Things to Remember
About Salary
T
here have been two formal negotiation meetings between representatives of the State Administration
and of the Civil Service Employees Association on salary.
So far, the negotiations have involved mainly an exchange
of information and an examination of the facts. The employees are seeking tvv^o things: a freeze-in of the emergency bonus, so that it becomes part of base pay; and an
increase of 12 per cent in the salary levels.
The employees have built their case so carefully that
it is virtually unassailable. The Administration must look
upon that case with sympathy and understanding, particularly in view of the fact that there has been no over-all
pay increase in two years; and even the increase which
came two years ago was hardly adequate. Some evidence
is at hand that the Administration does look with favor Comptrofler J. Raymond McGovern (left) and Brigadier Emil Nelson of the Salvation

is coming. But the effect of it could be vitiated if the
Administration tries to make a "tough" deal. The enlightened approach this year is to meet the employees' requirements—and the truth is that the employee representatives
have been relatively modest in their requests.
Inequities Exist
It is hard to know at this time what form a pay raise
.will take. ISIany inequities have developed over the years,
and these require correction. A study being conducted by
the State Civil Service Department will presumably show
the way for correcting those inequities. But whether or
not that study is implemented by the coming fiscal year,
the pay needs of the employees should be adequately met.
Boniu Must B*» Covered in
As for the cost-of-living bonus, there no longer exists
any valid reason for continuing it; it should be covered in.
The presence of a salary divided into two parts is an
anomaly; it makes for employee insecurity, and helps the
Administration not at all. Such a device is not tolerated in
private industry. New York City's government has recently
covered its emergency bonus as part of base pay. The State
should obviously do the same, thus removing a source of
worry and an obstacle to good morale,
Mahoney Group Aloof
To 'Rule of 3' in
Appointments; Battle On
ALBANY, Dec. 28 -r- The f a m e d
"one-in-three" rule, by which one
eligible must be chosen out of
three names submitted, is challenged in t h e staff report of t h e
Mahoney Commission. T h e legislative group wants to see much
more leeway given to appointing
officers — a view which is likely
to meet strong employee resistence,
Tlie Recommendation
T h e report carries its recommendation in these words:
"It is . . . suggested t h a t the
Civil Service Commission consider for certain key positions t h e
certification of more t h a n three
eligibles when it is satisfied t h a t
the needs of t h e service require it.
The 'rule of three' and t h e merit
system are not synonymous, and
for certain key higher scientific,
professional and technical positions t h e merit a n d fitness p r i n ciples might better be served by
giving appointing officers a broader choice of highly qualified eligibles t h a n t h e rule of three allows.
The discretion vested by law in
the Commission should b« used
when the need is clear."
Objections Noted
Employee representatives state
t h a t they fear this would open
the floodgates to favoritism a n d
discrimination; t h a t t h e "rule of
three" protects not only t h e employee but the S t a t e as well; a n d
t h a t it is the very essence of the
merit system.
W h e n t h e Hoover Commission

plan was suggested whereby t h e
eligibles would be rated in groupings which would represent t e n point differences. All those e a r n ing 90-100 would be in one group;
80-90 in the second group; 79-80
In t h e third group. T h e a p p o i n t ment officer could choose a m o n c
any of t h e eligibles in t h e top
group, subject only to t h e limitation t h a t t h e veterans in tha*

D e e p l y - F e l t Need
How deeply-felt is the need for pay adjustments was
seen when delegates of institutional employees met in Albany in emergency session to consider the proposal of an
optional 40-hour week at straight pay for those who would
care to have such a work-week. (The present optional
work-week is 48 hours in institutions.) The delegates, almost with a single voice, rejected the proposal. They simply could not view with anything but distaste a proposal
which might negatively affect the take-home pay of any
employee. The only plan which was acceptai)le provided
that the number of hours worked be reduced to 40, but
that the pay continue at the 48-hour level. The employees
can't afford to work for less, however desperately they
desire the 40-hour week.
The intensity of feeling generated at the meeting has
but one meaning: it reveals how inade(iuate institutional
wages are; and of course the same is true of other than
institutional employees. The demonstration, precisely because it was so emotional, is a circumstance and a fact that

be aiseigned for required education of grammar school, two points for
high school education, three points for high school graduation, etc,

totalled for each of the jobs and converted into a dollar wage, and

evaluation of them that the total points assigned some jobs "just
don't make sense." These jobis t h a t may have included peculiar characteristics t h a t do not lend themselves to point system evaluation are

State in the Union.
What the Sm-vey Showed
In 1951 New York State conducted a wage survey of prison
guards salary throughout the
country. It showed t h a t New York
guards salary compared very f a vorably with the salaries paid
Prison Guards all over the country. Of course it did not take into
consideration the fact that the
New York Sate qualifications for
guard were the highest in the
country, t h a t New York has the
most efiBcient and competent prison personnel in America and are
entitled to higher pay. In the
past two years, we find t h a t priFOREMEN CLASSIFIED

son salaries
throughout
the
country have increased an average
of 171/2 and in some Instances a«
high as 45%! In New York State
It has increased 6% since 1951.
What Other States Do
The State of New Jersey prison
pay has for many years been from
$800 to $1,000 less t h a n paid In
N. Y. State because of the difference In the type of personnel and
qualifications set for the job. If
you want a better man you must
expect to pay higher wages. New
Jersey guards now get more pay
t h a n the New York State guards,
and a 25-year retirement plan
besides!
The State of California has" a
higher pay scale for prison
guards. In NYC with no educational qualifications or experience
are necessary for prison guard,
NYC guard receives $563 more per
year. After deduction for pension,
taxes, uniforms, automobile expenses which is a necessity with a
State Prison Guard the pay is so
low t h a t in a recent statewide
exam only 459 filed for the job,
resulting in a list of 104 names.
The State cannot find the experienced men necessary to m a i n tain the high efficiency in our
prison service, at the present
salary level. We ask Gov. Thomas
E. Dev'ey in his message to the
State Legislature to recommend
adoption of our program calling
for "25-40—$5,200" to assure a
steady flow of competent men in
the prison service of New York
State.

This Breakdown of
Recruitment Must Stop!
he Civil Service Commissions should take immediate
T
initiative in improving recruitment, by themselves
conducting studies of why results are so poor.
The Federal Government's failure to get enough candidates in some exams, far too f e w in others, and the
steady decline in appeal to the cream of the college crop
for the junior jobs the U. S. can offer them, makes such
a study necessary now.
New York State has been suffering similar experiences, not only in exams for scientific, professional and
technical jobs, but for others, including State Police. The
application period for some of the State's college geries
exams was extended, for an obvious reason.
In NYC the efforts to get enough police eligibles have
been constantly disappointing. In the latest appeal, 12-,000
applied, which may be heartening to one trembling with
frustration, but the past average was 26,000, and the
future average should be no less. In other job categories
in NYC the situation is worse.
While it is true that one solution is obvious — offer
higher pay — the problem has important ramifications.
Age limits, minimum requirements in general, residence,
and level of exam given require close study, for additional
light on the need of improving the scope of recruitment. The broader the recruitment base, the higher the
expected calibre of candidates.
Also, such studies should weigh with sharp but impartial eye the growing practice of making minimum requirements so high that fewer and fewer persons apply.
This is a tendency by Commissions to substitute, in part at
least, stiff minimum requirements, for the exam itself.
Many excluded would undoubtedly fare well in the test.
A usual objective of such rigid rules for the privilege
• f competing is to reduce the workload of the Commission.
Commission Must Assert N e e d s
This gets back to the money question. The Commissions may not have large enough staffs to rate so many
thousands of additional papers. That would not be the
candidates' fault nor the public's, rather secondarily that
of the executive branch of government, in the exercise of
its budgetary functions, and of the legislative branches
that vote the funds. Primarily, unless Commissions convince the executive arm of their needs, and that arm convinces the legislative arm — a duty that Commissions tend
to avoid under an unnecessary feeling of temerity •— the
Commissions will continue to be plagued by recruitment
let-down in a highly competitive market.
Not only is government competing with private industry, though not with best success, but one government
jurisdiction is competing with another. When both shortcomings, of too low salaries and too small staffs, exist concurrently, one government is competing with itself.
The required studies should be comprehensive in
•cope and detail. They should deal with the important public relations in recruitment. They should include examining
techniques. The U.S. blazes the way in this fruitful field,
but still should find out if its very splendid efforts can not
even be made utterly notable. Other jurisdictions do too
lifllo in this area; or in a pinch, turn to the U. S.
for guidance, even sending their own examiners to take
courses in Washington D. C. If some Commissions were
examined on how well they know the most modern, approved examining techniques, they would flunk the exam.
Year after year the serious and growing shortage of
candidates, despite increasing population, increasing
government functions, and a general increase in the num«<
can not be tolerated. The situation already is
Ilarming. Service to the public is threatened. The complex
«nd interlocking causes must be brought to light and corMcted. Th« future of the merit i ^ i e r a demands ii.

Editor, T h e L E A D E R :
I a m one who m i g h t be a f f e c t e d

I ' m not worried about t h e q u e s tions. My own record is clear. I
don't t h i n k t h a t t h e questions
themselves are as i m p o r t a n t as Is
t h e policy t h a t will be p u r s u e d in

seen n o evidence of a n y h a r s h or
persecutive policy in NYC, which
along with New York S t a t e , of all
jurisdictions, h a s resisted
the

I don't m i n d if t h e questions
are modified, but I ' m r e a d y to
answer t h e questionnaire as it is,
if I h a v e to, a n d would do so
without fear.

Kogel Deplores
Hospital Pay
Dr. Marcus D. Kogel, retiring
• a a pension as NYC Hospitals
Oommissioner, in a recapitulation
•f five years in t h a t office, said
low pay had hampered the departmentvS work. His "greatest
failure," he said was inability to
obtain adequate salaries for employees. Were it not for the prospective pension, key employees
would leave the department in
droves, he added.
"The time is almost here," he
continued, "when the retirement
•f pathologists, roentgeonologists,
medical, nursing and dietary administrators and others in professional and scientific fields will
weaken the hospitals of the department, so t h a t it will be hardly
passible to maintain decent standards of care.
Standards Forced Lower
"Desperate shortages in critical
personnel categories have already
forced us to lower standards. We
have had to remove physicians
f r o m the emergency ambulance
service of the city and we have
h a d to substitute subprofessional
for professional personnel In many
areas of hospital operation.
"We are prompted by necessity
to employ large numbers of u n skilled workers in patient care, and
this multiplies mtiny times the
need for supervisory and training
people. It would be tragic indeed
if this situation goes unrecognized
until a calamitous occurrence spotlights too late a serious deficiency
in supervisory staff."
Dr. Kogel recalled his frequent
complaints at the "strangling effect of the budget and civil service
system" as depriving a commissioner of authority needed to carry
out his responsibilities. He is
Dleased, he added, t h a t he has been
part of an administration " t h a t is
initiating steps to correct these
difficulties and t h a t a performance
budget and a career and salary
plan are in the making.

He was a department career
employee, with 26 years' service.

system ttiat Btilizes some of the features of all of these "systems."
For example, u n d e r t h e "point" system t h e jobs are ranked as in
t h e r a n k i n g system to see how things "stack up."
The Job Classification System—Thiis is a system t h a t is commonly
used in public employment. It is the system sponsored by Griflfenh a g e n Associates and two of the chief proponents amongst the bulk
ol public e m p l o y e e are the Classified service of the Federal service
and t h e State of New York. Under this system a number of classification or pre-determined grades are established in advance and job*
are assigned to these classifications based on t h e job descriptions.
To apply this system in a n organization it is necessary to set up
Job levels or grades a n d to define these job level in terms of the
elements of the jobs in which t h e duties a n d responsibilities are
clearly defined for each level. Of necessity, this method of job evaluation must be based on a thorough knowledge of t h e jobs in the
organization so that all work elements will be included so t h a t the
technicians can clearly distinguish this difficulty a n d responsibility.
After the levels have been establiished it is t h e n necessary for the
analyst to define a n d classify each job into t h e proper grade.
4. Claimant's dUabtnty rating
imist be based upon an examination given by the Veterans Administration within one year of
either the date of filing his application for examination or the date
of the establishment of the eligible list, unless the Veterans Administration certifies
that the
claimant has a permanent stabillaed war-incvured disability.
