NEW POSTAL PAY
PLAN RECOMMENDED
Postmaster Herbert A. Wegmann
has added his endorsement to the
Postal Salary Plan recently recom-
mended to the Congress by Post-
master General Arthur E. Summer-
field.
This pay plan was developed
after an examination and study was
made of the postal salary structure.
It is not intended to be a general
salary increase but is a proposal
for establishing a sound pay struc-
ture based on the principal of equal
pay for equal work.
It is intended to correct many in-
equities which have grown up over
the years between different types
of jobs and to provide opportunities
for advancement and greater earn-
ings.
"As a result of the installation df
the proposed plan," states Post-
master Wegmann, "nearly all em-
ployees would receive some immedi-
ate increase by adjustment of their
present salaries to new step rates.
No employee's salary would be re-
duced. The recommeded salary plan
is designed to pay each employee
in direct relation to the difficulty
and responsibility of his position.
