R E P O R T O F COMMITTEE ON CIVIL SERVICE AND EMPLOYEES

At this point, Mr. Livingston asked Mr. Adams to present the following recommendations of the committee on Civil Service and Employees.

TEMPORARY SALARY AND W A G E INCREASES

It is proposed that the salaries and wages of certain staff members and employees of the University of Illinois in lower salary brackets in all divisions of the University, except as otherwise noted, shall be granted a temporary increase in rate of compensation in accordance with the plan hereinafter stated: 1. Time Effective: January 1, 1943, to June 30, 1943. This will terminate automatically at that date unless other funds are secured. (The University hopes to continue these temporary increases until August 31, 1943. It expects to ask the General Assembly for funds out of which these increases can be extended into the next biennium and further adjustments made. Such extensions and adjustments will depend on whether funds can be secured for these purposes.) 2. Staff Members Eligible: (a) All members of the academic staff employed at an annual full-time rate of not over $1,800 for the academic year and in service on or before October 1, 1942. (b) All non-academic employees in service on October 1, 1942, at an annual full-time rate of not over $1,800. (c) The temporary increases shall not apply automatically to persons employed from self-supporting or special funds, but will depend on the availability of those funds to meet such increases. 3. Amount: Temporary increases shall be made as follows: (a) $10 a month to all full-time academic staff members covered, (b) $10 a month to all non-academic employees in service on or before March 1, 1942. (c) $5 a month to all non-academic employees employed since March I, 1942. (d) Part-time employees will be granted increases approximately proportionate to the relation of their time to full time, no increase to be less than $5 a month, (e) Automatic adjustments under this plan shall not result in an annual full-time salary rate of over $1,900, and further adjustments may be made in salaries between $1,800 and $1,900 for the purpose of equalization, provided no such salary will go above $1,900. 4. Adjustments: This temporary increase shall be omitted in groups which have already received adjustments equal to or exceeding those recognized in the recent statement of the President of the United States regarding salary and wage increases. Administrative officers shall have the authority to omit or reduce the temporary increase in individual cases where such reductions or omissions would be in the best interest of the service. 5. Federal Approval: All changes herein recommended are subject to whatever Federal approval may be necessary under the recent order concerning salaries and wages.

On motion of Mr. Adams, this adjustment of salaries and wages was authorized, within the funds available, and an appropriation of $75,ooo was made from lapsed salaries, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Livingston, Dr. Meyer; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.
