished as the basis for pension
contributions. A change in the
law was essential to prevent these
employees from being prejudiced
by the new means of computing
maintenance.

In urging the Governor's ap-
proval of the bill, the State As-
sociation pointed out that there
was ample precedent fo. afford-
ing the employees this relief. In
1996, provisions of the Civil Serv-

ice Law provided that employees
who received sclary reductions
should have the right to continue
pension contributions at their
former rate.

it Pending

In addition, a law suit is pend-
ing in the Supreme Court, to
compel the Retirement System to
accept contributions on the basis

of gross salary before October 1.
| 1943. ‘The provisions of the bill
| would accomplish the same ob-

jective as the Court proceedings,
and moreover, permit a more
expeditious handling of the prob-
lem than would be possible if the
matter were settled through litiga-
tion. If the law suit should be
decided in favor of the employees
involved, the State would be
obliged to revise pension payments
for all employees in this category,
even though the differerce might
be trifling m many cases, Under
the terms of the law, contribu-
tions are changed only where the
employees elect to make the addi-
| tional pension payments.

Thus, the new law simplifies
the administrative problems of
the retirement system and its
adoption is an act of fairness to
the affected employees without
imposing any undue adminis~
| tative or financial burden on the

retirement system.

Insub-

Incompetency or

ordination?

If your appointing officer should
charge you with incompetency but
specify instances of misconduct
and should find you guilty of such
acts of misconduct, you cannot
avoid the consequences of the
punishment meted out on the
grounds that you were improperly
charged with incompetency, This
is the conclusion to be drawn
from a recent court case decided
by the Supreme Court of New
York County,

Specified Acts of Insubordination

In this case an employee was
found guilty of repeated instances
of insubordinaticn of which he
had been accused although the
charge against him had been
characterized by the appointing
officer as incompetency, In sus-
taining the punishment, the Court
| pointed out that although the ap-
pointing officer's affidavit in the
case did contain a statement that
he was convinced the employee
was not competent, the record of
the hearing clearly establishes

| finding that the employee was
guilty of the four specific charges
of insubordination made against
| him.
The Court's Conclusion

The Court concluded that “the
mere circumstances that petition-
er’s conduct may have been char-
acterized as incompetence rather
than as insubordirstion is imma-

petitioner (employee) was found
guilty justified his dismissal re-

Career Plan
For NYC
Health Nurses

‘The New York City Health De-
partment has completed its plans
to build the department's Public
Health Nursing service into a
career for women in the field of
nursing. As soon as the employees
of the department now in military
service return, the plan will be
established,

One sore point in the depart-
ment has been the fact that top-
ranking positions usually had to
be filled from the outside because
of the lack of any regular means
of advancement for nurses in the
department,

However, the Municipal Civil
Service Commission has recently
set up a new classification of the
Public Health Nursing Service as
follows

Bre vbe pies $1000 pal: 97.44 bis Health Nurses, $1,500 to

Pihorede on Assistant Supervising Public

Mepatrmant Health Nurse, $2,401 to $2.700,

Office Apptinice ‘Revutenan, sieeo-| SUpervising  Fublie Health
es . Nurse, $2,701 to $3,500,

Ratio Repairman, $1.10 ph, (The title of Consultant Public

Health Nurse, $3,001. to $3,500,
will be added to this classifi-
cation later.)

Assistant Director Public Health

Nursing, $3,500 to $4,500.

Director of Public

Nursing, $4,500 or over.

At present there are 899 public
health nurses on the rolls of the
department, Future plans call for
the expansion of this force to
meet anticipated post-war needs.
Then there will be 62 assistant
supervisors In the table of organi-
zation, 31 supervisors, 2 assistant
directors and 1 director.

ing more difficult or responsible
work.

‘The overtime provisions of
B07, if enacted into law, ‘would
Provide the government with a

permanent overtime it

which would be fair to the
employee and the ent,
and which would, at the same

» keep government in line
with {ts own wage stabilization
policy, We urge favorable con-
sideration of this section.

Night Pay Differential

C. We believe that the provi-
sions for a night pay differential
‘as set forth in section 104 of this
bill should be enacted into law.

1. The objectives of providing a
night differential are to compen-
sate employees for working at un-
desirable hours, and for the dis-
Jocation and disruption of their
lives which results from such

work.

2, The validity of these reasons
hhas been recognized by the Fed-
eral government by making it pos-
sible for the following groups to
receive a night pay differenti:

(a) Per hour and per annum
employees of the Government

~ Printing Office.

(b) Plate printers, craftsmen
and clerical mechanical employ-
ees of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing.

(ce) Employees of the Postal
Service, including all custodial
employees except those charmen
and charwomen working part
time

(d) Per diem employees in the
field service of the Navy Depart-
ment, except master mechanics,
foremen and other employees in
charge appointed by the Secre-
tary of the Navy.

(0) Certain field employees of
the War Department who are sub-

it to the jurisdiction of wage

rds, whenever the payment of
such a differential is a part of
the prevailing wage structure.

2. Provisions for night differen -
tial pay for industrial workers on
regular night shifts are very com-
mon.

4. This bill would apply to the
Federal service generally the pro-
visions now applicable to the
Postal Service, namely, that per-
sons working between the hours
of 6 pm. and 6 am. shall, for
work performed between such
hours, be paid a differential of
10 per cent,

Holiday Pay

D. We believe that, following
the war, employees who are called
upon to work on @ holiday should
be compensated at time and one-
half rates as provided for in sec-
tion 105 of the proposed bill.

1, In private industries having
war contracts, Executive Order
9240 of September 9, 1942, states
that work on 6 of the 8 usual na-
tional holidays shall be compen-
sated at time and one-half rates.

2. Our recommendation for
premium pay for holiday work is
based on conformance with in-
dustrial practice and on the de-

psirability of paying a Federal em-
ployee more for a holiday on
which he is required to work than
he would be paid for such a holi-
day when he is excused from
working because of the occurrence
of the holiday.

Types of Jobs

E, We believe that the Civil
Service Commission should have
the right to recognize the exist~
ence of separate types of jobs
within the various grades of the
Classification Act, and then where
the nature of the work justifies
such action to authorize depart-
ments and agencies to hire per-
sons at a rate of pay higher than
the minimum of the grade, Sec-
tion 302 of the proposed bill grants
such authority,

1, If this section 1s approved,
the Civil Service Commission
might, for example, recognize
Stenographers as a separate class
within grade CAP-3, We might at
the same time decide that the du-
ties of stenographers, as com~-
pared with other types of positions
within grade CAF-3, are sufli-
clently more difficult to justify an
entrance rate of pay of $1,740 a
year instead of the minimum rate
of $1,620,

Or taking, for example, the
higher brackets, we might recog~
nize the existence of a separate
class within grade CAF-12, the

entrance rate for which Is $4,000,
And specify that the duties ‘and
jes of class are

sponsibilities of other classes in
CAF-12 to justify an entrance
rate of $5,000,

2. The passage of this section
would introduce into the Classi-
fication Act a flexibility which

enable the mission and the
departments and agencies to op-
erate in a much more realistic

Within Grade

Advancement

F. We believe that the waiting
period for within grade salary ad-
vancements should be reduced
from 30 and 18 months to 18 and
12 months as provided for in sec-
tion 303 of the proposed bill.

1, We have already pointed out
the disparity which exists between
practices approved by the National
War Labor Board for industry and
the provisions of existing law,

2. Within-grade salary ad-
vancements are supposed to be

& recognition for good work in a| 1)

particular job. Such recognition
should take place much more fre-
quently than is provided for by
present law. Failure to grant such
recognition within a reasonable
period of time always results in
unusual pressures being exerted
to bring about reallocations of po-
sitions, The Federal pay structure
could be administered in a much
more effective and efficient man-
ner if this provision were enacted
into law,

Extra Rewards

G. We believe that definite pro-
vision should be made by the
Congress for rewarding superior
accomplishment as provided for
in sections 304 and 305.

1, Stated simply, if these seo-
tions were enacted into law, de-
partments and agencies would be
able to grant one additional with-
in-grade salary advancement
within each waiting period, as-
suming that the accomplishment
upon the part of the employee
measured up to standards pro-
mulgated by the Civil Service
Commission.

‘A program of this kind properly
administered will pay for itself
many times over in terms of im-
proved efficiency in the Federal
service.

Special Provisions

H. In so far as the general pro-
visions of Title IV are concerned,
we desire to call attention to just

two sections, 403 providing for an

|increase in basic rates for cus-
toms clerks and section 405 re-
lating to the suspension of the
Saturday half holiday law.

1, Section 403 is designed to
provide a basic pay increase of 15
per cent for customs clerks whose
base pay rates, $1,700 to $2,100 a
year, are now established by the
classes of customs employees, all
Bacharach Act of May 29, 1928,
This law formerly covered other
classes of customs employees, all
of whom, except customs clerks,
have now been brought under the
Clasification Act pay scales by
legislation.

‘We can not recommend section
403 as desirable legislation. We
believe it preferable to bring cus-
toms clerks within the purview of
| the Classification Act, If this 1s
|done, they would then immedi
| ately become subject to the pri
visions of this bill relating to 1
creases in basic rates of compen-
sation and to overtime pay.

40-Hour Week

2. As a substitute for section
405, we recommend the following:

SEC, 405 (a)—It shall be the
duty of the heads of the several
executive departments, independ-
ent establishments and agencies,
including government-owned or
government-controlled — corpora-
tions, and the municipal govern-
ment of the District of Columbia,
to require of all full-time em-
ployees in their respective organi-
zations in the departmental and
the field services, a basic admin-
istrative workweek of 40 hours
within gny one period of seven
consecutive calendar days: Pro-
vided, That such heads may, with
the approval of the President, es-
tablish a basic administrative
workweek of less than 40 hours,
whenever the President finds in
the particular situation, that such
shorter basic administrative work~
hes is necessary in the interests
bey,

ah full nt
the

does not exist at the it time
and which, if introduced, ‘would | of

manner than at the present time. | wo:

pursuant to law shall be regarded
employment dur-
lc administrative

time or basic pay for services ren-
dered are established:

@) A monthly rate shall be
multiplied by 12 to derive an an-
nual rate;

(2) An annual rate shall be di-

vided into twenty-six equal in-
stallments, one of which shall be
the rate for each pay period,
which shall consist of two basic
administrative work-weeks estab-
lished under Section 405(a) of
is Act;
(3) In making payments for a

months of age and not yet 23 may

ment as cadet-midshipman. The
minimum requisite for admission
to the examination is 15 high

high school credits.

Peta according to the popula-

2 PARK AVENUE is still having
its difficulty with administrative-
personnel problems, according to
reports reaching this reporter.
This time it's the Readjustment
Allowance Subdivision, headed by
Chief Herbert A. Hutson, said to
be a personal pal of the General,
Prank T. Hines, . . . Pettiness
and child-tactics practiced by
Chiefs, Assistants, and those per-
sons in a supervisory capacity is
beyond everything previously re-

rted by this column since its
inception, employees tell us... .
Persons leaving their desk are
timed and it is noted how many
times they leave. Employees
are censured for errors without
the person in charge checking to
see if any instruction had been
given on those phases of the
work—the persons in charge seem
to forget that if the employee
hasn't learned it's because maybe
the supervisor hasn't taught, . . .
gossiping and rumor-mongering
are prevalent.

IS THIS the way that the vet-
erans' administration expects to
continue serving those who made
sacrifices? If staff and adminis-
tration can't get along and these
tactics persist, then there's some-
things wrong and a Congressional
probe is in order... . The matter
of service to the ex-servicemen
and women of past wars and this
one should be handled in an ef-
ficient competent manner and not
subjected to the low ebb that re-
quired various columnists to write
“searing items of expose” . . .

THE ERS and phone calls
that this columnist has received
since he first started this column
in 1942 when the New York
Branch Office of Central Office
came to New York City have
served for a basis of many of the
items that have found their way
into this column. . . . More than
once, in interviews with Manager
Charles Reichert, at 346 Broad-
way, this reporter has suggested
solutions to stop these tactics.
This column believes that Mr.
Reichert would sincerely like to
do something about the trouble
in his agency, but he's caught up
in @ sluggishness which originates
in ton, . . , The fact
that Manager Reichert admits
that there is much to be done to
rectify conditions and the in-
siituting of the Employees Rela-
tions Unit was a step in the right
direction, , . . it is suggested
that this step be taken by all of
the divisions of the Veterans’ Ad-
minis! thin New York
employee-

be heard, . . . But all this is
only the beginning, the Chiefs
and Assistants, as well as those
in supervisory capacity through-
out Veterans’ Administration,
should be instructed in the proper
fulfillment of their duties and
then reassigned if they fail to fit
the bill due to temperament or
some other difficulty, ... .
ee

THIS PAST WEEK found this
reporter at several of the dis-
charge-rehabiliation centers where
V. A, Representatives have been
assigned, It would all have been
grand if , . . if some of those
V. A. Representatives knew just
what they were there for and
what their duties were. . . . In
interviewing several of them, with-
out them knowing who this re-
Porter was, It was apparent many
of them required more instruc-
tion on their duties and how to
handle problems of the average
veteran tactfully... .

War Dept. Allows Men
To Take Civilian
Jobs When on Leave

The War Department is encour-

leave, pass or furlough, to employ
free time in essential war indus~
tries or agricultural pursuits. Com-
manding officers have been au-
thorized to permit such work, but
passes or furloughs will not be
granted simply because a man
may want to take such a job,

encourages nor authorizes employ-
ment at such times which renders
direct personal service to the gen-
eral public, such as operation of
streetcars or busses, employment
as salesmen or store clerks, or as

Trainee War Jobs and
Spots for Skilled Workers

The San Francisco Conference is making plans for a world at
peace, but peace itself will be made by G.I. Joe and the war workers
on the Home Front who are turning out the weapons and supplies
that G.I, Joe must have to beat the enemy. Statesmen and diplomats
will chart the peace, but their plans can become fully effective only
when the last shot is fired and the enemy can no longer fight back.
To finish the war quickly, thousands of additional war workers,
men and women, skilled and unskilled, are needed immediately,
Everyone able to work can be used. And the more people take up war
work, the sooner will the war be over. So if you want an early peace
have a conference with the United
States Employment Service. They can tell you how and where you
ean help, Call CHickering 4-8800 for the address of the nearest office,

and are willing to work for it,

Gen. Hines Proposes 3 Hours Extra
Each Day for Vet Agency Employees

WASHINGTON—Assuring veterans their full rights—in and out

of Government—ls occupying increasing official attention here, with
strong support for the proposal that Veterans Administration be
given cabinet status and converted into a Department of Veterans,

Two major problems are cur-
rently worrying the officials. One
is the backlog of veterans claims
in the Veterans Administration,
piled up through lack of adequate
staff, The other is trouble pre-
dicted by personnel officers in
restoration of veterans to their
old jobs unless Civil Service Com-
mission spells out regulations
more clearly,

Three Hours Extra Work

Veterans Administrator Frank
T. Hines has conferred with
President Truman and has pro-
eee that the agency be allowed
30 work its employees three hours
more each day to catch up with
work, The extra work would be
on a voluntary basis. The agency
is already on a 48-hour week.

General Hines hopes to get
volunteers from other Federal
agencies who would like to earn
aditional overtime pay after their
regular jobs, This extra pay
might also be partial answer to
the strongly documented charge
that Veterans Administration
employees are underpaid,

General Hines also discussed
with the President the shortage
of nurses for which strong re-
cruitment plans are now under

way. Indicative of the staffing
problem in VA, the agency now
sends dictation to New York for
transcription, This is one factor

erans’ claims,

quired to give him a better job?
What of the veteran who comes
back incapacitated for his old
job? What happens when more
than one yeteran seeks one job
for which, theoretically, only one
has re-employment rights?
Civil Service officials see little
difficulty in the cases cited by

if an agency properly releases an
employee for military duty and
takes correct steps to re-accept
him, no difficulty need arise.
