These meetings\ndid not include 10 others to hear grievances from individuals and groups of employees. The hearings involving individuals were concerned primarily with the\nintentions of departments to dismiss the employee. All 10 were of this nature, of\nwhich nine were ruled in favour of the department, and one in favour of the\nemployee. One ruling of the Commission was appealed to the Lieutenant-Governor\nin Council, and in this case the Commission's ruling was upheld.\nIn addition to grievances heard by the Commission, the Chief Personnel Officer\nmediated 20 grievances between individual employees and the departments.\nThe Screening Committee, which deals with problems of employees who are\nunable to perform their duties due to ill-health, dealt With 10 cases during the year.\nFive of these were re-established in different types of employment, two retired, and\nthree are pending.\nThe review of the Sick Leave Regulation which was commenced in 1968 was\ncompleted in 1969. The Commission's recommendations to eliminate the waiting\nperiod when no sick leave was available and to increase the maximum amount of\nsick leave accumulating, from 126 days to 250 days, were approved. The Commission also recommended a change in the regulation to provide for leave of absence\nfor pregnancy.   This was approved.\nA study of the entire grievance procedures was started, and is continuing.\nFor the eighth consecutive year, pay increases were granted to all Government\nemployees in 1969, amounting to an average of about 8Vi per cent of payroll.\nThere were 476 employees throughout the Civil Service with disabilities ranging\nfrom coronary conditions and crippling defects from poliomyelitis to respiratory\nailments and amputations. The Commission continues to promote the gainful\nemployment of handicapped persons who, by and large, become conscientious and\ndedicated employees.\nSIZE AND COMPOSITION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE\nOn December 31, 1969, there were 27,081 Government employees (see Table\n1 of the Appendix). OnDecember 31, 1968, there were 25,438 employees. Hence,\nthere was an increase of 1,643 employees. The largest increases in numbers of\nemployees were in the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of Education, the Mental Health Services, the Department of Highways, the Forest Service,\nthe Department of Public Works, and the British Columbia Ferries Division.\nOf the 27,081 Government employees, 15,566 were classed as permanent\nemployees and 11,515 were classed as temporary employees. In 1968 there were\n15,148 permanent employees and 10,290 temporary employees.\nThe following graph indicates the percentage of employees within each of the\nmajor occupational groups in the main Civil Service schedules:\u2014\n11\n X  12\n40%\n35%\n30%\n25%\n20%\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\n15%\n10%\n34%\n30%\n15%\n\u25a0;\u25a0\u25a0\"\u2014 \"\n 2%\nAdministrative\nand\nExecutive\nGroups\nClerical\nGroup\nTechnical\nGroup\nProfessional\nGroup\nManual\nGroup\nThe clerical and technical groups were 1 per cent less than in 1968, whereas\nthe professional and manual groups both increased by 1 per cent.\nSEPARATIONS\nDuring the year, 2,912 employees left permanent positions within the Civil\nService. This represents a turnover of 18.7 per cent. In 1968, 2,678 employees\nleft permanent positions, representing a turnover of 17.7 per cent.\nThe following graph shows the percentage of turnover in each year since 1960.\n30%\n259\n20%\n15%\n10%\n5%\nRATE OF TURNOVER\n15.98    16.32    16.28    17.19    17.64     18.3     19.2     17.7\n18.7\n1960\n1961\n1962\n1964\nYEAR\n1965\n1966\n1967\n1968\nDuring 1968, 50 employees were dismissed as unsatisfactory, the probationary\nperiods of 90 employees were extended, and merit increases were withheld in the\ncase of 41 employees.\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969\nX 13\nRECRUITING AND SELECTION DIVISION\nGeneral\nThe Civil Service Commission, with headquarters in Victoria, operates branch\noffices of the Recruiting and Selection Division at Vancouver and Essondale. The\nbranch offices' reports follow this general recruiting summary.\nRebounding from the temporary easing of recruiting demands in 1968, the\nRecruiting Division set new all-time records in 1969. Total positions filled were\nup 14.5 per cent, persons taking written examinations were up 19.5 per cent, and\ncompetitions conducted by the Civil Service Commission were up 30 per cent. The\nincrease was due partly to a rise in turnover rate and partly due to the addition of\nsome 500 new positions to departmental establishments. There were expansions\nin the Ferries Division, Mental Health Services, motor-vehicle inspection stations,\nvocational and technical training, and Water Resources and Pollution Control, to\nmention a few. During mid-summer, a serious backlog of requisitions and competitions developed, requiring exceptional efforts on the part of all of the staff and some\ntemporary relief assistance. The death in-Service, in the spring, of the Personnel\nOfficer assigned to the British Columbia Ferries Division threw an extra load on the\nrecruiting staff, but fortunately, within the Recruiting and Selection Division itself,\nthere was little staff turnover during the year.\nWith the salary adjustments coming into effect at the beginning of the fiscal\nyear in April, there was generally less difficulty in recruiting at the lower and intermediate levels in most classifications. The demand continued in some areas of\nshort supply such as qualified hydraulic and pollution-control engineers, audit\naccountants, experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, foresters,\nCanadian-trained agriculturists, and senior economists.\nThe following table illustrates the major breakdown of recruiting and selection\nactivities as distributed between the Commission's three offices:\u2014\n X 14\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nDistribution of Work Load\n1968\n1969\nPer Cent\nChange\nfrom 1968\n1969\nDistribution\nRequisitions and requests for staff\u2014\u25a0\nVictoria \t\nEssondale \t\nVancouver _\t\nTotals\t\nCompetitions\u2014\nVictoria  -\t\nEssondale  \t\nVancouver\t\nTotals  \t\nExaminations  (persons taking written examinations)\u2014\nVictoria\t\nEssondale..  .\t\nVancouver \t\nTotals _ \t\nAppointments (initial hiring)\u2014\nVictoria -\t\nEssondale \t\nVancouver.... -\t\nTotals... \t\nTotal positions filled (including competitions) \u2014\nVictoria - \t\nEssondale  -\t\nVancouver \t\nTotals \t\n4,072\n1,427\n518\n6,017\n746\n209\n125\n1,080\n2,137\n175\n522\n2,834\n2,624\n3,225\n1,436\n524\n5,185\n4,454\n2,040\n586\n7,080\n1,004\n268\n152\n2,546\n277\n564\n3,387\n2,397\n1,249 1,594\nI\n382        | 395\nI\n3,427\n1,857\n596\n5,940\n4,255        |        4,386\n+9.1\n+43.0\n+ 13.1\n+ 17.7\n+34.6\n+28.2\n+21.6\n|        1,424 +30.9\n+ 19.2\n+58.3\n+8.0\n+ 19.5\n\u20148.6\n+27.6\n+3.4\n+3.1\n+ 8.1\n+29.3\n+ 13.1\n+ 14.5\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969 X 15\nGENERAL ENTRANCE AND PROMOTIONAL EXAMINATIONS\nExaminations to establish qualified lists for such positions as stenographer,\ntypist, clerk, and draughtsman were held as follows:\u2014\nClassification\nNumber of\nOccasions\nNumber\nExamined\nNumber\nQualified\nPer Cent\nQualified\nVictoria\nClerk-Typist-\nClerk-\t\nClerk-Stenographer 1~\nClerk-Stenographer 2 .\nDraughtsman 1-\nDraughtsman 2 and 3\t\nKey-punch Operator\t\nData-processing Operator-\nPersonnel Officer\t\nAdministrative Officer\t\nSenior Examiner of Titles ....\nIndustrial Relations Officer-\nLabour Relations Officer\t\nLand Registry Officer\t\nPublic Information Officer-\nStationary Engineer\t\nBuilding Service Worker 4\u2014\nTotals, 1969..\nTotals, 1968-\nEssondale\nClerk-Typist 1_\nClerk 1 or 2\t\nClerk-Stenographer 1\u201e\nClerk-Stenographer 2 .\nFire Lieutenant\t\nCook 1\t\nCook 3 _ _.\nHairdresser\t\nDietary Aide 2\t\nSeamstress 2  \t\nCabinetmaker \t\nStationary Engineer Helper \t\nSuperintendent, Transportation and Vehicle Maintenance      \t\nAssistant Charge Psychiatric Nurse .\nTotals, 1969 \t\nTotals, 1968 .\nVancouver\nClerk-Typist..\nClerk \t\nClerk-Stenographer 1\t\nClerk-Stenographer 2 or 3_\nDraughtsman.\nClerk, Land Registry-\nClerk, Court Registry..\nKey-punch Operator-\nCook  \t\nPersonnel Officer \t\nSwitchboard Operator\t\nPublic Information Officer-\nStockman   \t\nMultilith Operator \t\nMiscellaneous clerical\t\nIndustrial Relations Officer-\nStationary Engineer Helper...\nBuilding Service Worker 4...\nTotals, 1969\t\nTotals, 1968.\n274\n55\n69\n84\n13\n3\n34\n5\n3\n2\n1\n3\n1\n2\n1\n1\n1\n552\n22\n21\n12\n50\n1\n2\n1\n1\n2\n1\n1\n2\n3\n4\n123\n89\n82\n112\n16\n89\n5\n2\n14\n1\n2\n6\n1\n2\n1\n4\n2\n1\n1\n341\n302\n900\n980\n158\n199\n104\n45\n47\n19\n30\n17\n5\n9\n3\n2\n11\n9\n571\n719\n110\n123\n82\n17\n47\n8\n14\n6\n4\n9\n3\n2\n6\n7\n3\n2,546\n1,731\n2,137\n1,380\n32\n37\n16\n65\n3\n14\n3\n2\n5\n2\n1\n5\n3\n89\n28\n27\n13\n63\n3\n6\n3\n2\n5\n2\n1\n3\n2\n74\n277\n232\n175\n118\n225\n20\n117\n13\n5\n17\n2\n5\n6\n1\n2\n1\n8\n9\n14\n1\n148\n98\n183\n16\n104\n4\n3\n14\n2\n2\n6\n2\n1\n7\n6\n12\n1\n564\n461\n522\n441\n63\n73\n70\n62\n79\n38\n100\n42\n47\n35\n80\n100\n100\n100\n55\n78\n38\n68\n65\n73\n81\n97\n100\n43\n100\n100\n100\n100\n100\n60\n67\n83\n84\n85\n83\n81\n80\n89\n~ii\n60\n82\n100\n40\n100\n100\n100\n87\n67\n86\n100\n82\nIn total, 3,387 persons sat for the foregoing examinations during 1969. There\nwere increases at all three centres with the large increase at Essondale being due,\nin part, to a change in examination schedules.    Seventy-one per cent of the appli-\n X 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA\ncants qualified.  The examinations were held on 552 separate occasions in Victoria,\n341 occasions in Vancouver, and 123 occasions at Essondale.\nCompetitions for Promotion\nApart from appointments through entrance examinations, there were 1,424\ncompetitions held in 1969. This was an increase of 344, or 30.9 per cent over\nthe previous year, and is the first year that the total number has exceeded 1,300.\nOf these competitions, 258 were handled by the Civil Service Commission Personnel\nOfficer attached to the British Columbia Ferries Division. Civil Service Commission\nofficers did not participate in 41 competitions which were delegated to such agencies\nas the Provincial Gaol Service. With the pressure of work, a considerable number of\ncompetitions were also handled to the point of final recommendation by departmental Personnel Officers and Government Agents, whose assistance was much\nappreciated. Excluding several competitions in which there were no applicants\nand six competitions with over 100 applicants, the average number of applications\nreceived per competition during 1969 was 11.9. These competitions resulted in\n1,554 candidates being appointed to the various Government departments and\nagencies. Seventy-one per cent of these appointments were promotions within the\nService and the remainder were initial appointments. The number of promotional\nappointments made from one department to another was 136. This was 12.3 per\ncent of the in-Service promotions which, although less than the previous year, still\nrepresents a very high level of inter-departmental mobility. The reduced percentage\nfrom the previous year is largely due to the agreement with the British Columbia\nFerries' employees which places great stress on seniority in promotions. Because\nof limited response at the Clerk 3 and 4 and Clerk-Stenographer 3 level from\nqualified in-Service candidates, competitions at this level were opened during the\nyear to the general public. There were, in total, 702 competitions of all kinds\nopen to the general public.\nA graph on promotional policy follows:\u2014\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969\nX  17\n75%\n65%\n60%\n55%\n50%\n45%\n405\n35%\n309\n25%\n20%\n15%\n10%\n5%\n71%\n66%^^^^^\nklc\/c^^0l*00*'^\nPROMOTIONS FRON\nI WITHIN THE SERVI\nCE\n41%\n42%\nAPPOINTMENTS FR\nOM OUTSIDE THE SE\n38%\nRVICE**'*\u00abn\u00bb^i>^\n^^^^^.   29*jr\n9.5%-|1.^^*,*'*\"\n12.7%\n6.5%\n4% _^^^\nPROMOTIONS FRC\nM ONE DEPARTMEN\nT TO ANOTHER\n1965\n1966\n1967\nYEAR\nSpecial Activities\nThe four officers in the Victoria Recruiting Division convened 371 selection\npanels, which interviewed 1,614 candidates. They also held 1,783 individual recruiting or counselling interviews with applicants. Letters of inquiry and inquiries\nreceived by telephone and over the counter concerning employment also demanded\ncare and attention. During 1969 the Victoria recruiting officers answered 1,077\nsuch letters of inquiry. Selection Officers also took part in Career Days at secondary\nschools and administered employment examinations for typists and stenographers\nat vocational schools and in commercial departments of secondary schools in\nVictoria and Nanaimo. General employment briefing sessions for graduating\nstudents at the University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University were held, and\n X 18\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nthese were followed up by individual interviews. A senior recruiting officer reconvened the Interdepartmental Committee on Draughtsman Qualifications and\narranged several meetings to review training and revise the tests and standards used\nfor reclassification of staff in the various draughting fields.\nThe Provincial Government departments at Victoria participated for their\nsecond year in a Secondary School Work Experience programme, organized by the\nschool counsellors. This year 60 Grade XII students, primarily in commercial\nclasses, were selected by their counsellors and teachers to be placed for one week\nat Easter in 18 departments as unpaid trainee workers. The booklet Careers for\nSecondary School Graduates was completely revised and reprinted.\nIn the matter of staff development within the Recruiting Division, all Personnel\nOfficers became members of the local Personnel Management Association. One\nofficer is currently granted leave to attend a university credit course in public\nadministration during working hours, and another is enrolled in a three-year\nlabour relations course with evening sessions. The Chief Selection Officer was\nprivileged to attend the founding conference of the Public Personnel Association\nCanadian Chapter, and also the Civil Service Commissioners of Canada Conference.\nIn the fall, through the co-operation of the Director of Data Processing and\nResearch, a systems analyst from his staff was assigned to review recruiting-office\nprocedures with a view to reducing paper work. A start was made before the end\nof the year in revising forms and implementing some of the modifications suggested\nin his report.\nThe Vancouver Office\nAs in previous years, the work of this office during 1969 was mainly concerned with the recruitment and placement of personnel, and advising officials on\nmatters relating to personnel practices as concern the Government offices and\ninstitutions on the Lower Mainland.\nThe recruiting activity throughout the Fraser Valley, Surrey, Burnaby, and\nRichmond areas continues to increase with the construction of new offices and the\nexpansion of established offices. The motor-vehicle inspection station opened in\nRichmond, with the Burnaby Inspection Station scheduled to open during 1970.\nThe British Columbia Institute of Technology, Burnaby, has continued to expand\nwith the completion of several new buildings. This office also assisted the Department of Recreation and Conservation with the recruitment of catering staff for\nManning Park.\nThe following table shows the number of competitions and appointments\nhandled by the Vancouver office during the last five years. There was a 22-per-cent\nincrease in promotional competitions; 14-per-cent increase in appointments, and\nan 8-per-cent increase in persons taking written exams. Examinations were administered on 341 occasions to 564 candidates, including an increased number of\nemployees taking promotional tests.\n1965\n1966\n1967\n1968\n1969\n140\n936\n180\n755\n189\n548\n125\n524\n152\n596\nThe Essondale Office\nThe Essondale Office is located at Valleyview Lodge and is primarily engaged\nin recruiting and selection for the various Mental Health Services institutions\nthroughout the Province.    An important secondary activity is the recruiting of\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969\nX 19\nrelated professional and technical staffs for Vancouver area institutions of other\ndepartments.\nThe year 1969 marked an all-time high in the number of employees recruited,\nand in the number of competitions completed by the Essondale Office. The total\nnumber recruited was 1,857, an increase of nearly 30 per cent over 1968. The\nnumber of competitions closing at Essondale rose 28 per cent to 268.\nIn connection with these competitions, the office received 2,062 applications\nand interviewed 758 applicants, out of which 273 persons were selected. Selection\npanels were convened in 229 cases.\nThe Mental Health Services expansion programme into the community and\nthe inauguration of new services was strongly emphasized during the past year.\nFive mental health centres were opened, namely: Boundary, Simon Fraser, Haney,\nCourtenay, and Cranbrook. Three of these were fully staffed, and the other two\npartially. Tranquille was also established as a regional facility requiring a more\nsophisticated staff, such as psychologist, director of training and education.\nThe Retarded programme was also partially decentralized, with smaller units\nbeing opened in different communities, such as Alder Lodge in Maillardville,\nBevan Lodge in Courtenay.\nThe following table shows the total number of appointments made, by institution:\u2014\nLocation\nTotal Appointments\nPercentage of Total\nAppointments\n1965\n1966 i  1967\nI\n1968\n1969\n1965\n1966 I  1967\n1\n1968    1969\n1\n189\n38\n22\n18\n150\n353\n517\n31\n13\n23\n272\n46\n33\n22\n188\n394\n643\n42\n42\n18\n229\n46\n43\n25\n186\n293\n663\n33\n35\n37\n165\n27\n52\n28\n156\n277\n597\n53\n31\n34\n16\n199\n42\n53\n47\n200\n405\n715\n111\n30\n29\n26\n13.9\n2.8\n1.6\n1.3\n11.1\n26.1\n38.2\n2.3\n1.0\n1.7\n16.0\n2.7\n14.4\n2.8\n11.5\n1.9\n3.6\n2.0\n10.9\n19.3\n41.5\n3.7\n2.2\n2.4\n1.0\n10.7\n2.3\n2.0\n2.8\n2.9\nVista, Venture, and Mental Health Centres,\nexcept Burnaby\t\n1.3\n11.0\n23.2\n37.8\n2.5\n2.5\n1.0\n1.6\n11.7\n18.4\n41.7\n2.1\n2.2\n2.3\n2.5\n10.7\n21.8\n38.6\nBurnaby Mental Health Centre and Youth\nDevelopment Centre \t\n6.0\n1.5\n1.5\n1.5\nTotals              \t\n1,354\n1,700\n1,590\n1,436\n1,857\n100.0\n100.0\n100.0\n100.0 unnn\nDuring the year there were 207 new positions filled, with the greatest proportion going to the mental health centres, the Youth Development Centre, and\nThe Woodlands School. There was a very marked increase in holiday relief staff.\nAgain, the proportion of locally trained psychiatric nurses rose relative to outside\nrecruiting, indicating a lessening need for out-of-Province recruiting.\nCLASSIFICATION AND WAGE DIVISION\nThe Classification and Wage Division is responsible for evaluating and classifying positions and for defining, revising, and maintaining position specifications.\nDirectly related to classification is the matter of wages and salaries, although there\nare many things about a classification plan that are completely extraneous to a\nsalary plan. The information used by the Civil Service Commission in forming its\nrecommendations on salaries and wages is gathered, analysed, and interpreted by\nthe Classification and Wage Division.  The Division assists departments in matters\n X 20\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\ninvolving organization and staff utilization, and carries out the Commission's control\nof departmental establishments.\nDuring 1969, the Division reviewed a greater number of individual positions\nfor the purpose of classification than during 1968; 789 as against 765. Table 2\nof the Appendix indicates the number of reviews by Departments. Upward revisions\ntotalled 491, downward revisions were 20, and a total of 278 remained unchanged.\nOne hundred and eight position specifications were prepared or rewritten. As shown\nin the listing of miscellaneous studies, many reviews involving complete series and\n(or) classes also were carried out. In keeping with the policy of conducting \" on\nthe job \" reviews whenever possible, Division members visited a number of areas\nin the Interior of the Province and made many trips to the Greater Vancouver\nand Essondale areas.\nSalary and wage surveys were conducted on \" benchmark \" positions in all\ngroups and classes, and numerous outside concerns were visited for the purpose\nof ensuring proper matching of positions. In connection with professional and\nadministrative positions, the Chief Classification Officer visited the Provinces of\nAlberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, as well as the Federal Pay Research\nBureau in Ottawa.\nThe Division investigated 128 requisitions for new positions, investigated\n35 requests for extensions to casual appointments, and carried out the following\nmiscellaneous studies:\u2014\nOrganization and Classification Study:\nSenior positions, Department of Agriculture.\nAdministrative area, Vancouver District, British Columbia Forest\nService.\nParks Branch, Department of Recreation and Conservation.\nAccounting Division, Mental Health Services.\nLangford Workshop, Department of Recreation and Conservation.\nClassification and Salary Study:\nFamily and Children's Service, Victoria.\nBacteriologists.\nLibrarians.\nArchivists.\nCourt reporters.\nFire-fighters.\nSpeech therapists.\nIndustrial therapists.\nMedical records librarians.\nBusiness administrators, Mental Health Services.\nPhysiotherapists and occupational therapists.\nClassification Study:\nJob placement officers.\nRehabilitation officers.\nAgriculture inspectors.\nStock-keeping staff, Swartz Bay and Departure Bay, British Columbia Ferries Division.\nPublic health engineers.\nHouseparents, Marpole Infirmary, Probation Service.\nCo-ordinators of Volunteers, Mental Health Services.\nRight-of-way agents.\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969\nX 21\nClassification Study\u2014Continued\nGroup leaders, Child Care Resources.\nEqualization valuators.\nSalary Study:\nSupervisory nursing positions.\nFirst Aid Certificate Payment Study.\nThe Division managed to more than equal 1968's work production despite\nunprecedented work load and unprecedented turnover in Division staff. For this,\ncredit must be given to the members of the Division presently remaining for their\nco-operation, enthusiasm, and willingness to work many extra hours. Mr. R. J.\nMeunier resigned in March and was replaced by Miss J. L. Gruen in June; Miss\nGruen resigned in November; and Mr. J. J. Maxwell resigned in December. At\nthe time of writing, replacements to the two vacancies had not been made.\nSTAFF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT\nExecutive Development Training Plan\nFifteen employees enrolled in Class XI of the Executive Development Training\nPlan received their diplomas in public administration at a special academic assembly\nat the University of Victoria on November 28, 1969.\nBack row: D.

Both students were from Thailand and had completed a\nnine-month course in public administration at Carleton College in Ottawa prior\nto their attachment with the British Columbia Civil Service Commission.\nTips to Supervisors\nDuring the year a set of Tips to Supervisors was sent to each Civil Servant\npromoted to a supervisory position.\nTraining Programmes in the Planning Stage\nThe Staff Training Officer served as co-chairman with Dr. Walsh on a committee to recommend a continuing programme in staff management in the Mental\nHealth Service hospitals; and as co-ordinator of several sub-committees developing\n X 24 BRITISH COLUMBIA\ntraining programmes for mapping assistants, architectural, structural, and engineering draughtsmen and technicians.\nDepartmental Training Programmes\nIn addition to the training programmes sponsored by the Civil Service Commission, many of the departments of Government conducted training programmes\ndirectly related to the work of the department concerned.   Major in-Service training\nprogrammes of a continuing nature are listed below:\u2014\nAttorney-General:\nProbation Officer-in-training Course.\nSecurity Officers' Academy Course.\nEducation:   Teacher Education Programme for Vocational Instructors'\nCertificate (Summer School).\nForest Service: Forest Service Training School.\nMental Health:\nSchool of Psychiatric Nursing.\nPsychiatric Aide Programme.\nHighways:\nEngineering Aide Programmes.\nPaving.\nSocial Welfare:\nIn-Service Social Workers' Training Programme.\nOffice Administration Programme.\nSick and Special Leave\nSick leave granted during the period October 1, 1968, to September 30, 1969,\ntotalled 97,708.2 days (84,508.5 with pay and 13,199.7 without pay), an average\nper employee of 5.50 days. (See Table 3, Appendix.) In the 12-month period\nOctober 1, 1967, to September 30, 1968, the average per employee was 6.20 days.\nThese figures are exclusive of sick leave granted under the Workmen's Compensation Board and the Department of Veterans' Affairs section of the Sick Leave\nRegulation.\nThe average number of days' sick leave per employee (exclusive of the above\ngroups) for the past 10 years was as follows:\u2014\near Ended\nSept. 30\n1960\t\nAverage per\nEmployee\n  5.73\nYear Ended\nSept. 30\n1965\t\nAverage per\nEmployee\n  5.62\n1961\t\n  5.37\n1966\t\n  6.10\n1962\t\n  5.53\n  5.59\n  5.91\n1967\t\n  5.91\n1963\t\n1964\t\n1968\t\n1969\t\n  6.20\n  5.50\nFourteen employees were granted leave for the purpose of training with\nReserve Units of Her Majesty's forces, and 182 employees were granted leave for\nthe purpose of further training and study.\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969\nACCIDENT PREVENTION\nX 25\nThe year showed a continuation in the growth of the activities of Government,\nService man-hours increasing by 10 per cent over 1968. Since 1965 the staff and\nprogramme budgets of the Division have remained unchanged, but the number of\nemployees covered by the programme has increased. The following table indicates\nthat, after a drop in accident frequency in 1966, there was a rise in 1967 and the\nposition was static in 1968. This year the position has deteriorated, accident-frequency rate increasing by 20 per cent over 1968, and now standing 8 per cent\nabove the 1965 figure.\nYear\nEquivalent\nFull-time\nStaff Covered\nby Programme\nIncrease per Cent\n(1965base=100)\nAccident\nFrequency Rate\n(1965 base=100)\n1965\t\n19,300\n20,200\n20,682\n23,278\n25,527\n100\n105\n107\n121\n132\n1966\t\n100\n1967.....\t\n87\n1968\t\n90\n1969    ....\n90\n108\nOf the 24 departments embraced by the programme, 13 had the same or lower\naccident frequencies than in 1968, while 11 had higher rates than the previous year.\n X 26 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThe significant over-all increase in frequency was mainly attributable to higher\naccident rates in the following large departments, accounting for 54 per cent of the\ntotal service man-hours:\u2014\nForest Service, up 15 per cent.\nMental Health Branch, up 11 per cent.\nHighways, up 39 per cent.\nFerries Division, up 3 per cent.\nIt is with deep regret we report that seven employees were killed on duty\nduring the year, compared with one the previous year.\nThe Division concentrated effort in 1969 on field service to the Department\nof Highways, the Youth Crew Programme in the Department of Recreation and\nConservation, and general liaison and co-ordination of activities with other major-\nhazard departments.\nA major new area of activity was concerned with starting a formal safety\nprogramme in the Ferries Division. The Co-ordinator spent some weeks in the\nspring surveying work-accident experience in the Division, and writing a report\nwith recommendations for consideration of senior management. Arising from this,\na headquarters safety committee was established, with the Operations Manager\nas chairman and division superintendents as members. The committee decided\nto embark on initial safety orientation for all employees and accordingly the Safety\nOfficer conducted general meetings on standby vessels, commencing in November.\nIt is planned to continue this programme early in 1970. With the active support\nof the Deputy Minister, the Department of Public Works conducted a special\nsafety campaign in all zones in the three-month period September to November,\n1969. The Co-ordinator addressed safety rallies throughout the Province as part\nof this campaign. As a result, the number of compensable accidents was halved,\ncompared with the same period in 1968.\nThe Co-ordinator attended 30 headquarters safety committee meetings, 6\nlocal safety committee meetings, 24 other meetings, and made 108 visits to departmental locations. He chaired an interdepartmental meeting on Defensive Driver\nTraining, made a depth study in the Ferries Division, and addressed 13 safety\nrallies to Public Works employees throughout the Province. He attended the\nCanada Safety Conference in Ottawa, and on that occasion discussed safety matters\nwith officials of the Federal Department of Labour. Forty per cent of his time\nwas spent away from Victoria.\nThe Safety Officer addressed 37 safety rallies, conducted 4 film shows, 6\nworkshops, and made 147 other visits to departmental locations. He investigated\nfive fatalities and conducted special programmes for youth crews and for the\nFerries Division. He attended the British Columbia Provincial Safety Conference\nin Vancouver.   Seventy-eight per cent of his time was spent away from Victoria.\nThe year's activities culminated in the Annual Safety Presentation Ceremony\nheld at the Parliament Buildings on December 17th. Eleven British Columbia\nSafety Council awards were presented to 10 entire departments and major divisions.\nThe ceremony was attended by members of the Cabinet, 23 Deputy Ministers and\nsenior departmental officials, the Chairman of the Workmen's Compensation Board,\nand the President and the General Manager of the British Columbia Safety Council.\nThe Provincial Secretary, the Honourable W. D. Black, gave the main address,\nand the awards were presented by the Honourable W. A. C. Bennett.\nThe main results were summarized as follows:\u2014\n(1) There were seven fatal accidents, compared with 12, 8, 5, 2, 3, 0, and 1\nin the previous years.\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT,  1969\nX 27\n(2) For the first time, two awards of over two million consecutive man-\nhours each were presented. These were won by the Department of\nEducation and General Administration, Public Works. \" Million man-\nhour \" awards were also earned by the Hospital Insurance Service and\nDepartment of Commercial Transport.\n(3) Bronze awards were won by the Departments of Labour, Travel Industry,\nMines and Petroleum Resources. The Kamloops Forest District earned\na silver award and the Public Utilities Commission a gold award.\n(4) Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce earned\na silver-on-gold award and Commercial Transport an award of honour.\nAs previously indicated, this latter department went on to achieve a\n\" million man-hour \" award.\n(5) The awards represented 8,531,359 man-hours free of compensable\ninjury, worked by 2,374 employees.\n(6) During the year a total of 141 British Columbia Safety Council awards\nwere won by units of various departments, compared with 184 in 1968.\nThese included four \" million man-hour\" awards, seven awards of\nhonour, seven silver-on-gold, and twelve bronze-on-gold, all major\nawards for outstanding performance.\nThe Division is indebted for the fine co-operation and help of the Workmen's\nCompensation Board, the British Columbia Safety Council, the editor of the\nBritish Columbian for Service-wide publicity, and the co-operation and support of\nMinisters, Deputy Ministers, and all levels in the Service.\nGRIEVANCES AND HEARINGS\nAs indicated in the beginning of this report, the Commission heard 10 grievances from individuals and groups of employees, and 37 representations on salaries\nand working conditions were reviewed. The Commission acknowledges the great\nassistance and advice afforded by solicitors assigned as counsel to the Commission\nby the Attorney-General's Department.\nEMPLOYEE RELATIONS\nThe Chairman during the year visited Government offices and employees in the\nKootenay, Okanagan, Cariboo, and Prince George areas.\nThe Civil Service Newsletter is now published bi-monthly rather than monthly\nas heretofore. The circulation is about 26,000, and it is a very useful medium of\ninforming employees of changes in regulations.\nThe untimely death of the Commission's Personnel Officer with the British\nColumbia Ferries Division, Mr. W. T. McLaughlin, was deeply felt. Mr. G. T.\nMainer was employed to replace Mr. McLaughlin.\nIn conclusion, the Chairman wishes to record his sincere appreciation to his\ntwo colleagues on the Commission, to each member of the Commission's staff, the\nGovernment Agents, to the Civil Service Commissions of other provinces, and the\nFederal Government for their able assitance, and to you, Mr. Minister, for your\nsympathetic appreciation of the Commission's problems.\nCIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.\nH.
