Court NulUfies Veteran Preference On Promotion Tests L I I [ ^ , ' I ^ ALBANY, Nov. 5 — Decisions affecting four m a j o r titles in t h e S t a t e civil service are expected soon. I m m i n e n t is a decision on a n appeal brought last spring by t h e Civil Service Employees Association on behalf of highway engineers in t h e D e p a r t m e n t of P u b lic Works. J. Earl Kelly, S t a t e Director of Classification and Compensation, is expected to a n nounce his decision on this appeal within t h e next two weeks. Kelly returned f r o m vacation yesterday and t h e pngineer m a t t e r was high on his list. Upffradinff Request Basis of t h e appeal was a r e quest for upgrading by two or three grades, t h e various engineering titles in Public Works on the grounds t h a t current salary levels were too low t o compete with outside industry's demand for trained engineers. At t h a t time there existed close to 1,000 vacancies in p e r m a n e n t engineering titles. Recently more t h a n 500 of these were filled f r o m the grade — is given to disabled and non-disabled veterans alike, provided they score a passing grade on the initial exam. The Assumption The Pennsylvania S u p r e m e Court based its opinion on t h e assumption t h a t military sei'Vice gives veterans special fitness for public employment, 'f'he majority of the court held, however, t h a t this line of reasoning did not a p ply in t h e case of promotion. In New York this year, vets' preference was altered when the absolute preference provision of the civil service faw was abolished and a point system was substituted in its place. Now, disabled vets get 10 additional points' credit on an original appointment exam or five points on a promotion test, while non-disabled veterans are entitled to five points on an original appointment and two and a half when seeking promotion. In both cases, however, preference can be used only once, ALBANY, Nov. 5 — T h e situa- with t h e vet choosing whether to tion of teachers in t h e S t a t e So- use it for entrance or for promocial Welfare D e p a r t m e n t was t h e tion. subjec? of a meeting between S t a t e The Illinois Plan Budget Director T.

However, of these 500, t h e d e p a r t m e n t gained but 10 new e m ployees since t h e remainder h a d already been in temgprary or provisional status. W Industrial Investigator Another appeal on which a decision is expected soon is industrial investigator. D e p a r t m e n t of Labor. This decision, too. T h e LEADER learns, and may be a n nounced any day. Other titles on which decisions are pending are commodities t a x examiner, on which a hearing w^s conducted September 11, and motor vehicle license examiner, on M^ich a hearing h a s been r e quested. Both titles are in T a x a tion ami Finance. Classification a n d Compensation h a s the.se two m a t t e r s currently under study. As & Markets Study Another m a t t e r of m a j o r importance before Kelly is a study currently being made of t h e e n tire d e p a r t m e n t of Agriculture a n d Markets. While this is still continuing, and a decision on r e organization is more remote, yet T h e LEADER learns t h a t m a n y of WINS H O N O R A significant case involving vete r a n preference h a s been acted upon by t h e Pennsylvania courts. I t s repercussions may conceivably extend to other states. Pennsylvania veterans employed by s t a t e a n d local governments no longer get preference over non-vets for job promotions. A decision of t h e Pennsylvania Supreme Court nullified t h e 10point bonus added to veterans' scores in promotion tests, provided for under t h e state's civil service law. However, veterans' preference as it affects original appointments was sustained. This preference — 10 points added t o ,Discussion Held on State Teacher Jobs See Page 8 Price Five Cents Guy C.

Contrary to rumors, there has been no effoi-t by the City administration to suppress it. The report requires the careful study of all who are interested in civil service — the employees, the civic organizations, the City administrators, and every good citizen. The report is a remarkable job. It offers much that is good; and with changes in some of its recommendations — J.

NOV. 16 LAST DAY FOR President, State Civil Service Commission Civil Service D e p a r t m e n t as a dual one: T h a t of "seeking every reasonable method by which we may render service to t h e people of t h e State," a n d t h e " s a f e g u a r d ing of t h e rights of competitive employes." He Is f r a n k to admit t h a t "mucH remains to be done in personnel m a t t e r s In t h e state of New Y o r k " a n d ascrlfles some of t h e diflficultles to t h e "departmentalteed thinking which prevents some p u b lic servants f r o m looking beyond their own Immediate needs." Judge Conway is certain, h o w ever, t h a t In personnel m a t t e r s t h e S t a t e a t large and his d e p a r t m e n t In particular are m a k ing progress. Interneship Program He emphatically laid to rest a rumor current recently in Albany when h e told The LEADER " t h e interneship program, contrary t o some recent reports, is not being abandoned or curtailed. This p r o gram, launched by the Governor^ h a s t h e backing of the entire a d ministration and is proving its worth. While It may require a decade of operation before Its values m a y fully be assessed, we are perfectly satisfied and pleased with results to date." The i n t e r n ship program is an a t t e m p t t o bring brilliant young people into S t a t e government. While discussing t h e work of his d e p a r t m e n t t h e judge made clear t h a t "I a m n o t just talking about myself. I wish to emphasize t h a t when I speak of progress or successes I mean t h a t these things have come through t h e diligent work performed by t h e staff of t h e department." Married a n d the f a t h e r of three children, Judge Conway r e ports t h a t his daughter, Mary Catherine, 20, is now studying journalism at P o r d h a m University " a n d enjoying it." His oldest son, J a m e s E., 18, is a sophomore a t M a n h a t t a n college a n d intent on a career In law. The youngest child, J o h n T., age 9, according to his f a t h e r "is currently e n grossed with Hopalong Cassidy." T h e Conways reside in Kingston where Judge Conway likes " t o putter about just to keep my h a n d s busy" as a m e a n s of relaxing from his official duties. While following no particular team, he is a baseball f a n "with a liking f o r t h e underdog club." WHAT EVERY EMPLOYEE SHOllD KNOW The 48-Hour Week An Anachronism n p H E NYC Sanitation Department is now riven and torn X by strife. One element of the situation, however, is clear beyond possibility of dispute, and it holds for other City agencies as well. A basic 48-hour week cannot be justified today. It is an anachronism that would be unworthy even of the most unenlightened employer; in City government, it simply cannot be tolerated longer. Only One view can be taken of the situation. The employee who works a basic 18-hour week is being taken advantage of, and is being compelled to subsidize the City with 8 hours of his working time every week. Where in private industry would this be countenanced? SANITATION EXAM P R O T E S T S Candidates in the NYC test for promotion to Sanitationman, Class C, have until Friday. November 16, to protest any t e n t a tive key answers to the Civil Service Commission, 299 Broadway, New York 7, N. Y, Protests should be proved by citing authorities. The test was taken by 2,562. There were 41 absentees. SHOMRIM SOCIETY HONORS POLICE DEAD T h e Shomrim Society's annual memorial services for deceased members of the NYC Police Department was held Simday, November 4, at Mount Neboh Temple, 130 West 79th Street. M a n h a t t a n , at 3:30 p.m. Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri and Police Commissioner George P. Monagh a n will speak. The Rev. Isidore Prank, police chaplain, will officiate. " t h r e a t s of civil proceedings or a resort to one's legal remedies do not constitute duress. This is p a r ticularly t r u e where, as here, t h e r e is no allegation t h a t the charges contemplated were unfounded oi* baseless in f a c t . " Employee Guilty of Delay T h e Court also noted t h a t t h e employee waited more t h a n two and a half years to sue. It pointed out t h a t by t h a t time any illness which m a y have required a leave of absence presumably h a d disappeared. T h e claim of duress, to be recognized, must be m a d e within a reasonable time.

The survey report would make recommendations to the U.S. Civil Service Commission. The idea might be applied nationwide.

I « Page Pourleen ^ CIVIL S E R V I C E L E A D E R Tuesday, November 6,1 Questions Answered on Career-Pay Plan (Continued from page 9) positions in the New York City service. 2. A compensation plan t h a t provides equal pay for equal work and suitable differences in pay for differences in work. <8. A code of standard employment terms and working conditions t h a t can be applied on a city-wide basis. 4, An effective service rating or performance evaluation system by which the performance of an individual in fulfilling the requirefnents of the work of a position may be compared with the performance of others and with established standards. 5. A well-planned manual of practical and effective procedures, techniques, forms, records and regulations to govern matters of personnel admininstration. The report recommends t h a t once the proposed Bureau of Personnel Administration is established, the Director of Personnel Administration keep the classification and compensation plans up to date, and develop the needed code of standard employment terms and working conditions, a performance evaluation system, and a manual governing matters of personnel administration. These tools, together with a mature labor-management program, would enable the Director to carry out his personnel administration and labor-management functions with the greatest facility in the best interests of public employees and the citizenry. Board Will Hear Suggestions T h e report proposes t h a t every aspect of the plans be subjected to scrutiny by a high level Hearings Board, and t h a t , a f t e r t h e recommendations of this Board are considered by the Mayor and his advisors, the plans be presented forthwith to the Board of Estimate and be acted upon. Blanketing-in It is recommended t h a t employees having civil service status, and filling positions of a higher level t h a n called for by their present classifications, be blanketed-in to such higher positions, provided they have filled the positions for six months or a year. Demoted employees would be given perm a n e n t employment in the lower place without reduction in pay and be reinstated to the first vacancy in a class ruled to be equal in rank to t h a t corresponding to his civil service status with choice of agency to the extent practicable. Some Important Questions ' Some important questions t h a t may arise about the proposed classification and pay plans are presented, as follows: 1. Is the classification too broad? Answer: The classes are intended to include only those po- sitions t h a t can be filled f r o m one civil service eligible list resulting f r o m one test. Specialization in the subject-matter of t h e department's work must come later. 2. Isn't classification too n a r row? "We don't want so many specialties; we want freedom to assign men to work of any type and especially to move t h e m upward freely." Answer: There is nothing in the classification idea to restrict any department officer in assignments. The classification is not narrow; it is really very broad and it is more likely to be narrowed in t h e course of review and administration t h a n to be made even more general. If there is too wide a classification, it becomes necessary for the recruiting agency to debate with the department the specific duties of each place a n d to set up in effect a sub-class, thus destroying much of the value of the original work. 3. Why provide what are called sets of associated classes, or specialties, or sub-titles? "Is not t h e recognition of specialties a device to permit favoritism?" Answer: Actually, it is a device to save words to present the plan devised by a City government classes t h a t are alike in every to disregard or exclude any kind particular except for some one or category of positions whatsokind of technical knowledge or ever t h a t exists in the City's esskill, like a language, or use of a tablishment.

Nov. 5 — I n a n swer to questions. Senator William Langer (R.. N. D.). who h a s played an important p a r t in civil service legislation during his career in the U. S. Senate, explained why. in general, the classified employees got a $300 m i n i m u m raise while postal e m ployees got a flat $400. " I t wasn't because Congress loved the classified employees less, or even t h e postal employees more," he remarked, " b u t simply because the postal employees put f o r t h a much stronger effort. " T h e postal workers got $400. T h e postal employes are organized. T h e y have men like Bill Doherty a n d Jerome Keating who work h a r d for them. These men are real organizers. They have gotten practically 100 percent cooperation from their members. The other Federal workers wander around aimlessly and get lost in t h e shuffle. The result is t h a t they do not get $400 flat but only $300 minimum." How Law Works Out T h e flat $400 applies to clerks a n d carriers. Postmasters, supervisors and employees in t h e postal field service get up to $800 raise, in a separate bill. Cla.ssified (nonpostal) employees get an increase of 10 per cent, but a t least $300 and at most $800, so some classified employees get a higher raise t h a n clerks and carriers. Queitions Answered On Federal Pay The folowing af« answers to questions submitted t)^ LEADER readers on the new U. S. pay law: Q. I retired on O<?fober 1. Am I entitled to retroactive pay? A. Yes. for the period between July 1. 1951 and the date of your retirement. This is the only exception to the rule t h a t retroactive salary shall be paid only to a n individual in the service of the United States. Service in t h e a r m ed forces counts the same as civilIan Federal service for this p u r pose. Q. W h a t about the effect of the new law on base overseas pay in civilian jobs? A. The new law does not increase t h a t pay, except in t h e Foreign Service of the S t a t e Department. T h e Budget Director and the U. S. Civil Service Commission are t o report to Congress by April 1, 1952 on pay and personnel practices in overseas jobs, including t h e Foreign Service. Q. Does the time I've spent in my present job, already nine months, count to my credit for grade promotion, or does t h e Whitten a m e n d m e n t make me wait an additional year? A. The nine months count t o your credit. Q. My in-grade raise is due in a few months. Does the f a c t t h a t I get a pay increase through the new law kill my chances of MATTEAWAN, Nov. 5 — T h e Matteawan S t a t e Hospital e m ployees' dinner was a huge success.

Senator Hatfield, deeply a p - In preciated the kind invitations to dinners over t h e number of yearr he h a s served in t h e S t a t e legislature. He spoke of t h e work he did in cooperation with Assemblym a n Fitzpatrick to get guards' pay for t h e employees. He said he believed they are entitled to t h e increase and the classification received, t h a t it took nine years to do it. He mentioned two men of t h e Association who worked h a r d for t h e employees, Harry Phillips, who is ill. and Bill Mc Carroll, who "as sure as t h e sun would come u p in Albany you would see Bill McCarroll asking w h a t we were going to do and w h a t we were going to accomplish."

As t h e W h i t t e n a m e n d m e n t requires a wait of at least a year for my grade advancement, (1>, must I t u r n down an offer of a job four grades higher t h a n my present one. m a d e to me because I'm an eligible on a register for a different title position; a n d (2), if my present normal promotion ladder is in two-grade jumps, does t h e Whitten a m e n d m e n t limit t h e j u m p s to one? A. (1) T h e appointment of eligibles may be made at any grade within t h e authority of the Civil Service Commission, from a r e g ister of eligibles, and Federal e m ployees who also are eligibles h a v e t h e same rights as all other eligibles. (2) T h e a m e n d m e n t does not prevent t h e two-grade j u m p s in the case you cite. Q. Was t h e overtime pay provision equalized for all grades under the new law? A. No. The overtime rate was increased in some instances, but decreased in others. Examples a r e : former $2.03 now $2.13, for Uie middle step of Grade 3; former $2.09 becomes $2.11 for the f o u r t h grade step, but for the next step former $2.15 becomes $2.10, and the rate reduces progre.s.«ively, until it becomes zero at GS-14 and above.

He said t h a t there are those who think t h e S t a t e workers are overpaid, but t h a t they are not nearly well enough paid for the services they render. Rev. McKinley a n d Harry Phillips Rev. Howard McKinley stated t h a t some fine things had been said at the dinner about the S e n a tor and Assemblyman, but he wished they might have heard of the testimonial of Harry Phillips, for in a few words he expressed his appreciation for all they h a d striven to do for t h e A.ssociation. He expressed his appreciation of the Association, for as one of t h e spiritual leaders in the c o m m u n ity he knows how they function In time of sickness and sorrow. Jesse B.

He said t h a t officers receive no salary, b u t work for t h e membership a n d get no benefit except to give service for each dollar. T h e service last year was increased many times a n d this year another field m a n is being p u t on. I n regard to t h e increase in salary, he stated t h a t perhaps Senator Hatfield a n d Assemblyman Pomeroy were not aware of t h e f a c t t h a t they are 77,000 jobs In New York State, then when increases became e f fective April 1st, 67,000 jobs were filled and 10,000 jobs were not filled, t h a t t h e S t a t e employees are doing collectively the work of these people and t h a t money became p a r t of t h e increase t h e workers received. He added t h a t the S t a t e workers do more t h a n they get paid for and t h a t this is recognized. T h e Association is in a healthy position and t h a t it h a s made great strides, he added.
