What Federal Employees
Should Know About Retirement
f/
Have you wondered just
[What's what with the money
you pay for Federal retirement? Does it really cost
you
a month to have your
money taken care of by the
Government? Does it really
take a long time to get your
money back after you leave
A Federal job?
^
T h e Air Sei-vice Technical Comm a n d h a s answered these questions for its employees. And t h e
answers m a k e good reading for
all Federal employees. T h e ASTC
based its answers on specific
questions t h a t came in. Here's
t h e information, just as t h e
Technical Command presented i t :
An inspector writes: "It is
well known t h a t there is a very
long delay in t h e remittance of
t h e 5 per cent deduction when
a n employee leaves t h e service."
He also asks: "Will ..1.00 per
m o n t h be deducted f r o m this
r e f u n d for
'bookkeeping'
expenses? If so, does it apply t o
t h e m o n t h s I have been employed
or the time t h e d e p a r t m e n t keeps
the money?"
Another employee writes: "After
a n inspector is in service over 5
years but less t h a n 15 years, his
retirement money is n o t r e f u n d e d
to h i m when he leaves t h e service. W h a t h a p p e n s to money in
such a case?"
T h e system provides for a deduction of 5% f r o m base pay
which, less $1.00 a m o n t h , is deposited to t h e account of the individual employee. T h e $1.00 a
m o n t h is called "tontine" a f t e r a n
early I t a l i a n f o r m of mutu-»l i n surance similar to the government
plan. I t goes into a general r e tirement f u n d , not credited to any
single employee but adding t o t h e
benefits received by all.
How I t Works
Only those holding temporai-y
appointments for one year or less
are not included. B u t t h e "regu l a r " civil service appointees a n d
those holding "war service, i n definite" jobs are covered.
Employees who work five years
or more in jobs which come u n der t h e retirement system are
eligible for retirement benefits
when they reach t h e age of 55
(as a minimum) or more—according to t h e length of service.
The benefits come usually in t h e
f o r m of a n annuity m a d e u p
f r o m t h e a m o u n t in t h e employee's personal account plus a
sum f r o m t h e general retirement
f u n d which includes government
contributions. If t h e employee
should become disabled before
t h e retirement age h e is entitled
to a disability annuity. If. he
should die, t h e money due a t t h e
time h e left t h e service is paid to
his beneficiary with t h e interest
it h a s earned.
How Much?
T h e a m o u n t of a n a n n u i t y depends on t h e a m o u n t in a n e m ployee's personal account (which
earns interest at 4% compounded
annually while h e works in a
job covered by t h e system, a n d
a t 3% a t other times) on t h e
length of his total government
employment, a n d on his age at
retirement.
If h e leaves government e m ployment before h e h a s worked
for five years, h e is entitled t o a
r e f u n d of t h e money h e h a s contributed. This r e f u n d will i n clude all t h e money h e h a s h a d
deducted, providing h e l e f t t h e
job involuntarily but not for r e a sons of misconduct or delinquency.
If h e leaves of his own accord
before the five year period is u p
—or is discharged for misconduct
or delinquency—he is entitled t o
the money in his personal a c count which does not include t h e
tontine deduction.
Delay
T h e r e is a considerable delay
in making such refunds. I t o f t e n
r u n s as long as f r o m nine t o
eighteen m o n t h s a t t h e present
time. All r e f u n d s are handled
by t h e Civin Service Commission
in Washington, a n d since there
is a t present a large t u r n ver in
war service, indefinite appointments, t h e job of getting refimds
back to t h e employees is a m a m m o t h one.
But t h e $1.00 a m o n t h tontine
deductions which have nothing t o
do with bookkeeping expenses,
stop when the employee leaves his
job. They are not continued d u r ing t h e interval h e waits for his
refund.
A// /r. C/erk Titles Dropped in State Service
hEmployees Upgraded Without
ALBANY—Judge J. Eward Conway, President of the
State Civil Service Commission, has announced the abolition of all junior clerical titles in State service, with employees now in this group being up-graded without examination into the next higher level of service. There will
be no more "juniors" in the clerical service of the State
and no more examinations for such title.
T h e order affects about 2,000
employees in such categories as
junior clerk, junior dictating m a chine operator, junior office m a chine operator, junior stenogi-aplier and junior typist.
T h e Former Bracket
Prior to enactment of a m e n d ments
to
the
Feld-Hamilton
career law, contained in the Ostertag measure creating a new
and p e r m a n e n t
State
salary
standardization board, employees
in the junior clerical services were
in a salary bracket paying f r o m
$900 to $1,400 a year. T h e a m e n d ed law now puts them into the
clerical class, from $1,200 to $1,700
a year, and the action of the Commission eliminates all so-called
junior titles, t h u s putting all such
employees in t h e upper-salary
level with upper-salary titles.
Work Expanded
I t was pointed out t h a t about
15 per cent of all appeals heretofore coming from State e m ployees to the classification division for change of title arose f r o m
persons in t h e junior clerical
classes who felt they were doing
work of a higher grade a n d greater responsibilities and t h a t they
should be re-classified. T h e work
and duties of the "juniors," it was
said, h a s oeen so greatly expanded a n d increased t h a t t h e
m a r k of differentiation between
" j u n i o r " titles and those holding
jobs a t the higher level is scarcely
noticeable.
Conway's Statement
Judge Conway's statement about
t h e Commission action said:
"As President and In behalf of
the S t a t e Civil Service Commission, I a m pleased to announce
t h a t by action taken today, clerical positions In the S t a t e service

Why All U. S. Employees
Must Back Postal Men
T'S AN old story about the postal workers. Everybody
gives them everything—in words. But when it comes
to granting them advancement in their condition—
•why, that's different. The Congressman who can one day
stand up and give a glowing account of the "Neither snow
nor rain, etc." business, can the following day sit tight
as tight can be upon a raise in pay. That's not nice.
This year, the various postal organizations are united
in support of the Burch bill, H.R. 2071. This measure
provides for a $400 permanent increase in pay (the first
permanent increase in close to 20 years) ; longevitygrades, which means that a postal worker will have something to look forward to as a result of years in the service; and time-and-a-half overtime pay.
The general public clearly favors upward revision of
postal salaries. This is reflected in such actions as a resolution passed by the New York State Legislature in which
"the people of the State of New York . . . respectfully
requests the Congress of the United States to give immediate and favorable consideration to a revision and reclassification of the wage system of the United States
postal service . .
The public view is reflected, too, in
the generally favorable publicity which the Burch bill
has received.
All Federal employees, incidentally, have a stake in
the passage of this bill. Here's why. If the Burch measure passes, it sets the beam for an upward revision of all
Federal salaries. If it fails, the chances of other Federal
employees for better pay will go on the skids. The obvious conclusion is this: All Federal employees, in their own
interest as well as for the principle, should back the postal
workers. Federal employee organizations have a real job
to do here. And it wouldn't be amiss if State and municipal employees lifted their voices, too.

aide, hate discovered
one of the
cutest oj all petty black market rackets.
It works like this: You go
into a store to buy something, say butter. Then you recall that
you've
forgotten
your points.
"Oh, don't worry," says the solicitous
store*
keeper. "Just tell me how much butter you luant." He then
makes
you sign a statement
that you'll bring in the points to hivi, "but in
the meantime,
so that everything
is legal, I'll have to ask that you
leave a little deposit of 25 cents on each pound of butter,"
Of course,
9 out of 10 customers ne' er return with the ration stamps.
Which is
exactly what the storekeeper
wants. Actually, it's illegal as hell, so
if you run across this racket, don't be fooled by iB! . . . which
reminds
us that Doc. Bernecker
has been on a diet for some time noiv. He's
acquired a lean, hungry look. . . .

What the New Budget Means to NYC Employees
The 1945-6 Budget for New York City announced this
week by Mayor LaOuardia includes an additional cost-ofliving bonus of $120 to practically all City employees
earning under $5,000. Aa an inducement to attract more
people to take City ioba under present conditions, a new
minimum salary of $1,440 has been set for clerical positions in the City service, and new employees are included
in the war bonus. Subway workers also gain increases,
which the Mayor said brings their earnings to a par with
other transit workers. The Mayor is ready now to introduce his Health Insurance Plan.

throughout
NYC, it was a n n o u n c e d by Douglas L. M a c M a h o n , New York local
president of t h e T r a n s p o r t W o r k ers Union. Entitled "We W h o
W o r k on t h e Subway, Appeal to

t h e " t r i a l s a n d t r i b u l a t i o n s of
t h e s t r a p - h a n g e r , " a n d asks f o r

a n d t h e Mayor to a d o p t t h e
Union's propsals to "solve t h e
steadily worsening t r a n s i t p r o b lem."
T h e Union's s t a t e m e n t ascribed
t h e b r e a k d o w n of service on t h e
unified system to these m a j o r
causes: "An a c u t e
manpower
s h o r t a g e due to low p a y a n d i n ferior working conditions, a n d
poor condition of e q u i p m e n t . " I t
charges t h a t t h e B o a r d of T r a n s p o r t a t i o n h a s ignored t h e Union's
proposed solution, which is to
"give t h e employees of t h e City
t r a n s i t lines a t least t h e s a m e
conditions of work a n d pay as
on t h e private lines, in order to
a t t r a c t m o r e workers a n d to keep
those t h a t are hired," a n d to "establish proper l a b o r - m a n a g e m e n t
relations."
T h e Union gives one example
t o prove its c o n t e n t i o n t h a t City
t r a n s i t workers are grossly u n d e r - p a i d , by showing t h a t a City
bus operator's basic weekly p a y is
$11,57 less t h a n t h a t of a driver
employed on t h e Madison Avenue
bus line, which is privately owned
a n d u n d e r c o n t r a c t with t h e
T r a n s p o r t W o r k e r s Union, " T h i s , "
t h e Union claims, "is t h e root of
