MCARL RESTRICTS PERSONNEL BOARD Hold Administrative Office Must Determine Number of Employes Needed. Jurisdiction of the Personnel Classi- fication Board was restricted Ml{ by Controller General McCarl, who, in a decision expected to be far-reaching, held that the board could allocate the duties of only one position in a Gov- ernment office where there were several persons doing identical work under this position, and that the number of per- sons necessary in such position to en- able the administrative office to per- form the work required of it by law was not for the determination of the board, but of the administrative office. ‘The question turns on a case coming out of the Treasury Department. It in- volves an employe, Harold H. Spang_of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. His salary had been cut $14.47 by Control- the law imj wpon it no responsi- bility rmcm. the number of persons necessary in such positions to enable th:“.ldx;ixmu;/e‘ olg;ehto perform the work required of it . “That is to say, when the authorized work of an office under the Government increases to such an extent as to neces- sitate the employment of additional per- sonnel for performance of dutles identi- cal with those which have already been finally allocated, there is not involved the creation of a new position within the meaning of the original classifica- tion act, such as is required to be allo- go':rdd by the Personnel Classification Creation of Positions. “For instance, if in an administrative office there are six stenographers en- {lm upon a certain class of work and he work has increased, reguiring an additional stenographer whose duties and responsibilities will be identical with the other six, there is not the creation of a new position, but only of an addi- tional position ef a grade and class al- ready allocated. “New positions which the administra- tive offices are required by the classifi- cation act to report to the board for approval of allocation are those having dutles and responsibilities which differ from existing allocated positions in the same bureau, office or other appropria- tion unit, and care should be exercised to submit all such positions promptly for allocation.” Controller's Warning. toq duties similar to but differing from existing positions. h“ t b‘: u:mdul'nod that th:;d dncllh:l; as aj " saf McCarl, “and that a pr’.eu:ev has grown up of administrative offices submitting a description of duties and responsi- bilities in all cases when either. new or additional ‘positions are to be filled.

Spang Protests. Spang protested the disalowance of the Controller General, contending he had been assigned to duty in the higher grade prior to November 1. 1928. The disallowance was on his salary for the . month of November. - McCarl reversed his previous decision and removed the disallowance. He went further, and laid down the gen- eral principal raised by the Spang case that the administrative office, and not the Personnel Classification Board, should control in the number of em- ployes needed to perform certain work which had previously been allocated.
