S. C Campbell, civilian personnel chief, in a call to division and section chiefs requesting names of employes who could qualify for this type of promotion. Maj. Campbell said there was good reason to believe that documentary evidence, usually required in such advances, has been considwith-ingra- de . erably lessened. In Indicating several types of cases deserving of such consideration, Maj. Campbell said that initiative and performance displayed over and above normal job requirements would have to be considered relatively; that is, with relation to the job itself. He said, for instance, that what would be heroism for a bookkeeper in case of fire might be routine . work for a firefighter. Exemplary performance of assigned tasks, setting a record of achievement in regular working hours, inspiring others to improve quality and quantity of performance were submitted as justification for a meritorious promotion. Other qualifying examples cited were extraordinary initiative resulting in improved work methods, distinguished achievement involv ing the improvement of morale of workers with a consequent saving in manpower and time, the inven tion of mechanical devices or the introduction of working processes contributing to safety and health, heroism on duty, and development of outstanding training methods with subsequent savings in labor and time. Maj. Campbell said that salary advancements for meritorious services may not be granted solely on the basis of long and faithful service, seniority, and excellent efficiency rating, extensive overtime, or heavy work load. . . he continued, may Neither, ad- vancements be granted to adjust salaries to cost of living or to prevailing rates of pay, to correct salary disparities, or to retain employes in the service when higher grade positions are unavailable. Meritorious within-grad- e salary increases or promotions apply only to graded positions. For ungraded employes, pay increases within two major salary levels, as between $1500 and $1860, are made under different regulations than those prevailing for graded positions.
