Book > AS- / ^ Z '{r Extract from the Report of the Congressional Joint Committee on Reclassification of Salaries • WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1920 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS The Commission makes th« f ollowiiag: recommendations, in the con- fident belief that their adoption will bring about and hereafter maintain conditions of " uniform and equitable pay for the same- character of employment," and will secure for the Government the maximum return in loyal and efficient personal service for the com- pensation paid. These recommendations are more fully stated and are discussed in Chapters III, IV, and V of this report. For the immediate attainment of uniformity and equity in pay for the same character of employment the Commission recommends (see Ch. Ill) : 1. That the Congress adopt the classification of positions set forth in Part II. 2. That the Congress adopt the schedules of compensation set. forth in Part II for the respective classes of positions. 3. That the Congress authorize the Civil Service Commission to take over the Reclassification Commission's records and keep them current, pending action on the above recommendations. 4. That the Congress direct an existing agency (hereinafter re- ferred to as the "Classification Agency"), logically and preferably the Civil Service Commission, to make a final allocation of indi- vidual positions to the classes set forth in the recommended plan of classification. 5. That the Congress authorize and provide for the adjustment of the rates of pay of individual positions and employees to bring them, beginning July 1, 1920, into conformity with the schedules of compensation prescribed for the respective classes into which the respective positions have been classified. For the future maintenance of uniformity and equity in pay the Commission recommends (see Ch. Ill) : 6. That permanent administration of the classification and sched- ules of compensation be delegated by law to an existing independent ■agency of the Government (to be termed hereinafter the " Classifi- '■■ation Agency"), logically and preferably the Civil Service Com- mission. 7. That the Classification Agency periodically recommend to the Congress additions to, or amendments of, the classification. 8. That the Classification Agency recommend to the Congress new schedules of compensation for new classes of positions, or ciiaiiges, if 22 - ••• r EECLASSinCATION' COMMISSIOlSr REPORT — ^PAET I. 2S deemed desirable, in the established schedules for existing clas,ses, recommended schedules for new classes to apply until acted upon by the Congress and then to become effective in the form approved by the Congress. 9. That new or additional positions that it is proposed to create be first classified by the Classification Agency. 10. That estimates^ appropriations, and payments for personal services be made under the title of the class and in accordance with the schedule of pay applying to the class which the Classification Agency certifies as applicable to the position in which such services are to be or have been rendered. 11. That the pay of individual employees be regulated on a basis of efficiency and length of service in the class in which their respec- tive positions are classified, according to the schedule of compensa- tion applying to the class. For the attaiimient of uniformity in the regulation of all factors having an indirect bearing on rates of pay and for the improvement and standardization of working conditions, the commission recom- mends (see Ch. IV) : 12. That the Classification Agency recommend to the Congress from time to time those measures that it deems necessary to the improve- ment and the standardization of working conditions and terms of employment. 13. That the Congress prescribe standard minimum working hours for each group of employees, together with uniform rules for the compensation of overtime work for those employees for whom the compensation schedules provide for pay at an hourly rate, and for additional compensation for all night work. 14. That the Congress provide that after January 1, 1^21, (a) all employees be granted annual leave at the rate of 2^ days per month, not to be taken rnitil earned, and not more than 30 days to be taken in any one calendar year; and (5) that all employees be granted sick leave at the rate of 10 days per year, not more than 60 days to be taken in any one calendar year. For the securing of the maximum return in efficient personal serv- ice for the Government's pay-roll expenditures the Commission rec- ommends (see Ch. V) : 15. That the Congress undertake a systematic examination of the functions now being exercised, the organization now in effect, and the methods of procedure in use in the several departments and inde- pendent establishments making up the Washington service, in order that unnecessary work, duplicated work, improperly allocated work, 24 RECLASSIFICATION COMMISSION EEPORT — PART I. instances of poor organization, and expensive or inefficient methods of conducting business may be discoA'ered and eliminated. 16. That the Congress provide for a comprehensive and uniform emplo3'ment policy to be administered by a central personnel agencj^, logically and preferably the Civil Service Commission, and to include the standardization of rates of compensation and Avorking conditions and the selection, development, and retention of an efficient personnel ; and that an advisory council be established to advise the Civil Service Commission on matters coming under the jurisdiction of the latter, and to arrange for the formation of personnel committees in the various departments. 17. (a) That all positions hereafter be filled by the appointment of those best fitted to perform the duties as determined by the central personnel agency through the most effective methods of test and investigation; and {b) that no permanent appointment to the service be made except on certificate by the central personnel agency that the employee has satisfactorily passed his probationary period. 18. That the central personnel agency be empowered to undertake, in cooperation with the departments, measures for the training of employees for increased usefulness in the service. 19. That the central personnel agency be authorized and directed, after consultation with the heads of departments, to arrange for the installation of efficiency rating sj^stems in the various Government establishments; and that the appropriate administrative officers be required to rate all employees under their direction in accordance Avitli these sj^stems and under such rules and regulations as the central personnel agency may prescribe. 20. That hereafter employees be increased in pay not oftener than once a year and only within the limits of the range set for their class of positions and on the basis of ascertained efficiency of the required standard, to be set by the central j)ersonnel agency; and tliat failure to maintain such standard after advancement to a given rate shall subject the emploj-ee to reduction to a lower salary rate in the same class. 21. That Avhen vacancies in the higher classes are not filled by transfer or reinstatement they be filled by promotion of properly qualified employees as determined by competitive civil-service ex- amination; and that open competitiA'e examinations for the filling of such vacancies be held only when three such eligibles can not be secured from those already in the service. 22. That employees Avho fail to attain a fair standard of efficiency as prescribed by the central personnel agency be removed from the service, after suitable opportunity for appeal to the personnel agency. RECLASSIFICATION COMMISSION REPORT PART 1. 25 23. That employees who, by reason of their age or disability re- sulting from their service, are unable to render service of a fair standard of efficiency be retired under an actuarially sound pension plan. 24. That transfers, layoffs, reinstatements, demotions, dismissals, suspensions, and other employment processes be regulated in accord- ance with a uniform employment policy and in conformity with the spirit of the above recommendations; and that employees have the right to appeal to the central personnel agency in all matters coming under its jurisdiction.

(c) The rate of compensation of a teacher shall be decreased whenever he fails to maintain the standard of efficiency prescribed for teachers within the same class to whom the"same rate of com- pensation is paid, except as provided in subdivision (3) of para- graph (a) of section 205. Sec. 205. (a) The board shall establish a uniform system of efficiency rating, which shall set forth (1) the standard of efficiency which must be maintained by teachers within the same class to whom the same rate of compensation is paid and below which no teacher may fall without being paid such lower rate of compensation prescribed for such class to which his efficiency rating entitles him; (2) the higher standard of efficiency of a teacher which, in the judg- ment of the board, Avill entitle him to receive annually compensa- RECLASSiriCATIOIT COMMISSIOlsr REPORT — PART I. 145 tion at the next higher rate prescribed for the chiss in which his position is phiced; (3) the standard of efficiency for a class below which no teacher maj- fall without being dismissed for inefficiency.
