T r a i n i n g programs to show employees how to do a better job

L A S T W E E K Governor Harriman declared a "war on poverty."
I n his television program he suggested several ways in which he
believed this war could be won. Some of these ways are of particular
Interest to the public servants of the State. In accordance with the
Governor's broad program, it is expected that this year we will look
t o the correction of certain bad conditions existing among public
employees.
Governor Harriman recommended the broad extension of unemployment insurance coverage. T h e State civil servant now has
this coverage and the municipalities are empowered to extend the
same coverage to their civil servants. However, as far as we know
only one community in the State has taken advantage of this program. In the e¥ent of a layofT the employees of the municipalities
have no way of getting any interim financial assistance while looking
Xor new jobs, except relief.
T h e Governor also recommended an amendment of the prevailwage law for public works by requiring non-unionized contractors
to give the same " f r i n g e benefits" as unionized contractors pay. W h y
not require that the prevailing wage be paid for all skilled labor
I n the public service? There are many persons working in the skilled
trades in the public service, doing exactly the same work as their
brothers in industry, whose salaries are computed on hourly wages
well below the prevailing rates paid outside.
On another point the Governor asked for the elimination of the
•"loopholes" in the law requiring equal pay for women.
There are a large number of women discriminated against in
the public service. T h e y are the women in charge of female prisoners working in the State's correctional institutes. Their work parallels
the hazards, duties and responsibilities of their male counterparts
to the State's prisons.
Yet, these women custodians are paid more than $500 a year
less than are the prison guards.
W e believe with the Governor in the elimination of poverty.
W e believe that if we are successful we will be taking a long step
towards peace in the world and we hope that in the formulation of
the Governor's bold program he will not overlook some of the specifics we have suggested.

V . ' A S H I N G T O N , Dec. 5 — I n ability to reconcile sharp d i f f e r ences of opinion on how a l i m ited number of companies could
acquire eligibility to o f f e r health
Insurance to Federal workers, the
Eisenhower
Administration
has
practically decided to o f f e r a bill
under which all companies would
be able to fight it out among
themselves for the ''business."
T h e proposal, never seriously
considered, that the Federal G o v ernment itself should do the i n suring, has been practically abandoned.
T h e new plan, which would
cover medical and hospitalization
costs, within limits, would remain
one in which the G o v e r n m e n t
contributes a share. I t is reported
that, though the bill m a y call for
a one-third share, the Admini.stration would go along with any
figure not requiring sharing more
than half the cost.
Singly or in Groups
To
be
eligible,
companies
would have to get the approval
of the Department of Health, E d ucation and W e l f a r e . Employees
would be allowed to choo.se w h a t ever

Guard
M I L L I O N S O P T . V . fans have been made aware of the tough
recruitment problem which exists in obtaining qualified men f o r
uniform jobs. N Y C Police Commissioner K e n n e d y made a T.V. appeal
f o r more candidates to take the City's police examination. Only 25
percent of the usual number of applicants had filed prior to this
appeal. And the City has extended the filing period two weeks in
h o p « i of attracting more potential patrolmen.
N Y C police receive $5,440 a year a f t e r three years. Starting pay
Is $4,000 a year with retirement at half pay after 20 yer.rs. I n pay,
retirement, hours worked, this beats the State prison guard job a
million ways. Commissioner K e n n e d y is smart enough to know that
the problem is an economic one and is working hard to increase salaries and make the job otherwise attractive.
Rt cruilhifr

in A V r, Rnt . . .
T h i s recruitment problem percentwise is much more acute in
State prisons. But what is the State doing to recruit help? N o t h i n g —
not a damn thing. Prison guard lists are quickly exhausted. New
exams are given with the same result. Until 1940 it was the usual
thing to have 5,000 to 10,000 applicants for a prison guard exam
with approximately half these candidates from N Y C . T o d a y we get
700 or 800 filing with a list of about 250: practically no applications
f r o m N Y C . If the City police exam is bypa.ssed by these qualified
men, it is easy to understand why they don't
want to be State
prison guards.
Prison guards in general are faced with a desperate dilemma.
Police can appeal to the general public and are generally assured of
a sympathetic attitude. On the other hand, the public. State legislators and other elected officials begrudge every nickel spent in prisons.
T h e only time money is expended freely in prisons in after riots,
killings, etc.
"What then is the answer? H o w are these employees going to get
a decent pension, 40 hours a week, adequate pay?
First, they must all become politically conscious. W h e n your livelihood depends upon politics, you must take an interest in politics.
T h e attitude of " L e t the delegate or president of the organization do
I t " must go; we must all do it together.
'Self
the Public,
the
Politicians
Secondly, we must sell the public, the public in this case being
your neighbors, friends and people in your community. I t is not
enough for only you to know the inequities that exist in civil service. T h e average t a x p a y e r — t h e backbone of any government—must
also be made aware of this situation. A comprehensive program of
public relations must be undertaken by all State employees citing
the splendid job performed by these loyal public servants.
T h i r d , a constant stream of letters should be directed to the
State Capitol by em:)loyees. their families and interested taxpayers,
calling to the attention of elected ofTicials various promises made
to civil servants which await fulfillment.
T h e consolidated efl'orts of those working in behalf of State
employees will produce results. W e must start pushing now; it is
much later than you tliink.
End of 48-Hour Week
Called Top Projeet
Abandonment of the 48-hour
work week is the "nimiber o n e "
problem of State institutional e m ployees, P. J. K r u m m a n , president
o f the Mental Hygiene Employees
Association, has reniiiidrd Gov.
Averell Harriman.
I n a letter to the chief executive, M r . K r u m m a n stated that
n o t only would the Governor be
f u l f i l l i n g a promise if he grants
t h e 40-hour work week lo all
S t a t e employees but would give
morale employee a boost that
would result in greater working
efliciency.
T h e full text of Mr. K r u m m a n ' s
letter follows:
" O u r Mental Hygiene E m p l o y ees A.ssociation and our hospital
employees are very concerned r e garding your views on a m a x i m u m 40-hour work week for all
State employees.
W e note carefully that you and
members of your staff have gone
o n record on several occasions as
being hopeful of abandoning the
48hour work week f o r State e m ployees as soon as possible.
Our As.sociation members and
Officers consider this the Number
O n e problem of the Institution
employee in State Service.
T h e compulsory 48-hour work
Week ha • reflected seriously In the
caliber of personnel the State has
I been able to attract in recent
years, and to the morale of the
institution employee. T h e level of
an employee's morale has a great
effect on the job he can do in assisting hospitalized patients. W e
have noted time and aeain that
the workers with good morale
seem to do much more in helping
natients to recover than those
who are unhappy.
W e would appreciate and w e l come any consideration that you
and
your
Administration
may
take in your present budget recommendations
and
preparation
f o r the coming Legislative Session. M a n y of our employees are
confident that you will do your
best to give them the same work
week as is enjoyed by other State
workers."

said Mr. Schechter. " W e established the grades, titles, duties
and requirements for appointment or promotion during the
first year. Now, during the second
year, we are conducting an onthe-job study of positions in unlimited grades, of employees tinder the Plan who can rise to two
or more different higher positions
in the recla.ssiJication. The next
two years will mark the completion of the on-the-job study,
through the survey of the remaining jobs. The schedule will be
met."
Mr. Schechter is an energetic,
friendly follow, 54 years old. an
old hand at civil service. He was
appointed by Mayor Robert F.
Wagner on July 1. 1954, bet au.se
of his expert knowledge of that

new Town Room!
Shone as Law Student, Too
Mr. Schechter was born in
NYC, got a B.S. degree from City
College in 1922, and an LL.B.
cum laude from New York Law
School in 1926. being admitted to
the Bar the next year.
Prom 1949. imtil his appointment as Personnel Director, he
.served in management consulting
capacities while continuing as
counsel to the State Civil Service
Department. Governor Thomas E.
Dewey appointed him to the Committee to Draft Legi.slation to
Implement
the
Constitutional
Amendment on Veterans Preferance.
Prior Work in N Y C
In 1950 Mr. Schechter conducted a preliminary cla.s.sification
and compensation survey of the
cultural institutions of NYC. During 1950-51. on leave of absence
from the State Government, he
served as liaison executive and
con.suUant for the headquarters
staff of the Mayor's Committee,
he studied the 16 retirement systems to which N Y C contributes.
He served as consultant to the
Long Island Railroad Commi-ssion
on employer-employee relations in
1951. Since then he has been a
part-time consultant to the T e m porary State Commission on the
Revision of the Civil Service Law.
He is a member of the American
Society for Public Administration
and the Civil Service As.sembly.
Everybody seems to agree that
he has what it takes to enable
the Mayor to say finally that N Y C
has the country's best plan of
per.sonnel
administration.
And,
for Mr. Schechter, the year of
decision—when the full course of
NYC's per.sonnel administrative
future is decided—is 1958.

N Y C Is Requested
To Guarantee
Terminal Leave
President Frederic Q. V'endt of
the Civil Service Forum asked the
N Y C Personnel Department to
clarify the proposed uniform leave
policy. He said that some departments grant vacations and sick
leave on a five-day worlc-week
ba.sis, others on a six-day basis.
The Personnel Department intimated that the leaves would be
pro-rated.
Many departments work .skeleton staffs on Saturdays and Sundays, with no time off for employees. while others give equal time
of, Mr. Wendt declared.
The following wa.s requested by
the Porum for combined vacation,
personal and religious observance
leave: 30 work days or annual
leave, with a monthly accrual of
two and one half days, and sick
leave 18 days, with a monthly accrual of one and one half days
accumulated to 180 days.
The Forum wants'agency heads
alowed to grand additional sick
leave where circumstances warrant.

Towerman Wins
Point in Suit for
Reinstatement
The Appellate Divi.sion, First
Department, remitted to Special
Term of the Supreme Court the
case of Carmilo P. Previti, a
towerman employed by tiie Transit Authority, who said he received a permanent promotion,
though the Authority said it was
only temporary and demoted him.
Mr. Previti passed the test, but
was denied the 2'2 points he
claimed as a non-disabled veteran. He wanted them granted so
that his seniority In the new title
would start earlier, and .so that
lie would have to be given a hearing on charges before he could be
removed, Samuel ResnicofT. the
petitioner's lawyer, explained. Mr.
Previti seeks reinstatement.
Special Term will have to determine also whether the petitioner brought the suit too late, in
which case a statute of limitations
would bar the action.
Findings on these points would
decide the outcome.
Spccial Term originally found
In favor of the Authority. Mr.
Previti appealed.

the final analysis the question of
cost will decide the method. W e
believe our plan will cost the City
the least. T h e City is now committed by M a y o r Robert F. W a g ner's campaign pledge, and by
statements made at meetings of
the Board of Estimate subsequently, to the 75 per cent-25 per
cent method of sharing pension
cost. Instead we would accept a
plan of coordination on the basis

would accomplish the same pension purpose.
if under the 35-year plan, he
would have to work an additional
five years to get the same amount.
T h i s is why so many State e m ployees find that a f t e r 30 or 35
years of service they get an allowance so small that they must
obtain other employment.
W e . commend the State E m ployees Retirement System f o r
having an actuarially sound system but believe some provision

such as the i n f l a t i o n a f y period
we have been going through f o r

Old Dollar Versus New
Employees who retired years
ago when a dollar was a dollar
and contributed on that basic dollar were never taken into consideration, or protected, during
this inflationary period. N o w we
find that they would have been
much better protected if they had
no so-called retirement and could
apply for Social Security that
would have cost them only 1 percent of their salary during the
past years, and they would h a v e
possible benefit of increased pension and survivor benefits during
the inflation. Even home relief
recipients receive increased allotments during these times.

PENSION INCREASED
Editor, T h e L E A D E R :
State employees for years have
been clamoring f o r and introducing legislation f o r a 25-year, h a l f pay retirement plan. T h i s type of
publicity reads very well to persons outside of State because they
believe State employees
would
then
receive
half-pay
pension
f r o m public funds.
State
employees
themselves
should refrain f r o m using this
term if they ever hope to accomplish their true aim of h a v ing the pension part of their retirement increased to a higher
proportion.
Pension Is One-quarter
T h e State R e t i r e m e n t System
at present guarantees only onequarter pension to an employee
after 30 years of service and 55
years of age, providing he is c o v ered under the 55-year plan. I f
not under this plan, the best he
can expect is one-quartsr pension
after 35 years of service. In other
words, if one's final average salary a f t e r 30 years of service under the 55-year plan is $3,600,
pension would be about $900 and,

A t this late date our State Is
now talking of integration of S o cial Security, not that officials
are concerned as much with the
employees' welfare as they are
with the financial savings, or o b ligations, of the State. T h e State
now realizes that our retirement
system has fallen f a r
behind
many other private and public

Brooklyn State Hospital
B R O O K L Y N , Dec. 5 — Brooklyn State Hospital was honored
recently by a visit of Samuel
Snelborough, R.N. of Monroevia,
Liberia. Mr. Snelborough has been
delegated by his government to
make a two-year tour of Ameri- i
can hospitals. He expressed admiration for the Mental Hygiene
institution. He plans to spend
more time at the hospital before
his survey is completed.
" A personal letter to your lepjslators," says the hospital's CSEA
chapter, "would take a few minutes of your present time, but it
could be very instrumental in
gaining that extra day off in the
future. Do it now—don't rely on
the other fellow on such un important question to you. Let both
parties know you are interested in
their method of impressing you,
as voters, in January."

Opinion Cited
• T h e Attorney General of this
State." replied John J. K e l l y Jr.,
a member of M r . D e G r a f f ' s law
firm, "in 1943 rendered an opinion
that employees of the Department
of Mental Hygiene who are veterans are not entitled to two additional days' vacation for Armistice
(now called Veterans) Day and
Memorial
Day
merely
b;causij
other employees, who were not
veterans, also r(>ceived such holidays or time off in lieu il.ereof,
with pay.
" T h u s the situation seems to be
that veterans must be given thesf
two holidays nr time off in lien
thereof, but "^o long as they are
given .such holidays or are credited with rhe time for such holidays, they are not entitled to two
additional days over those granted to non-veterans."

Mr. (^alpin is the salary research analyst of the Civil Service Employees Association. The LEADER plans to run these
Research Reports from lime to time as netc and interesting
mtaterinl is received and analyzed by Mr. Gal pin.
Industry Takes Fringe Benefit Lead
Since 1947 the United States Chamber of Commerce has been
making biennial surveys of " T h e Nonwage liabor Costs of Doing
Business." An examination of the findings of these surveys will reveal
part of the reason for the Increased Intere.st and activity in obtaining
improved fringe benefits by employees of the State and its subdivisions.
It .seems to us a fair statement that historically the public employee was considered to have some advantage over the private
employee in terms of fringe benefits granted. In fact it .seems reasonable to us that this may account, at least in part, for the competitive
disadvantage that we believe the public employee has had wagewise.
That there has been a marked change in nonwage labor costs
since 1947 there can t)e no doubt. Just in the 1947-49 period there
was an increase of 28.5% in dollars per year per employee spent
for fringe benefits in private industry. In 1947 it was reported that
nonwage costs in dollars per year per employee was $393 and in 1949,
$305. A.S percent of payroll in 1947 it was 14.4% and 1949, 16.2%.
By 1953 the nonwage cost expressed in cents per hour worked had
ri.sen to $.382 from a 1947 cost per hour of $2.07. The table below
provides a summary of these changes.

SOURCE: Fringe Beneflts-1956 — Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, Washington, D. C.
Expressed as percent of payroll "fringe benefits" have Increased
ftbout one third in six years.
It would be helpful to the reader in evaluating this data to know
what is included in "nonwage labor costs." It includes:
1. Legally required payments (employer's share): This includes
such items as workmen's compensation. Unemployment in-surance,
Otd-age and Survivors Insurance, etc.
.2 Pension and other agreed-upon payments (employer's share):
Tliis includes life insurance premiums, pension payments, etc.
3. Paid rest periods, paid lunch periods, travel time, etc.
4. Payments for time worked: This includes paid vacations or
bonuses in lieu thereof, sick leave, jury duty, holiday pay, etc.
5. Other items: Tliis includes profit sharing payments, suggestion
awards, Chirstmas bonuses, etc.
From this it can be seen that the fringe benefits covered Is
rather complete.
One .significant thing that we take away from an examination
ef this data is that employees of the State and its subdivisions have
generally stood still while vast gains have been made in private
Industry. The public employee should face up to the fact that some
kind.s of fringe benefits will never be available to him such as special
bonuses since this would be unconstitutional as a gift of public funds.
Tiius he will have to concentrate on fringe benefit improvement in
other fields if he is to retain or regain equity with his privately
employed neighbor.
