CONTENTS Page Report of the Civil Service Commission 9 Report of the Chief Personnel Officer 18 Appendix—Statistics 20 Report of the Civil Service Commission Pursuant to Section 7 of the " Civil Service Act," from January 1st to December 31st, 1958 Changes in personnel of the Civil Service Commission and its staff, greater attention to the utilization of staff in the Civil Service, implementation upon a retroactive basis of a general Civil Service salary increase, and continued salary surveys and discussions with employee organizations were general features of the year 1958 in regard to the administration of the Government's personnel. The Commission continued to render assistance and advice to establishments not under the jurisdiction of the " Civil Service Act." Recruitment and selection activities were at a reduced pace, consistent with the slower economic tempo of business and industry. CHANGES IN COMMISSION PERSONNEL By Order in Council No. 1595, approved July 4th, 1958, Mr. E. R. Rickinson was appointed a member of the Commission. Mr. Rickinson is Deputy Minister of Welfare. He has been some thirty years in the Civil Service, and hence brings to the Commission a thorough knowledge of the Service. In March the Commission received, with great regret, the resignation of the Chief Personnel Officer, Mr. R. L. W. Ritchie, who accepted a position in personnel administration with the Civil Service Commission of Canada. Mr. Ritchie served this Commission faithfully and competently for some thirteen years. As a result of this loss, some adjustments and slight reorganization in the Commission staff became necessary. Mr. A. G. Richardson was promoted from Classification Officer to Chief Personnel Officer and given full charge of the technical staff. Mr. D. J. Slader, of the Classification Division, won, by open competition, a promotion to the position of Chief Selection Officer, and Miss J. Meryl Campbell was reclassified to Personnel Officer—Grade 2, in view of her assumption of the Commission training programme in addition to her duties in the Recruitment and Selection Division. Mr. Kenneth M. Hanson was appointed in October to the staff as a Personnel Officer—Grade 1, in the Classification Division, under the direct supervision of the Chief Personnel Officer. Mr. R. D. Higgins was reclassified in the Classification Division from Personnel Assistant to Personnel Officer—Grade 1. SIZE AND COMPOSITION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE On December 31st, 1957, the total number of probationary and permanent Civil Servants was 8,722 (see Appendix, Table 3, Annual Report for 1957); the corresponding number at December 31st, 1958, was 8,349 (see Appendix, Table 3), a decrease of 373. The gross total (including temporary or casual employees) at the end of 1957 was 9,621; the corresponding number at the end of 1958 was 9,263, a decrease of 358. All departments, except two which showed no change and one which had an increase of eleven, were able to effect staff decreases. The fact that this was accomplished in spite of increasing services indicates the increasing efficiency of the British Columbia Civil Service. Officers of the Commission and respective departmental officials are constantly studying staff organization and work procedures so as to effect the maximum utilization of the work force. Requisitions for staff are closely examined, and departmental supervisors report on the exact volume of work to be performed in each vacancy. Data were obtained from the departments in which vacancies occurred, and reports were prepared on 578 requisitions. In addition, excellent departmental co-operation was received in " loaning " staff to departments at times of peak loads. X 10 BRITISH COLUMBIA APPOINTMENTS During the year 1,571 appointments were made {see Appendix, Table 2), as compared to 2,794 appointments made during 1957, a decrease of 1,223 or 43.79 per cent. The number of appointments to probationary-permanent positions amounted to 885; the remainder, 686, were appointments to casual or temporary positions. The Chief Selection Officer reports that the number of staff requisitions processed, dealing with the Civil Service, amounted to 2,772, as against 4,151 in 1957, reflecting a substantial decline in recruiting activity, approximating the 2,626 processed in 1955. Of these personnel transactions, 1,524 were initiated in the Victoria office, 781 were initiated in the Essondale office, and 467 were initiated in the Vancouver office. In addition, there were 126 requisitions initiated in the Vancouver office on behalf of the Haney Correctional Institution and the British Columbia Toll Highways and Bridges Authority, which are not under the jurisdiction of the " Civil Service Act." SEPARATIONS The number of separations of all types from the Civil Service was 1,979, which is a decrease of 710 or 26 per cent of the 2,689 for 1957, a significant decline. Using the formula of— Number of separations X ioo Total enrolment including casuals as a measure of the degree of staff turnover, the turnover for 1958 was— 1,979 X100—21.36 9,263 For comparison purposes, this formula is applied to similar figures for recent postwar years, as follows:— Year Total Separations Enrolment! at Dec. 31 Turnover Rate 1949 1,255 1,418 1,963 1,992 2,187 2,529 2,388 2,637 2,689 1,979 7,345 7,694 7,994 8,543 8,543 8,523 8,893 9,270 9,621 9,263 17.09 1950 18.43 1951 24.56 1952 23.32 1953 25.60 1954 .... . 26.67 1955.. 26.85 1956 .. . 28.45 1957 27.84 1958 21.36 1 Including casual employees. As indicated toward the end of 1957, the turnover rate declined considerably during 1958, to the lowest level since before 1951. The turnover rates (in terms of percentage separations are to enrolment in the group), according to the classification groups during the past three years, were as follows:— Group Year 1956 1957 1958 32 26 33 18 32 25 21 20 20 15 9 17 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT X 11 The figures for 1958 indicate a much more satisfactory and balanced condition than those during the past few years. The professional group is still unsatisfactory, and perhaps only the forthcoming increases in university graduating classes will materially improve the situation. The reduction in turnover in the clerical group is a change that has already been reflected in increased efficiency. The time that has been saved in training a smaller number of recruits has resulted in staff reductions and the handling of increased work volumes by existing staffs. From present indications, it appears unlikely that the turnover figures will change significantly in 1959. The reasons for turnover are roughly tabulated in Table 6 of the Appendix. One thousand five hundred and thirteen resigned from the Service, 66 were superannuated, 24 died, 53 transferred from the Civil Service, 333 (including 121 of the Tranquille Hospital) concluded their appointments, and 36 were dismissed for cause. According to termination of employment reports to the Commission, reasons given during the past six years are detailed percentagewise (that is, percentage of total reported separations), as follows:— Reasons for Leaving Per Cent 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 9 17 12 8 18 7 29 8 18 12 8 201 4 30 9 19 13 7 26i 4 22 7 22 14 9 371 4 7 5 26 11 9 331 5 11 7 34 10 111 health... 9 26> 6 Miscellaneous or unknown 8 1 Includes enlistment in Her Majesty's forces. It is significant, as this tabulation shows, that 1958 reveals a substantial increase for separations due to uncontrollable marital reasons, and a substantial decrease for the reasons of accepting other employment. Greater efficiency and stability is also indicated by the reduction in the number of dismissals for cause, being thirty-six as opposed to sixty-four in 1957. The following tabulation indicates the number of suspensions, dismissals, and probationary period extensions during the past seven years:— 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 Number of Civil Servants whose probationary periods were extended— .— ..

At the Victoria centre a total of 652 applicants were tested. Of this number, 407 or 58 per cent qualified as follows:— X 12 BRITISH COLUMBIA Classification Number Examined Number Qualified Per Cent Qualified Clerk-Typist Junior Clerk -.. Clerk—Grade 1.

At Essondale, steno-clerical tests were administered to eighty-one applicants, of which seventy-seven or 95 per cent qualified. In examinations for truck-driver, five of the nineteen applicants passed, or 27 per cent.

COMPETITIONS FOR PROMOTION Of the number of vacancies offering promotional opportunities, 369 or 65 per cent were filled from within the Service and 197 or 35 per cent were filled from outside the Service. The number of promotional appointments made from one department to another department amounted to the not insignificant number of seventy, or 19 per cent. This latter figure is significant because it indicates that successful efforts are being exerted against tendencies, common in many services, of departmental insularity. The following tabulation illustrates the operation of the promotional policy during the past three years:— 1955 1956 1957 1958 Number Per Cent Number Per Cent Number Per Cent Number Per Cent 373 318 54 46 361 646 36 64 384 346 53 47 369 197 65 Outside appointments 35 Totals Promotions made from one department to another 691 44 100 12 1,007 67 100 19 730 60 100 15 566 100 1 1 70 | 19 Total number of requisitions pro- 2.626 4,404 4.151 2,772 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT X 13 In the Mental Health Services, included in the above tabulation, there were forty-nine promotions made from the eligibility list to assistant and charge psychiatric nursing positions. IN-SERVICE TRAINING As reported in the Chief Personnel Officer's report (see page 18), the Executive Development Training Course had another successful year, with the completion of second-year courses by the first class and the first-year courses by the second class. A third class of thirty students started the first-year courses in September. Sixty-four assessors and appraisers from various departments and some municipalities completed correspondence courses and attended a two-week institute, and wrote an Appraiser I Course leading to accreditation by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. Arrangements for further courses were completed for 1959. For the first year since 1950 it was impossible to conduct supervisory training courses. However, it is planned to resume them in 1959. THE VANCOUVER OFFICE During 1958 this office continued to be engaged in recruiting and placing personnel, assessing positions for classification purposes, conducting staff and organizational surveys, and investigating grievances and advising officials on matters relating to personnel practices as they concern the Government offices and institutions situated on the Lower Mainland. Recruiting and placement activities carried out during the year resulted in a total of 593 appointments (777 in 1957) to fill a wide variety of clerical, technical, and professional positions. As in previous years, all candidates for clerical and stenographic positions were subjected to qualifying examinations. Formal written examinations were utilized also as a factor in the selection of personnel in technical classifications more extensively than had been done previously. The following table provides a summary of the clerical and stenographic examinations administered:— Passed Failed Junior Clerk 27 4 Clerk—Grade 1 42 11 Clerk-Typist—Grades 1 and 2 53 25 Clerk-Stenographers 59 19 Totals 181 59 Grand total, 240 During 1958 this office continued to provide assistance in recruiting personnel to departments of government which do not employ Civil Servants, and appreciation for such co-operation has been expressed by the supervisory officials of the Gaol Service, University Endowment Lands, and the Toll Highways and Bridges Authority. During the past year this office completed fifty-three investigations relative to position classifications and organizational requirements and continued checking the duties of positions becoming vacant to determine if changes in classification were warranted before a new appointment was made. THE ESSONDALE OFFICE For the first time since the opening of the Essondale office, complete recruiting for the Mental Health Services was assumed by the Commission. This was done in January, when the Essondale office was able to take full control of the recruitment and selection of psychiatric nurses and aides. This step resulted in the saving of considerable time of the X 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA senior nursing staff, thus allowing more time for their professional duties. It is to be expected that the selection of personnel will also improve, and there are signs to this effect. Extensive advertising for qualified psychiatric nurses was continued throughout British Columbia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. During the year forty-two psychiatric nurses who were graduates from schools other than Essondale were hired; sixteen of these were hired from Great Britain. In response to a recent policy of continuous advertising, 102 inquiries, including eighty from Great Britain, have been received and were being processed at the close of the year. The following tabulation shows the results of recruitment efforts in 1958. Recruitment of Psychiatric Nurses, 1958 Essondale graduates, 1958 class 80 Essondale graduates, other than 1958 class 81 Non-Essondale graduates— Great Britain 16 Saskatchewan 10 Manitoba 13 Alberta 3 Total 203 Percentage of non-Essondale graduates 20.6 Percentage of non-Essondale graduates hired, excluding 1958 graduating class 34 Female psychiatric nurses hired 154 Male psychiatric nurses hired 49 Generally, recruitment was favourable, with no difficulties in obtaining applicants, except in some professional areas such as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and dieticians. During 1958 the Essondale office processed 781 appointments, as opposed to 1,217 in 1957. Of these appointments, sixty-seven were to new positions and forty-nine were promotional appointments to assistant and charge psychiatric nursing positions. There were eighty-six formal competitions, including local postings for which there were 586 applicants. Of these, 277 or 47 per cent were interviewed, resulting in eighty-eight appointments. The remaining appointments—namely, 693, including nurses—were directly selected after interview and examination of qualifications. CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY PLAN As reported by the Chief Personnel Officer, position classification reviews continued at approximately the same number as during 1957. Because of the change of personnel, no complete record, as in former years, was kept. Position classification studies and recommendations resulted in the deletion of twenty-nine titles, the institution of thirty- two new titles, changes in forty-one titles, and increase in salaries for thirty-two classifications. The implementation, retroactive to July 1st, 1957, of revised salaries to the entire Government service involved a huge task upon both the Classification Division and the Salary Recording Section. The salaries or salary ranges for practically all positions were revised upwards to the amount of IVi per cent additional to the Government's payroll. The volatile wage situation in industry and business makes it imperative for the Classification Division to be constantly conducting wage surveys in various occupational areas. The results of these surveys are discussed with departments of the Government and with employee associations who make salary representations to the Government. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT X 15 DEPARTMENTAL ESTABLISHMENTS The following tabulation illustrates the number of positions added to and the number of positions deleted from the permanent establishment of the various departments during the year:— Number of Positions Added to and Deleted from Establishments Department Agriculture _ Addition 1 Deletion l Attorney-General 1 Education 5 Health 1 122 Hospital Insurance . ■ . : Welfare Highways 24 Industrial Development, Trade, Labour _. and Commerce— 2 Lands 2 Forests Mines 1 Municipal Affairs - Provincial Secretary 95 3 Public Utilities Commission 1 Public Works . 19 Railways 1 Recreation and Conservation Totals 108 171 Formal organization studies were completed in nine branches, and a number of miscellaneous studies, as outlined in the Chief Personnel Officer's report, were carried out. SICK AND SPECIAL LEAVE Sick-leave granted during the twelve-month period from October 1st, 1957, to September 30th, 1958, totalled 62,097 days—51,111 days with pay and 10,986 days without pay, an average of 6.54 days (see Table 5, Appendix), an increase of 0.69 day over the average for the previous twelve-month period, 5.85 days. These figures do not include sick-leave granted under the Workmen's Compensation Board and under the Department of Veterans' Affairs section of the Sick-leave Regulations. The average number of days' sick-leave per employee for the past nine years is shown hereunder, and may be found interesting for comparison purposes:— Year Ended Sept. 30 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 The average daily salary for the year from October 1st, 1957, to September 30th, 1958, was $14.03, thus the cost of sick-leave with pay for the above 51,111 days was $717,087. However, in most instances the absences were not of lengthy duration and required no payment for relief assistance.

Two employees were granted leave to serve with the United Nations Organization in South-east Asia. Special leave of absence for the purpose of further training and study, for varying periods, was granted to fifty employees, some with assistance provided, as in previous years, from Federal health grant funds. A report of the activity of the Employees' Health Service in Victoria is included in the Annual Report of the Health Branch, Department of Health and Welfare. GRIEVANCES No formal grievances were presented to the Commission during the year. CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS With the full co-operation of the various departments, a revision was effected in the system of merit rating, so as to eliminate unnecessary reporting by decreasing the number of reports upon the great mass of generally satisfactory employees. At the same time, some reporting was extended to cover many classes, such as single salary classifications, which previously had only been reported upon when completing probationary appointments. In brief, more employees will be reported upon, but not so frequently as heretofore. The manual of instruction to supervisors on how to rate employees was also revised. As an aid in the recruitment of professional personnel, the Commission issued a booklet entitled "Careers in the British Columbia Civil Service for University Graduates," which is being placed in the University and colleges and is available to high-school counsellors. The usual certificates, signed by the Premier, testifying to twenty-five years of service, were sent to thirty-two employees. By Order in Council No. 2426/58, the regulations governing the application of the " Unemployment Insurance Act" to Provincial Government employees was amended to exempt registered nurses from the regulations. The schedule bond, covering all Provincial Government employees, was renewed for a three-year period, as a result of a public call for tenders, again at a very satisfactory premium price. The coverage for each employee was increased from $10,000 to $50,000. The Chairman of the Commission appeared as the principal witness for the counsel who presented the Government's case to the Board of Reference inquiring into the operation of the "Civil Service Act" in respect to the Government's relations with its employees. In June it was the pleasant duty of the Chairman to preside over the Western Regional Conference of the Public Personnel Association, in Vancouver. The conference, composed of delegates from many government agencies from Western North America and Hawaii, was addressed by speakers of national and international repute. You, as Provincial Secretary, were extremely gracious in bringing the good wishes of our Government to the conference. Good personnel selection results in a satisfied public and efficient service. The Commission's personnel office in Vancouver has actively assisted the Toll Highways and Bridges Authority in its selection of staff, a task which the Commission is only too pleased to render. Soon after the opening of the Nelson Toll Bridge, the Nelson Daily News reported in part:— " While much has been said regarding Nelson's new toll bridge and the charge for crossing it, no mention has been made of the men who staff the toll station, . . . it is to be congratulated on its selection of personnel. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT X 17 "As ambassadors of good will for the city, Nelson would have a difficult time selecting a better group of people. . . ." ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Once more the Commission renews its annual thanks to all departments of Government and to the various Provincial and Federal Civil Service Commissions for the wholehearted co-operation received. The Government Agents of the Department of Finance have again rendered ready assistance in supervising local recruitment in the junior level steno-clerical positions. The Commission also stands indebted to you, as Provincial Secretary, for your ready assistance, goodwill, and understanding. To each member of its technical and clerical staffs, it wishes to express acknowledgment for good work and loyal support. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. H. M. Morrison, Chairman. J. V. Fisher, Member. E. R. Rickinson, Member. ■■ . X 18 BRITISH COLUMBIA REPORT OF THE CHIEF PERSONNEL OFFICER A. G. Richardson, M.A. The bulk of the technical work during the first quarter of the year, apart from classification reviews, was concerned with wage adjustments and the implementation of the general wage increase on a retroactive basis to July 1st, 1957. During the remainder of the year the classification staff was occupied with wage surveys, classification reviews, and miscellaneous assignments. Wage surveys involved a large number of separate surveys covering every type of worker within the Civil Service as well as a number outside of the Civil Service. These, in conjunction with the Bureau of Economics and Statistics wage survey, were used to compile a comprehensive report on salaries. In this connection, numerous meetings were held with officials of the British Columbia Government Employees' Association, which also completed many wage surveys. Results were compared, argued, and discussed, and eventually the great majority of appropriate wage rates were agreed upon. There was disagreement on a few classes, such as clerical workers and psychiatric nurses, and the general secretary of the Employees' Association and the Chief Personnel Officer presented their views to the Civil Service Commission in these cases. The classification reviews continued at approximately the same number as the previous year, though no complete record was kept due to the change in personnel. The percentage of reviews resulting in a recommendation for no change increased. One Personnel Officer recommended no change in 50 per cent of his reviews and another 30 per cent. A number of studies of establishment and organization were completed. They were as follows:— (1) Civil Service Commission Professional Staff. (2) Official Administrator's Office. (3) Engineering Positions in the Water Rights Branch. (4) Department of Recreation and Conservation, Parks Branch. (5) Personnel Function, Department of Finance. ( 6 ) Civil Defence Organization. (7 ) Department of Education—Senior Positions. (8) Administration Branch, Department of Mines. (9) Accounting Office, Department of Lands. Miscellaneous studies included:— (1) Arranging Temporary Transfers of Staffs during Peak Periods. (2) Promotions of Clerk-Stenographers—Grade 2 on Basis of Production and Merit Standards. (3) Survey of Procedures with Respect to Vacations and Statutory Holidays. (4) Review of Service Bonus. (5) Review of Shift Overlaps in Mental Hospitals. (6) Revision of Employee Ratings. (7) Surveys of Fringe Benefits. (8) Survey of Leave for Pregnancy. (9) Survey of Substitution Regulations. TRAINING The Executive Development Training Course continued successfully during the year. Twenty-one departmental officers completed the second year of training and twenty-nine completed the first year of the course. These employees attended a two-week institute at the University of British Columbia, and the marks were uniformly very good. In addition, thirty employees were selected for the third class, which commenced in September, 1958. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT X 19 A sub-committee was established to assess the training programme during the 1958/59 term. Subjects in the third (and final year) include Public Finance, Statistics, and Personnel Management. Three editions of " Supervision—Tips for Supervisors " were distributed to all supervisors. In conjunction with the Appraisal Institute of Canada and with the assistance of the British Columbia Department of Education and the Federal Department of Labour, two courses in Appraisal I were given to Provincial Government employees and to municipal assessors. Sixty-seven candidates completed the correspondence section of the course and attended a two-week institute. All candidates wrote qualifying examinations administered by the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and sixty-four were successful in the Appraisal I examination. Arrangements have now been made to give two courses in Appraisal II and one course in Appraisal I in 1959. Candidates who successfully complete Appraisal II can then proceed on their own time to become accredited appraisers. It is felt that these courses will raise the standard of appraisals of land and real property. The Commission is greatly indebted to the British Columbia Department of Education, the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and the senior employees who formed the committee entrusted with making the arrangements for these courses.
