Civil Service Commission on
eral employee leaders to draft
Congress when it convenes next
month.
The original proposal was
found to be too complex to ad-
minister as we'll as lacking in
sufficient benefits to make il
worthwhile for Federal workers
and their families. The proposed
cost to Federal employees also was
found to be too high.
csc officials feel that the pro-
gram should be revised to pro-
vide more extensive long-term
protection to employees and their
families in cases of lengthy ILL
ness and disease which might re-
suit in their disqualification fol
many months or even years
This major disaster" type pro-
lection was lacking in the orig
inal plan.
Also, the cost to the employees
will be reduced. The original plan
called for employees with families
to pay two-thirds of the cost
which would amount to $l04 a
Year. The Government woulo
have paid a one-third share, OF
$50 annually. Single employees
would have paid $39 and the
Government SIG annually.
Employe groups protested thai
the employees share of the cost
was too high. And administra.
ttion officials have decided thai
the employe groups had a legiti.
mate complaint in this respect
Consequently, the cost to EN-.
ployes will be reduced. Also more
health-insurance protection vii
be provided.
A more simple system of ad-
ministering such a program i;
also being worked out. Many
private health and insurance
groups objected to the original
plan. 1t isn't too likely that they
will be entirely happy with the
revised plan. However. admin
stration officials feel, that with
Federal employe union support
the revised plan now being
worked out can win the approval
of Congress.
TIME LIMIT SET--The Civil
Service Commission has set 9
time of six months for Fedora
agency action in recommending
employees for sivil service status
when their jobs are brought into
the competitive civil service.
This applies mainly to Federal
jobs under the overseas CONVEX
sion program which becomes eff
fective next April. Twenty
thousand overseas jobs will be
brought under civil service.
The CSC emphasized that
this new policy does not apply
to conversions of indefinite and
temporary Federal employees to
career or status in Gov
eminent agencies in this coun-
try under terms of the career
conversion law approved by
Congress this year.
PROBATIONARY PERIO
WAIVED-The Civil Servic e
Commission has ruled that Fed
eral employees who were not
eligible for conversion to status
under the presidential executive
order Of last January %, but
who later obtained regular
status through competitive
exams. do not need to serve a
new probationary period.
This was done to give these
employees equal footing with in
definite and temporary employees
now receiving status under the
recent conversion law. The law
approved by Congress does not
require these employees to serve
new one-year probat ionary
periods.
The csc also applied the
same ruling to employees who re-
ceived their status between the
time of last January 23d's

The reason for seeding In early
September is that the bluegrasses

seed earlier because we so often
