T H E G U A R D IA N OF M E R IT ext to the Governor, the most important State Office from the viewpoint of the Public Employee is the Civil Service Commission, the official champion of the Merit and Fitness System in Government. The duties of the Civil Service Commission have grown with the years until its destiny is evident. It is the public equivalent of the vice president in charge of personnel in private industry, probably the most important of the private vice presidencies. It is, under the Governor, the supreme central authority on personnel policies, the rule maker on etiquette, manners, behavior, morale and work habits of all public employees. It is the central recruitment agency, the court of employee appeals, the training center for employees and the chief coordinator in the biggest business in the State. Two Alternatives I have said that the future destiny of the civil service is evident. I should perhaps say that the choice rests between two possible alternative paths, one of which leads to perdi­ tion and the other to a better and happier State. The path to perdition is broad and easy, and many there be who desire to pursue it. Political patronage, the spoils system, and overmuch authority or self-rule by departments, bureaus and offices will destroy any real civil service and bring the return of anarchy in government. The straight and narrow path to civil service efficiency rests upon the following principles. Civil Service A uthority The Civil Service Commission must have and exercise the authority necessary to bring uniform practices and methods to all the employees, offices and subdivisions of the state. Local and departmental autonomy must be limited to allow the entire civil service to be one service, to be governed by; equal laws, rules, regulations and practices. The Commis­ sion must be the supreme authority under the law on all matters relating to personnel. The Commission must become the chief supporter and champion of the merit system. It must be the chief voice of the career and fitness principles. It must join with the organized employees to gain the necessary financial and public support for the great plan of public management which it administers. Can*t Serve Two Masters No man and no Commission — and no Governor — can serve two masters. Civil Service cannot mix with patronage and spoils and survive. Every public official makes a decision every day, and unfortunately the record is often a betrayal of the guiding principle of good government, that special privilege has no part or place in public affairs. The Governor is confronted with grave decisions about his civil service. May he have wisdom and courage in making them. , N ene a t th e election of officers o f th e W illow brook S ta te School C h a p te r.

T hese employees do n o t realize t h a t hun d red s — probably th o u s­ an d s—of inequities exist in City service, such as th e ones th e y them selves describe; th a t it w ould be Impossible to p u t th e new p la n in to effect u n til all th e fac ts are g ath ered on all categories.

I t is necessary to d eterm in e ju s t w h at th e duties of a job are —th e duties of thousands of jobs; for th e re is no question, as was bro u g h t out a t th e hearings, t h a t laborers are working as recep­ tionists, clerks as ad m in istra to rs, sewer m en as bricklayers. T h o u ­ sands of such stories ca n be told of th e City service. All of th e m will have to be investigated. E m ­ ployee representatives a t th e h e a r ­ ings told of unequal pay fo r equal work, of people in th re e or m ore titles doing th e sam e w ork a t d if­ fe re n t salaries, and gave in general a picture of low m orale. T h e ta sk of probing.

B u t even if every City job were upgraded, th e p res­ e n t injustices would still re m a in — higher-g rad e employees would still, in m ore th a n one case, be Bupervised by low er-grade ones; th e City would still have its p re s­ e n t hodge-podge of jo b -titles; o u tof-title work would still be r a m ­ p a n t: lack of prom otion oppor­ tu n itie s would still be th e sam e as now ; thousands of employees would still be unable to tell you their tru;e a r i n g N Y i n B i g J o b s C O U pgrading will come fo r m an y jobs th ro u g h th e C areer a n d P ay S tud y; b u t upgrading is only one of th e jobs such a stu d y is de­ signed to accom plish.

They would prot N ew York City’s classification for its employees dates b to the nineties. Employees suffer in several ways: (a) Employees doing the same work get different ja of pay. (b) Employees getting the same pay do different gra of work. (c) Supervisors often get less than the men they sui vise. ( d ) Lines of promotion are not clearly outlined, as tj should be to give a person reason to work for future. The city suffers because it cannot budget intelligently long as its job classification is a hodgepodge of makesh For example: (a) No single document is readily available that gi job duties for thousands of city titles. ( b ) Many different titles are used for positions invo ing identical work. ( “Inspector of Fuel” ; spector of Supplies” ; “Inspector of Fuel Supplies” ; and “Inspector of Fuels, Supplies, etc (c) Employees are promoted in grade but continue w no change in duties or responsibility. ' ( d ) Frequently no relation exists between the dut performed by subordinates and the title of supervisor.

Ma] O’Dwyer has given his personal word for that. Every otl supporter of the plan, too, insists upon the requirem that no city worker’s pay shall be reduced. What the plan w ill do is safeguard the worker by ass ing him of (a) an adequate and just wage for the work he is doi (b) equal pay for equal work, (c) a clear description of the duties of his job, (d) a plain line of promotion ahead. For the City and the Taxpayers (a) It will end w asteful guesswork in administration, department head will be able to tell what duties are p formed by his subordinates and whether a given task handled by too many or too few employees. Today he cam (b) It will make budgeting more accurate. A corr estimate of the costs of any governmental activity will aided by a clear understanding of what each employee qualified to do and by the establishment of job descriptii that fit existing conditions. (c) It will save the city money by reducing out-of-t work. For instance, it will reduce the large number of ca in which a highly trained uniformed man is assigned work that m ight be more efficiently performed by a skil typist or a clerk.

SAVATH A lthough m ost federal employees generally are aw are of th e p ro ­ visions of th e law establishing th e ir en titlem e n t to an n u al or sick leave, th e re are several regulations p erta in in g to leave w hich are little know n to employees. W hile F ederal employees ea rn a n d are cred ited with 26 days of a n n u a l leave for each calen d ar year, th e g ran tin g of such leave is prescribed by th e agency and not a t th e whim or desire of an em ­ ployee. However, w hen a n em ­ ploye is reduced in force or about to be placed on furlough, he shall be gran ted a n n u a l leave upon his request p rior to his furlough. A nnual leave m ay be ac cu m u lat­ ed an d c a rrie d forw ard for use in succeeding years u n til it totals n o t exceeding 60 days. Leave is also g ran te d w hen a n employee is ab sen t fro m d u ty as a witness in court for th e G overnm ent, or for ju ry d u ty In any court. However, such “leave” is n o t charged against a n n u a l leave bu t m erely recorded as "court leave." Sickness During: A nnual Leave I f sickness occurs w ithin a period of a n n u a l leave an d lasts five or m ore consecutive work days, th e period of illness m ay be charged as sick leave, an d th e charge ag ain st an n u a l leave re ­ duced accordingly. A pplication for such sub stitu tio n of sick leave for an n u a l leave shall be m ade w ithin two days a f te r re tu rn to duty, and shall be supported by a medical certificate or o ther evidence a d ­ m inistratively acceptable. A nnual leave will also accrue to th e benefit of an employee while such employee is on a leave w ith pay sta tu s, provided h e retum is to duty. However, failu re to r e ­ tu rn to d u ty for ireasons oth er th a n d ea th or disability, re tire ­ m en t for disability, or reduction In force, will b a r th e employee from earn ed leave acciuedu. E m p lo y e e P e rm a n e n t employees earn and are credited w ith sick leave a t th e r a te of IVi days per calen d ar m onth w hich m ay be credited a t tlie beginning of th e m o n th or com m encing a t th e first pay period following th e first day of th e m onth.

P ublic employees are entitled to work in air-cooled offices during sw eltering weather. The LE A D ER has interviewed NYC employees who were let off earlier on several hot days and they said that they’d rather work the full day under air-conditioning than the shorter period in discomfort. It*s an idea w orth consideration by Federal, State and City administrations, especially as one finds air-conditioning in public officials* own offices. So w hat’s wrong w ith giving the saine break to the little fellow s? The m ain consideration is to treat the employees as they deserve and prefer. There would be no net expense in­ volved. The hours not worked surely don’t produce results. Those worked under m ost trying conditions can’t be ex­ pected even to approximate full productivity. In these midsummer dog aays offices close an hour or more earlier. Take the case of liie NYC Civil Service Com­ m ission, w ith only a couple of hundred employees. I f there are five unbearable successive days during the work week, there go 1,000 man-hours o f production. Exam papers go un­ graded, lists are delayed, the whole operation suffers, and all this costs the City money. The City has 160,000 employees, and if the assumption w ere applied throughout, there’d be 800,000 man-hours lost in a week. That’s just mathematical ratio, not actuality, of course, because the Police and Fire Department’s uniformed forces, the Sanitation Men, doctors, nurses, dentists and the like, go on undiminished schedule, but the idea of the enormity is there, and a visualization of the possibilities o f em ployee satisfaction. F e d e r a l P o lic y i n D e g r e e s The Federal Government doesn’t recognize employee dis­ com fort because of the heat as a reason for excusal from work, or “dism issal,” as the official order has it. “Employees in quarters reasonably adapted to hot weather should re­ main at work,” says a W hite House memorandum, “even though they are experiencing discom fort.” This is one case w here the W hite House really puts on the heat! The W hite House policy, which all branches of the U. S. government are expected to follow, provides that there shall be no group dismissals because of hot weather, except under one of the following conditions, when they are op­ tional only: “90 degree temperature and 70 per cent humidity; 91 degrees and 68 per cent; 92 and 63; 94 and 55; 95 and 50; 96 and 45; 97 and 40; 98 and 38; 99 and 34, and finally, 100 degrees and 30 per cent hum idity.” That applies if there’s no air-conditioning. But who said that there must be none and that discomfort is to be coun­ tenanced when it can be prevented? There’s no better time than now, before the summer disappears, to get the airconditioning installed. K E R W IN HEADS STEN O TY PIST E ugene P.
