It should be noted t h a t military service which is temporary, intermittent, and gratuitous, with any reserve or auxiliary force, is not considered "military dutv." Military duty, under t h e ' l a w , covers the time you spend reporting for a n d returning f r o m military service and is deemed to begin when you leave your position and to end when you are reinstated to your positions, provided such reinstateirvont takes place within the prescribed sixty-day period. T h e date of the termination of your military duty is the date of your certificate of honorable discharge.

T h e right of reinstatement is granted to you under the provisions of Section 246 of the New York S t a t e Military Law, known as the Page-Ostertag Law, which was enacted in 1941 to protect the rights of public employees e n gaged in military duty and of persons on eligible lists who engage in military duty. President Clifford C. Shoro has issued a call to the Executive Committee of the Association of State Civil Service Employees to meet in special session on Wednesday evening, August 23rd, at Albany, to discuss and take action relative to proposals of the Director of the Budget, John E. Burton, for changes in the Feld-Hamilton law* President Shoro stated that a preliminary canvas of sentiment of employees toward changes in the career service law indicated unanimous opposition to any weakening of the definite provisions as to classification and salary allocation features and salary grade and increment provisions of the present law. The form of action to be taken by the Association to safeguard the interests of over forty thousand State civil service employees will be decided at the special meeting.

What 1* meant by the term ••governmental e n t i t y " ? This term means an executive department, a bureuu of an executive department, a parent organization a constituent agency, an independent establishment, an entire field installation, an entire regional offiee, an entire field station, a department of the municipal government of the District of Columbia or any other such organization or separate governmental agency of the Federal Government created by act of Congress or Executive order. IX. What Is meant by the term "itren of competition"? When it is determined that a reduction in force must be effected, it is the duty of the department to establish the organizational area (for example, an entire department, or a bureau of a department) within which the reduction-in-force procedure is to operate. T h i s area is known as the "area of competition" for reductlon-ln-force purposes. 12. Wonld employee* of one department he in competition with employee* of another department If a reduction in force were made in either department? No. The area or competition would be restricted to the department in which the redncMon waa being made. 13. Would employees of t w o different sections of a bureau be In competition? Ye* in most instances. Unless prior Commission approval is given for the u s e of a smaller area, ai» entire bureau ia required to be the area of competition. Approval for the use of a smaller area will be given only if the area is large enough ( 1 ) to prevent the loss of highly e f f i c i e n t employees. ( 2 ) to allow true competition to exist, and ( 3 ) to permit the retention of permanent employees and employees entitled to veteran preference. 14. I* veteran preference a factor in reduction in force? Yes. In any competitive group, employees with veteran preference whose efficiency ratings are "Good" or better are retained in preference to employees without veteran preference. If their ratings are below "Good." they h a v e preference over nonveterans , with equal or lower efficiency ratings. 15. I)o the new regulations a f f e c t the employment rights of persons in the armed forces? No. 16. What protection is given to permanent employee* in a retrtiction In force? Permanent employees are retained in preference to other types of appointment. 17. Is any protection given to an employee with a classified (competitive) civilservice status w h o has a war-service appointment and lias not completed the trial period? Ye*. For reduction-in-force purposes, he is considered to be in the career group — with permanent employees. However, he may be dismissed during the trial period if his work is not fully satisfactory. 18. Is length of service (seniority) a factor in reduction in force? Yes. It is one of the major factors. 10. Is seniority computed on the basis of an employee's total Federal service or on the basis of his service in his present position? On the basis of his total Federal service. 'JO. What weight Is given to efficiency ratings in reduction in force? An employee with a rating of "Very Good"' h a s an advantage over a "Good" employee equal to 8 years of seniority. An " E x c e l l e n t ' employee h a s an advantage over a "Good'' employee equal to 10 years of seniority. 21. Can a special efficiency rating be made for reduction-in-force purposes? Yes, in the absence of a current efficiency rating. However, a current efficiency rating that is based on work performance in the job from which separation i s proposed cannot be set aside by a special efficiency rating. Special ratings must be prepared with t h e same care as regular ratings, and are subject to the same review and to tho same appeal rules. 22. What can be done to correct an erroneous efficiency rating? It can be corrected by the department o f f i c i a l s w h o made, reviewed and approved it. N o change should be made, however unless tho rating was incorrect at the t i m e it w a s made. Notice of the change and the reasons for t h e change should be given to the employee. Efficiency ratiugs made under the uniform efficiency-rating system are subject to appeal by employees. 23. How can an employee appeal h i s e f ficiency rating? All o f f i c i a l efficiency ratings made under tho u n i f o r m efficiency-rating system may be appealed to the board of review of the department or establishment. Tho appeal should be sent to the chairman of the board of review, in care of the Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. Appeals from employees in the field service are considered on tho basis of evidence presented in writing. U.S. Workers Fight Against 54-Hr.

No special form is required for an appeal but it must be in writing, in duplicate, and contain specfic facts to support it." What to Tell " w h a t information the Commission wants is facts which will substantiate t h e employee's request for a revised rating. Anything he has accomplished during t h e year which he feels should have been considered; any evidence h e can produce to counteract an unfavorable report of his superior. It is important to remember t h a t the appeal must be sent to the Civil Service Commission, 299 Broadway, New York City, not to the employee's department. The Appeal Routine As soon as the Commission receives t h e appeal, a n acknowledgement is sent to the employee. T h e n the Commission's Rating Board, composed of civil service examiners meets to consider t h e appeal. They compare t h e employee's appeal with t h e report sent in by the department, upon which the orginal rating was established.. If the employee's letter seems to bear out his plea for a n up-i wards adjustment, this Board asks the department to make an investigation of the facjs in the letter and report. When t h e report f r o m t h e department comes in, the Board meets 'again and may decide t o grant the appeal for a higher rating, and refers the m a t t e r to the Commissioners, who pass it as a matter of routine. If They Deny Boost But, if the Rating Board feels t h a t t h e original report sent in by the department gave a clear picture, and t h a t the rating is OK as is stands, t h e n a different procedure is followed. Denied appeals are referred to to a special Appeal Panel of the Commission's Committee on M a n ifest Errors. This three-member panel compares t h e original rating sheet with the appeal. They can grant the appeal, or recommend to the Civil Service Commissioners t h a t it be denied and their decision must be unanimous. But t h e appeal doesn't end there. The Civil Service Commissioner's may, at their discretion call the employee in for a personal hearing before coming to a decision. T h e verdict of the Commissioners is final.

Is John L. Lewis' Miners Union Going After NYC Transit Budget Group Still After Fire Bonus T h e Citizens Budget Commiseion announced last week t h a t an appeal will be taken to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Department, from the decision of Supreme Court Justice B e n j a m i n F. Schreiber dismissing a taxpayer's suit charging the Mayor and the Board of Estimate With making an illegal appropriation of $3,500,000 in the 1944-1945 City budget. A large part of this amount went to pay the cost-ofliving bonus to NYC Firemen. "If Justice Schreiber's finding is to prevail," the Commission said, " t h e n a door is opened wide permitting the present City governm e n t and all f u t u r e administrations to make budget appropriations by the million in lump sums under vague or misleading headings and later, when the budget is adopted, to t u r n round and spend the lumped millions for other unannounced and hidden purposes. " I t was this very system of lump sum budget making which brought grave scandals in the past, roused public protest, and led to legislation requiring a fully itemized budget, with each appropriation specifically stated for specific spending." The $3,500,000 lump sum appropriation was included in the 1944-1945 budget under the heading, "Miscellaneous—motor vehicle equipment, repair parts, special machinery, unforeseen expenditures and sundry expenses." Since t h e budget was adopted, $3,000,000 of the lumped sum has been transferred for the firemen's cost of living bonus. By CHARLES SULLIVAN District 50, the catch-all organization of the United Mine Workers, J o h n L. Lewis' organization, which last year tried to grab New York City school workers, is now trying to get a foothold among New York's transit workers. The organization, which made little h e a d w a y among school custodians, is now actively engaged in attempting to gain control of bargaining rights f o r the operating staff of the Third Avenue Railway System, a private line. But the majority of the City's operating transit workers are employed by the municipal subway and surface lines, and are represented by the Transport Work- N Y C Not in Taxi Business The NYC Department of Investigation has been looking into the use of City owned cars. I t seems t h a t most of the City's autos are in a pool, but the Commissioners and deputies have their own City cars—which sometimes get a bit too much use. \ suggestion t h a t the Cityowned cais could be used for private purposes by the big shots who'd pay for the privilege did not meet with approval. The investigator's report said, "The City should not operate for the convenience of City employees a drive-yourself service." It did suggest "good taste" as t h e proper guide for the City officials; and that using a municipal car for a social call wasn't according to Hoyle. Employees Kick; Temporary Jobs Made Permanent As reported in last week's LEADER, the New York City Budget Bureau gave permission to hire six more bridge tenders, so t h a t these employees of the Department of Public Works could go on regular schedules and have a day off once in a while. But these appointments were "temporary" and when the bridge men saw that, they saw red. So -they ran to the AFL local with their complaint, and a union attorney wrote to the Budget Bureau, the Civil Service Commission and the Comptroller complaining about the "temporary" designation. Then wheels started to move, and the approval came through to appoint the men as permanent bridge tenders. Now the bridgemen want five more appointments to fill military vacancies and then they'll be happy.

They know District 50 h a s At a n informal hearing before n't got a chance to win, but they the State Labor Relations Board, want to cause as much disrupunion officials, waived the right tion as possible Estimate Members Don't AgreeWithCommerceAss'n Last week's LEADER described budget proposals made by the Commerce and Industry Association which would restrict NYC employees' chances of receiving increases; but it appears t h a t the members of t h e City Board of Estimate a r e n ' t in favor of these changes. The following explanation of t h e members feelings about the budget comes f r o m a source close to the Board of Estimate. It's Being Considered Proposals for changes in budget methods and procedures are being given serious attention by some of the members of the Board of Estimate. I t is expected t h a t the subject will be considered a t an executive conference of Board members in the Fall. The need for allowing more time for the consideration of the budget, both to the public and the members of the Board, is said to be acknowledged by some of the Board members. Others on the Board are also interested in changing the present method of issuance of certificates by t h e Director of the Budget before appointments can be made, in r e f erence to positions to which t h e heads of branches of the city* gov- ernment are authorized by the City Charter to make appointments. I t is contended t h a t the Terms and Conditions of the budget, governing the certificates in this regard, attempts to amend the Charter by resolution of t h e Board, whereas the Charter does not permit of its amendment by t h a t method. Against Limiting Raises The question of having salary increases effective only with each adoption of a budget has not met with much favor among Board members, it was said. They are reported as opposed to limitation of the freedom to adjust salaries by modification because the restriction would make the administration of City affairs more difficult, The New York City Employees' Retirement System in effect, functions as a large life insurance a n d annuity corporation with $150,000,000 life insurance in force on employee-members and with pensions and annuities currently payable of $8,000,000 a year. Against this liability for present and prospective pensions and annuities, $270,000,000 h a s been accumulated, with the City committed to the payment of $121,000,000 more on account of present pensioners and employees. I n addition to being a large life insurance company, the Retirement System is a si^jstantial savings bank with savings of $120,000,000 credited to 97,000 individual contributors, to whose accounts 3,500,000 additional deposits averaging about $4 each, are credited each year, some 12, some 24, and many 52 times a year. All deposits so entered, in fact, all funds in the custody of the Retirement Systems, are guaranteed 4 % interest, compounded annually, by t h e City of New York. I n addition to being a substantial life insurance company and savings bank, the New York City Employees' Retirement System, apart from its m a j o r investments in New York City securities, does a substantial loan business, m a k ing 300 loans weekly, over 15,000 loans a year, averaging $140 each, a n d totaling over $2,000,000 a year. Cost of Operating Personel This entire insurance, annuity, savings bank and loan business is done at an annual expense for personnel of $340,000, less t h a n 1% of the annual income and about Ye of lo/r annually of t h e accumulated assets of the Retirement System. Earnings on its loan business with members, t h a t is, t h e difference betwen the 4o/n credited and the 6% charged t o members on loans, provide nearly 30% of the entire personnel cost, thus maintaining the jointly-contributory nature of the Retirement System's support. For the protection and for the clarification of the source and object of the contributions of t h e City and of the members, pensioners and their beneficiaries, t h e Retirement System is administered through five funds, the Annuity Savings Fund, the Annuity Reserve Fund, Contingent Reserve Fund, Pension Reserve Fund and the Pension Fund. Appreciation of the significance of these f u n d s will much aid understanding of the whole purpose and practice of the Retirement System. Annuity Savings Fund The Annuity Savings Fund is the savings bank for employee-members of the Retirement System. Into this f u n d are paid all the deductions for pension purposes from the salaries of members. These monies are diverted by the Comptroller a t the source, t h a t is, on the way f r o m the taxpayer to the employee, and paid directly by the Comptroller f r o m pay accounts into t h e Annuity Savings Fund, and are there credited by t h e Retirement System to the accounts of the 97,000 members. T h e deductions are based on rates of contribution certified by t h e Actuary and computed by him to be sufficient to produce an a n n u ity at the member's minimum service retirement age equal t o the pension promised by the City member-contribution. Voluntary additional contributions, in several alternative forms, by m e m bers, for the purchase of additional benefits (some matched and some not matched by the City in another f u n d ) , also go into this Annuity Savings Fund. Loans to members are paid out of the f u n d and repaid by the members to the f u n d and to their individual credit in the same way t h a t regular a n nuity contributions are made. This Fund is not of an insurance character; it is a savings bank. If city-service and membership end without pension, contributions with accumulated interest are refunded out of this fund. On being pensioned, a member's accumulated deductions are transferred to the Annuity Reserve Fund. .(To Be Continued) A M|*r«kl* w 4 » w o i i t i i T — ii • Tm**Smy, Aagoet 22, 1944 CIVIL SERVICE LEADER Tmg.fW N I I I H lifrti'lM 1 NYC Whitewings Still Get Clipped A l t h o u g h some d e p a r t m e n t officials a d m i t t h a t t h e r e is n o legal basis f o r t h e i r action, t h e NYC D e p a r t m e n t of S a n i t a t i o n is still penalizing employees f o r h o l d i n g outside jobs.

FROM Veterans Administration at 346 Broadway, New York City, comes a complaint against the clerical workers who have cast aspersion on the efforts of the moving staff. Here is what the movers have to say: , "This department h a s been of great assistance t o t h e Veterans Administration for the past several months and is composed of volunteer workers whose official WATCH designation is CAF 3. These volunteers h a v e saved the Government and the Veterans Administration considerable expense by moving several million cards to and from various sections. I t should also be remembered that there is a critical shortage of laborers at this time, and we are doing their work. "The officials of Veterans Administration have voiced their opinions of approval of our work in the past, and have reaffirmed this opinion o n several occasions."

That's the assurance given by the NYC Civil Service Commission to merchant mariners w h o were worried about their standing. State Attorney General Goldstein had ruled that merchant seamen weren't eligible t o vote through military ballots a s they are not in the armed forces. But military duty, as the City Commission interprets it, includes service on ships which are being used by the Government. if New York City firemen are waiting for the City to answer their arguments against the Fire Department "gag" rule which prohibits them from making any public statements without facing departmental discipline. David Savage, attorney for the firemen, has filed legal papers asking to have this rule eliminated as unconstitutional. T h e City has been granted until August 24 to fiile an answer with the S u preme Court. The basis for the action appeared in T h e LEADER on August 1.

T HOSE Federal employees, who a r e chafing at their jobs should think twice. Now is no time to leave your government post f o r a job in private industry which m a y seem to have more permanence. The w a r isn't over yet. As a m a t t e r of fact, the Federal Civil Service Commission has urgent orders f o r t h e recruitment of m a n y thousands of additional employees f o r the W a r and Navy departments. The soldier and the sailor can't leave their posts because they'd like to t a k e other more remunerative jobs as civilians. The Government employee knows t h a t his j o b is essential, more essential now t h a n ever before. The climax of t h e w a r in Europe requires t h e colossal upsurge of the nation's entire energy. W e in t h e United States have bean f o r t u n a t e in having been able to build up our production without t h e necessity of facing vast personal regimentation in our jobs—unlike t h e people of England, f o r example, who can't just get up and leave a job. The F e d e r a l employee owes a moral obligation to this nation and its people. T h a t obligation calls f o r his remaining on t h e j o b — f o r putting t h e practical need of all t h e people—victory—above t h e blandishments of narrow personal w»nts. Stick to your job! GEN. SOMERVELL'S 54-HOUR WEEK This brings us to a related question, t h e 54-hour week installed by General Somervell in t h e W a r D e p a r t m e n t ' s Army Service Forces. In our view t h e General h a s not publicly given sufficient reason f o r this increase in hours, nor has he answered t h e arguments of employee organizations t h a t t h e increase is unnecessary. On t h e surface, t h e increase in hours looks like a mistake. Nevertheless, pending developments of the n e a r f u t u r e , we are willing f o r t h e time being to hold off criticism. W e assume t h e General knows w h a t he's doing, and has f a c t s which we don't, and which t h e employees don't. W e do think, however, t h a t working mothers in W a r D e p a r t m e n t establishments should be given t h e permission they ask to work less t h a n 54 hours a week. They have a double job on their hands— ; one f o r t h e Government, one f o r their children. As we size it up, many of these working mothers will have no alternative but to quit, because t h e additional hours mean they will have to neglect their children. In their case, General Somervell should m a k e an immediate exception to his firm stand on the 54-hour work week. letters This Fireman Is Angry Sirs; You realize t h a t as a f i r e m a n I c a n n o t sign a n y t h i n g l o r security reasons.

He's Disgusted with Civil Service Sirs: You ask a subscriber if his f u t u r e in civil service is w o r t h 5c a week. Personally, I d o n ' t t h i n k it's worth 2c Most of t h e jobs are u n d e r p a i d ; a n d p r o m o t i o n a l opportunities a mirage t h a t keeps a flicker of hope in our breasts w h e n we'd do better to cast about elsewhere for a job. T h e LEADER h a s been doing a good job in our behalf, but I still t h i n k it is all mostly futile. We r e a d your editorials a n d your i K ^ n columns, b u t do the politicians? And if they do, so w h a t ? I don't t h i n k they get f r i g h t e n e d or go h o m e to b u m the m i d n i g h t oil working out schemes t o m a k e life m o r e tolerable for humble clerks a n d semi-starved white collar workers. Still, I shall renew my subscription. M. A. Yee, M. A., lots of politicians, department heads, and other officials read The LEADER regularly Lots of t h e m get their civil service views from The LEADER. But nobody hands out anything on a silver platter. You have to put up a battle for what it is you want. Lots of things have been gained by civil service emplovees in recent years; lots more remain to be gained. Piteh in and help!— Editor. Should Service Rating Be Basis For Pay Rise? Sirs: I t is always welcome news to h e a r t h a t New York City officials a r e considering ways a n d m e a n s of increasing our salaries.

Memo Pad To NYC Commissioner Patrick Walsh: You can expect fireworks from another group of employees in your department, who are set to come out in public with their complaints. . . . To Vincent Kane: The new group being formed among the uniformed firemen is looking away from your organisation and is considering affiliating with another group. . . . To members of that group: Vincent Kane may be having trouble with his firemen, but he's still a powerful political figure in AFL circles. . . . To Commissioner Ernest Stebbins, NYC Health Department: The employees in your department don't like the idea of having to report on what they do in their spare time. They won't take this inquisition lying down. . . . To NYC Law Department: You're due for a busy season this Fall. . . . The Comptroller's office will face suits to speed up handling of prevailing-wage hearings. . . . Other legal actions are in the wind. . . . To William H. Friedman, Secretary NYC Tunnel Authority: We'd like to bet that your Queens Midtown Tunnel is losing money. Have you considered that 50 cents for a round trip is too much for the average commuter?

LaGuardia Aneedote No. 2 6 8 New York City's bustling mayor ie so busy these days, that even top City officials don't get a chance to talk to him. So one high LaGuardia cabinet member got this idea. He had to talk to LaG., so when he heard that the Mayor was flying to Washington, he grabbed the seat on the plane next to him, figuring he'd have a chance for a chat during the trip. BUT his Honor sat down in the plane, pulled his big hat down over his face, and snoozed till the plane arrived at the Capital. The poMr official didn't have a chance to get in a single word. . Odds and Ends NYC employees will get a half day off to celebrate "V" day, when Germany says, "Enough." This i6 the plan being considered hy LaGuardia: If the news comes during the night, radio anouncements will he made telling City employees not to report to work till 1 p. m. If it comes during the day, employees will be let out on a "stagger" plan, to avoid transit jani6. Department stores and large companies will probably follow a similar setup.

Address t h e Editor, Civil Service Leader, 97 D u a n e Street, NYC. Men (after his stint with the newspaper) as a bookkeeper. A year later, he went over to the Public Service Department. T h a t department performs some exceedingly notable tasks in protecting the interests of the people of the State. It regulates the rates you pay on busses, for example; and makes sure your electric bill isn't too high. This reporter asked Bill whether it isn't dull work checking through these vast amassments of figures. "Not a t all," answered Bill. "It's fascinating. That's where you really see how the wheels go 'round." MBMBBR AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS • 7 DUANE STREET >^4 Looking Through the Books William Joseph Hunt WILLIAM JOSEPH HUNT is a pleasant-looking, mild-mannered civil servant who loves to talk about newspapers. You see, Bill wasn't always senior accountant in the State Public Service Department. There was a time when he was a newspaperman. It was with a country weekly in Mechanicsville, N. Y. And (like Benjamin Franklin, shall we say?) Bill Hunt did everything: h e gathered the news, kept the books, took subscriptions, sold advertising, made up the ads. Today, h e watches line items and operating expenses of big utility companies, reads treir books t o make sure they're hewing to t h e line and n o t overcharging t h e people, prepares volumes of statistics. But Bill looks back on the old newspaper days with nostalgia. And one of his very fond early memories was when he brought in just a simple little story about a wedding, and his editor told h i m : "Good job, Bill!" Yes, Bill had all the names of the guests just right. „ "What do you look for?" you* reporter (who doesn't know an a c counting figure from a can of peaches) asked him. „ Well, Bill looks to see if items in the budget are charged up t o operating expense or fixed c a p ital, and why. It can make a big difference to the ultimate c o n sumer. , He looks to see if the return o n the company's investment is fair or exorbitant, and h e looks sharply to see t h a t no finagling goea on. For example: Suppose it's d e termined that 6 per cent profit is a fair return o n a company's investment, and suppose that company comes up with 12 per cent. Well, Bill would ask for further "exhibits." And the c o m pany would try to justify itself. Or else, Bill might recommend t o his superiors t h a t maybe t h a t company's rates should be cut down, so t h e public gets its service cheaper. 'There's been a vast improvement in t h e ethical and mora) standards of utilities since t h e Public Service Commission began functioning," says William Huntt and especially i n the past i e years." During World War I, Bill spent 8 months with the Infantry. l a addition to that and his newspaper stint, he worked in a bank. He likes all sports, and plays golf when he gets a chance. He's n o t fussy eater, which pleases h i s wife Alma. And he's a good father,, which pleases his daughter Elizabeth. He belongs to the American Legion and he's on the Executive Board of the Association of State With the State 25 Years Civil Service Employees.

Jack" a better chance for consideration. All of the subordinate positions, except those in the higher scientific, professional and technical places are to be filled by appointments under the civil service law. The number of positions affected will run into the thousands. In commenting on the elimination of the exemption claure from bill, H. Eliot Kaplan, Executive Secretary of the League stated living skeletons laying on s e many hospital beds. You may Also visit the milling dayroome and the parading verandas, where as few as two attendants may be seen wrestling with as many as 200 violent patients; where the roar of the manic and the ceaseless chatter of the parnoid is deafening, and where the nerves of men and women grow jittery in their never ending vigil over the eternal runaway and the brooding suicidal. Go through the soiled wards where a patient's clothing may have to be changed as many as 20 times a day, and 300 bed sheets used in a single night; and from there to the dining room where you may duck flying dishes and where as many as a dozen lights may come during any meal hour, The task of the State Hospital attendant is a nerve wracking, difficult and highly dangerous assignment. See the State's records of all the serious accidents, cases of total disability and violent deaths suffered by hundreds of employees at the hands of the mentally unbalanced. Or see some of the long line of men and women who have grown old and gray, bent and broken—long before their time—in this nerve wracking and highly dangerous public service for proof. that he believed that the sponsors of the Demobilization Bill and the Senate leaders deserve commendation for their statesmanship in preventing the intrusion of the spoils system in our demobilization program, which would have been inevitable under the terms of the original proposal. "The proposed office of Demobilization will have a tremendous job to do," he stated. It will be one of trie most important tasks of our post-war readjustment. An effective job can only be done if the new agency is staffed with competent employees selected on a basis solely of merit and fitness. To turn the atsk over to the run-of-the-mine political job-hunters would be to risk demoralization, chaos and failure, in spite of the best plans of operation that might be devised. We must not deal with the problems of the post-war era as loosely as we did with those of the depression, with the waste of time, money and effort that resulted from log-rolling, bickering and bargaining over who were to fill the thousands of subordinate administrative positions." - — T O BE SUR YOU CRT HIGHEST PRICE For Your Car ANY YEAR OR MAKE SEE OR PHONE DEXTA AT. 9-2998 1st Ave.-97th St., N.

I t should be qoted that although your military leave of absence continues until you actually are reinstated and covers time in travelling back to your job. nevertheless, your application for reinstatement must be made within sixty days after you are honorably discharged. If you left a position in the exempt class to engage in military duty, your military leave continues until your return, unless, in the meantime, a permanent successor has been appointed to take your place. The appointment of a permanent successor (other than a substitute appointee) terminates the military leave of an exempt employee and his rights to reinstatement. Your Rights on Restoration Upon your restoration, you are entitled to receive the salary you would have received had you remained in your position continu- ously during the period of your military duty and for this period of time you are deemed to have rendered satisfactory and efficient service in your position. You cannot be deprived of any time service, increment or any other right or privilege or be prejudiced with reference to promotion, transfer, reinstatement, or continuance in office because of your military duty. While you were in military service, your service record rating was based on the average of the ratings received for the three r a t ing periods immediately prior to your absence on military duty, and such rating could not be less t h a n a passing grade for the period of your absence. In computing seniority and service requirements to determine your eligibility for promotion examinations held during your absence or upon your return, your military duty must be counted as satisfactory service in your position. If you left your State job before the expiration of your probationary period, then the time you are absent on military duty must be credited as satisfactory service during such probationary period. Therefore, if your mili- Right tary duty continues beyond the expiration date of your probationary period, you will be deemed to have satisfactorily completed your probationary service. Rights to Promotion A recent change in the Military Law clarified the promotion rights of returning veterans. Under this amendment, if a promotion examination was held in your department while you were away on military duty and you would have been eligible to take such examination if you had been, on the job, then you are entitled, upon your return, to a comparable examination, provided you make request therefor within sixty days after restoration to your position. If you pass the examination, your name will be placed on the regular promotion list in the relative order of your rating and ysrnr n a m e will remain on such liist until it expires or is cancelled. If the list expires or is cancelled within two years after your name was placed thereon, and if you would have been reached for certification while you were in military duty, had your name been on Tuesday, August IS, 1944 the original eligible list with the rating you ultimately received, then your name will be placed on a special eligible list for the remainder of 3uch two-year period. Such special eligible list must be certified before certification can be made from a subsequent eligible list for the same position. Pension and Retirement Rights If you were a member of any pension or retirement system when you entered military service, you were given an option to contribute to such pension or retirement system, the same amount you would have contributed had you remained on your job. This contribution could have been paid at any time or from time to time while you were in military duty or can be paid within five years after the date of restoration to your position. What Happens If Your Position Was Abolished There is nothing in the law which prevents an appointing officer from abolishing the position of an employee who is in military service, if the work is unnecessary or if funds for the position run out. If your position is in the competitive class and you had the least seniority among employees holding the same title, then your name was placed upon a preferred eligible list at the time your position was abolished. This list must MAKES YOU GLAD YOU'RE THIRSTY... be used before any other eligible list may be certified for a vacancy in the same position. If your position is in the noncompetitive class and has been abolished, then your name will be placed on a military reemployment list for the position last held by you or for any similar position, provided you file with the Civil Service Department a written request within sixty days a f t e r the termination of your military duty. After this military reemployment list is established, it must be made available to appointing officers and under the law no position may be filled until an appointing officer certifies to the Civil Service Commission that no person on such military reemployment list who formerly held the same or similar position is qualified to fill and willing to accept appointment to such vacancy. It should be noted, however, t h a t appointments can be made from a military reemployment list without regard to the order of standing on such list. Appointments from preferred lists for competitive class positions musjt be made in one, two, three order. If you held an exempt position and such position was abolished in your absence, then you are not entitled to military reemployment list status. If you held a temporary or seasonal position, then you are also entitled to military employment list status and so far as practicable must be restored to a position similar to the one you held at the time you entered military duty.
