Grantor of Sick Leaves.

The order provides that hereafter the

or division chief over the employe seek
Ing the sick leave, instead of by the di-
vision of appointments. as is the present
practice. Secretary MacVeagh believes
that a bureau or division chief who is
capable Of administering the affairs Of
his bureau or division is better qualified
than any one else In the department to
decide whether an application for sick
leave should be granted.
When an employee Is transferred from
another executive department or indie

Treasury Department he Is to be given
credit on the basis of the new regulations
for the unused portion of his annual and
sick leave in the department or indie

which he is transferred. Under the old
regulations no transfer Of time due from
other departments, or Independent bu-
reaus for services rendered was allowed.

rate Of on days per month from the date
Of transfer only. In the opinion of Secre-
tary MacVeagh the operation of this reg

particularly where the employe so trans
ferred had been unable prior to the date
of such transfer to obtain any annual or

Treasury Employees to Have
Only Ten Days a Year.
SECRETARY ISSUES ORDER
Mr.. MacVeagh Believes Privileg,
Has Been Abused.
NEW RULE AS TO TIME LOST
Bureau or Division Chiefs to Be
Charged With Responsibility
Of Granting Leaves.

Employees of the Treasury Department,
hereafter will be granted only ten days
sick leave year, Instead of thirty days.
the present allowance
An order to this effect was issued today
by Secretary MacVeagh of the Treasury
The circular containing this order con-
tains also a number Of important changes
In the regulations for granting leaves.
Secretary MacVeagh believes, It is
stated In the order, that the sick-leave
privilege is much abused, and the new
regulation is designed to correct abuse.
Secretary MacVeagh has also made a
new rule dealing with clerks who are
tardy or who are excused during the day
Absence OF less than thirty minutes Is to
be charged against the clerk as thirty
minutes: absence Of more than thirty
minutes is to be charged in multiples of
thirty minutes.
This time is to be taken out Of the
clerks annual leave. Under the present
regulations. when an employee is tardy. or
IL excused during the day. the actual time
taken is charged against his leave record.
In this way. if an employe is minutes
late. or leaves the department for 3 min
utes, Z minutes or ID minutes, as the
case may be. the actual time lost Is
charged against his leave record.

Sick Leave May Accumulate.

While the new order restricts the sick
leave to ten days a year, provided sick
leave is taken each year, 1t permits an
accumulation of sick leave in cases where
the clerks have not used their sick leave
in previous years The order states:
Sick leave will be granted at the
rate Of ten days a year, but in order
that deserving employees may not suf-
fer by this regulation there be added
to the ten days. II necessary, any num-
Der of days the applicant may not have
used of his ten-day allowance in the
four preceding years, to a limit Of
thirty days in any one year.
Thus, where an emrlOye has had no
sick leave for four full years. in the next
year he may take the ten days allowed
him in the current year. and ii necessary
there may be added thereto twenty days
of the accumulated leave.
IF by any chance he is sick the follow
ing year he may also receive the ten
days for that year, to which may be
added. If necessary, the other twenty
days accumulated leave. This regulation
is practically the recommendation of the
Keep commission on this subject. 1t
