Changes appear likely in state civil service system
A feature recommended in a report calling for changes in the Kansas civil service system already has been put into effect at the University of Kansas,
Position allocation—the creation of positions to fill voids in the University's civil service staff—has brought KU more emphasis on its academic stand, director of central personnel at KU.
THE GROUP presented its 200-page
paper, to the legislature in January
to the legislature in January.
The report, which reinforces the process, was issued by a study group under the direction of the Kansas Department of Agriculture in Hunson, Harrison, a federal civil service employee.
Commissioned by the legislature, the
sanction group sought to find ways to smooth
the process.
It made 19 recommendations for legislative action and 32 more for administrative action. Some of the recommendations overlan.
"What the study indicates is that the state行政法规 has become, concerned about how to govern it."
Honor recital tomorrow night
Eight students in the School of Fine Arts are to present the spring semester honors recital at 8 tomorrow evening in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The eight were selected earlier this semester from 22 students who auditioned for the course. Faculty selection panel, said yesterday. Selections are made on the basis of performance quality, phrasing, musicianship and stage presence during the audition.
The recital will last about an hour. Admission is free.
Students appearing in the honors recital will be: Martin Agee, Fort Collins sophomore (violin); Becker, Lawrence junior (voice); Carla Edwards, Eudora junior (organ); Bairnfalr, Alanson, Mich., senior (organ); Sarah Monk, senior (organ); Mackenzie Morley, Big Sandy, Mont., junior (piano); Janice Paradis, St. Louis sophomore (piano); and Arnold Stricker, St. Louis junior (clarinet).
yesterday. "It represents some enlightened thought on the part of the legislature."
Although the Hanson report itself won't be very influential, he said, it has begun processes that will benefit the civil service system in Kansas.
THE CIVIL service system is due for minor structural changes if legislation requires it.
Two Senate bills, containing verbatim passages of the Hannon report, are aimed at making the system more personal and at some technical aspects of the system.
One of these, SB 445, calls for revision of the sick leave policy and personnel allocation authority. It would also make a wage and salary survey mandatory.
SICK LEAVE policy would be amended to guarantee that unclassified state employees would get no better sick leave benefits than classified employees.
The personnel allocation authority would decentralize the state system's power to regulate the number of classified positions at an institution.
The wage and salary survey would consider civil service compensations to keep track of underpayments and overpayments and needed cost of living in
SB 445 also would make a name change. The Civil Service Commission would be known as the Civil Service Board if the bill is approved.
IN OTHER STATES, Feldstein explained, the term commission refers to an administrative department. Because the Kansas commission is a hearing board for appeals, the name needs to be changed to reflect this status.
Feldstein, who was a consultant for the Hanson report, said the bill was an attempt to get away from the service's image of stringent control.
The other bill SB 444 calls for the legislature to change the name of the Division of Personnel to Division of Personnel Services.
"THE REPORT represents a more progressive beginning on the part of the legislature and on the part of the civil service system." Feldstein said.
The report supported a decentralization of personnel allocation, which Feldstein said was initiated at KU before the report was issued.
The state was urged to give up much of its power in allocating classified positions at the local level.
Previously, institutions such as KU had to

INCENTIVE AND motivation plans for employees were criticized in the report, and the report suggested a new definition of the veteran's point system to streamline the program. The number of points a veter accrues determines the benefits he will get.

KU EMPLOYES 1,220 classified employees who are an equivalent full time (EFT) employee.
Even before the recommendation was considered by the legislature, KU had been 80 per cent successful in getting the positions it wanted. But before the trend to decentralize started, KU had been totally dependent on the state.
A 2.5 per cent across-the-board increase being considered by the legislature is the only help for many employees who are at the top of their pay scales, officials say. Some will get a periodic step increase plus the proposed 2.5 per cent, but others at the top of their scales will be limited to the legislative markup.

In compiling the report, the study group considered comments from corporations,

"THAT WILL have more impact on salaries, salary equity and the meager cost of living increases," Foldtstein said. "The Harron report is a direct response to the Harson report."
Total classified salaries for the 1977 fiscal year are budgeted for $43,410.
