Major Accomplishments and Significant Developments. A. Introductions The purpose of the Position Evaluation Program is to achieve and maintain a sound occupational and salary structure for Agency positions. This program must proe vide for equitable CIA salary alignment eith compensation levels within and outside the Federal Government and be responsible to the special job Characteristics and employe ment situations eneeantered in CIA, including recognition of the Career Staff concept. The past six menthols activity with respect to our prin. cipil function, the classification of positions, was Characterized by d parture from our planned system of classification surveys and standards development. The ceiling freeze retroactive to 31 July 1955 caused many operating offices, particularly in the Clandestine Services, to develop reorganization proposals in Which we participated. However,. oar efforts were not entirely productive due to problems resulting from the long and arduous coordination required of the CS Tibos and the constantly changing rules and philosophies with respect to their form, constitution, and use. However, many of the problems concerning the Agency Staffing Structure appear near resolution, much depending upon the "Revised Manpower Control System" currently being installed in Office of Communications on a trial teals with the Division providing Office of Personnel representation. Also, approval of new policies on Promotion, Assignments) and the Career Designation of Tib positions should aid materially in achieving sounder personnel administration but will require realistic and accurate Tables of Organization and the use of judgment and prudence by all concerned in encumbering Tib positions. Of some concern, as the period ends, is the increasing and repeated observation of the Inspector General that the compensation leveli approved for a wide variety of Tit) positions is not appropriate to obtain and retake the caliber of personnel required. This has been a perplexing situation since we keep in touch with wage levels both within and with.. out the Government, and such studies have constantly pointed out the fact that CIA levels are generally substantially higher than other "going" wages. It may also be noted that the Inspector General, to our knowledge, has not yet encoune tered a case in which he has found the CIA compensation too ApprraMPikelease 2003/04/17 : CIA-RDP80-01826R000100070002-6 SeEeCeR4eT Category Approved For Release 24141034/17; CIA-RDP80-01826R0001000M02-6 D.

As will be noted in Annex l., nearlyAgency positions, 25X9A2 nearly equally divided between the re irectorates, were surveyed. The majority of surveys included formal desk audits a however, in the case of overseas positions in the Far East, we report all documentation provided by Personnel 25X1 Officers, formerly Division Members, as survey since the position descriptions represent the results of on the spot analysis of the positions covered. ? Of special significance- are the surveys of the ORP Economic Area a project nearing completion which we have planned for .many times over the last several years but forced to withdraw each time due to reorgpnizationseee and that of a group of key positions throughout the Security Office, In the. latter casesewe have covered'coMprehensive for the first time the duties and responsibilities of 25X1 Security positions. Another difficult survey was that of the reorganized Training Office duringwhich recognie tion was given to the requirement that maw InstruCtor positiontorequired comprehensive Agency- field experience and could not be fully appraised merely on basis of giving a specific course of instruction. As in the pastsece found that the Most satisfactory and accurate position evaluations established are those approved as a result of organizational sterveys. This program, ue feel, warrants cntinued emPhasis. D. Position Standw:08 - 3% Workload Factor. Position standards completed and published during the period (Annex 2), have provided classification and qualification coverage of a Substantial portion of Agency positions in six occupational categories (approximately 700 poSitions). Stare dards now in final draft, requiring clearance only of minor details before publication 'librarian), 25X1 will provide-Coverag of approximately 200 additional positions. Other standards in final draft wille when published, cover over additional positions. 25X9A2 Approved For Release 2003/04/17 : CIA-RDP80-01826R000100070002-6 Approved For Release 2147/frei7P:t1RRDP80-01826R0001000402-6 Published standards now apply to positions throughout the Agency, both in Headquarters and the field. Standard position descriptions for Reports Officers, OS.7 through OS-15, and Area Operations Officers, T4.7 through GS45, now provide coverage of Headquarters operational positions. During the reporting period revision of the ftInterim Qualifie cation Standards to simplify format, eliminate superfluous material, and increase utility was begun; and qualification standards wereydeveloped for Intelligence Operational positions including Intelligence Officer (FI), Operations Officer (PP), Operations Officer (CE), and Paramilitary Officer. These interim standards cover a major segment of DD/P activity. A complete revision of the Occupational Handbook of Classification Titles and Codes was made, and the Handbook has been transuitted to Regulations Control Staff for printing. A further necessary revision to provide complete definitions of all titles and codes has been initiated. In view of the amount of staff time required to be spent on special staff studies, as outlined in Annex 4, the production for the reporting period has been encouraging. With the assignment of additional professional personnel 'to the Standards Branch the production during the next period should increase Considerablyo- , E. Individual Position and Personnel Actions. 17% Workload Factor. During the period, 609 individual personnel actions were processed, a substantial portion of which involved desk audits and the preparation of position descriptions. Statistics indicate that a significant proportion of the total number of position descriptions produced result from this category of activity. Consevently? despite the emphasis upon surveys, it continued to be a fruitful means of documenting Agency positions. Although not a direct ciessification responsibility, service designation:determinations for positions, particularly in the DDAD Area, were Made in connection with indiiridual personnel actions., F. Table of Organization RevieW 19% Workload Factor. 25X1 During the latter quarter, much time was devoted to providing assistance to DDA Staffs and Area Divisions in connection with their revised Tables of Organization. Problems encountered are covered in the Introduction to this report.

We, of course, would prefat-that Tib proposals be confined principally to establishing appropriate organizational structure and that only positions directly affected by structural changes:lee considered a subject for regrading. This philosophy we have been attempting to spreads and a cono , promise frequently used is the slash grading of all positions for which the Office desires grade changes, followed by detailed position evaluation when the new organization is in operation. D. Special Studies and Staff Services . 16% Workload Factor Pepreaentative studies accomplished by the Division are listed in Annex 4. As in the past, the Division has analyzed systems and practicee and resolved problems in the field of Personnel Management that extend beyond the fields of position evaluation and wage administration, Perhaps the-most?significant project initiated during the period is the study of current position evaluation and compensation plans in other government agencies and private industry. To date, the entire State Department Foreign Service Personnel System has been reviewed and their practices in position classifications rotation and assignments grade retention, control eyetems, etc. analyzed. In additions compensation practices of the Atomic Energy Commission, other government agencies and large private corporations having over- seas functions ire studied,. Information obtained should be extremely useful in the evaluation of the Agency Compensation Program as well as in making changes to our system. Consultations with representatives of operating offices to assist Them in the application of the Agency position evaluation system and in the resolution of current problems continued; and staff support was given to Career Service Boards and the Personnel Assign., ment Division with respect to questions concerning the evaluation of pamitionss salary and wage rates, promotion Progression patterns, qualification requirementas and related matters. Numerous orien- tations and briefings on position evaluation functions were given to personnel from operating components of the Agency as well as to members of the Office of Personnel. H. Training - During the reporting period a two.week lecture course on Salary and Wage Administration was developed by the Divisions consisting of forty-hours of detailed instruction in techniques and methods. The lecture course was given to the Personnel Office Trainees as a part of their formal training in the Ageney. It included instruction in occupational classification, industrial job evaluation methods and practices, the factor comparison method of position evaluations job evaluation methods used in Department of States AEC, Navy Departments CSC position evaluations fact. ? finding tools and techniquest ducriptions s, : s Approved For Release 2003/04/17 . bena ifiiiSteiii6o%ouz-b Approved For Release iZglip/04/17 : CIA-RDP80-01826R000100111111002-6 SCPEiai survey methods and techniques T/0 reviews classification records and reports s field classification problems, pay plans, position standards, pay administra.tion and salary determination. Emphasis was placed on student partici- pation in the course in order to increase understanding and retention. Twelve members of the Division staff and an ex. member now on the staff of the DD/Pers/PD presented lectures. Favorable comments were made by all trainees, both with respect to the nature of material presented and the con- ference method of instruction. Expressions of interest in attending a similar course were received from adtdnistrative personnel in several operating areas of the Agermy. Several members of the Division were enrolled in Agency sponsored internal and external training courses during this period. The Division was represented in such courses under the administration of the Office of Training as Basic Orientations Operational. Supports Effective Writing, and Clandestine Review. Several members attended lectures in the Area Training Courses and Area Orientation Lectures covering Russia, Germany and Burma. Two individuals took the evening class in Position Classification offered by the Department of Agriculture. SECTION 2. Objectives and Program Plans - 3. Janhary 1%6 to 1 July 1%6 A.

Study of classification and co enuation systems adaptable to amo This study stemmed from the Objective to keep abreast of the times concerning outside developments in the field of classification and salary administration particularly since the consensus of opinion of the Career Council is that CIA should develop and use a caepen. sation system keyed to the Career Service Program even though we depart from normal Federal practices. The project began with a review of position evaluation and compensation plans and practices In selected governmental Agencies somewhat comparable to CIA; and . researdh organizations and industries, particularly these which have fairly extensive overseas operations. This project was approved by the Director of Personnel in July and thus far is about 30% complete,, Extensive data has been obtained from the White House Task Force which studies compensation, and pay along with overall overseas personnel problems ; the Personnel Advisor to the President; various Senate end House ComMittees which investigated aspects of the pay problem; intersdepartmental commit. tees; and the Civil Service Commission. Agencies whose compensation and personnel programs mare studies included: AEC., ICA? Department of State USIA and TVA. On the industrial side, discuesions were held with representatives from the Society for Advancement of Manage. meth, and the American Management Association. Descriptive material was obtained on 16 Urge industrial firms which have extensive over seep operations. Future action on this project contemplates field trips to_TVAeand.

Following acceptance of the plan by Super. grade Review Board, the Division prepared brief descriptions and evaluation data on each Position considered to warrant supergrade nomination and ranked the positions for each Directorate in order of overall difficulty and responsibility of dUties performed. This information was pr.wided to the three Deputy Directors for their use in preparing their nominations and rankings of the positions. Approved For Release 2003/04/17 : CIA-RDP80-01826R000100070002-6
