MEMORANDUM FOR: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR SPECIAL OPERATIONS
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR OPERATIONS
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR REPORTS AND ESTIMATES
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR COLLECTION AND DISSEMINATION
CHIEF, INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATING AND PLANNING STAFF
SUBJECT: Policy Governing Classification of Positions in CIG
1. The following policy has been proposed to, and approved by, the Deputy
Director of Central Intelligence in connection with establishing firm classifi-
cations of positions in CIG:
D,,. An extensive program of position classification and reclassification
is now under gray in CIG, which will involve two major problems:
(1) Establishment of positions with the Civil Service
Commission which have previously been handled on a special
basis, without formal classification.
(2) Reclassification of positions previously established with
the Civil Service Commission prior to development of current CIG
organizational structure and operating policies.
As formal classifications are established on a current basis,
downgrading problems will develop for three categories of individuals:
(1) Those whose positions now, have a formal Civil Service
Commission classification at a higher grade than will be authorized
upon resurvey.
(2) Those whose positions have been established by CIG, under
special circumstances, at a higher grade than will be authorized
by the Civil Service Commission when presented for formal approval.
(3) Those who have been hired at the top pay rate of a lower
grade than the position held in another Government agency at time
of transfer.
g. A further problem will arise when all positions have been formally
established with the Civil Service Commission involving pay rates for
individuals who may be later transferred from other Government departments
to CIO positions in lower grade classifications than those held in the
department from which transferred.
11. The CIG policy covering employment and reclassification of
individuals for positions newly established or reclassified by the
Civil Service Commission will be:
Approved For Release 2004/07/08 : CIA-RDP81-00706R000200050072-3
 Approved For Release 2004/07/08: CIA-RDP81-00706R002200050072-3
(1) Newly employed individuals from other than government
agencies will. enter on duty at the base pay rate of the grade and
position for which employed.
(2) Individuals who have been employed previously under
special circumstances to fill positions not yet established with
the Civil Service Commission will be regraded, if change of pay
rate is involved, to the base pay rate of the grade and position
established by the Civil Service Commission.
(3) Individuals who hold positions previously classified by the
Civil Service Commission at a higher grade than authorized upon re-
survey will be downgraded to the newly established grade. Pay rates
in the lower grade may be at any authorized within-grade level
recommended by the using activity.
(4) Policy stated in (3) above will also govern pay rates of
those individuals previously or later transferred from another
Government agency where they have held higher grades than those to
which transferred in CIG.
(5) Nothing contained in this policy shall be in conflict
with established rules or-regulations pertaining to rates of pay.
1. In emergency cases involving very special circumstances, recom-
mendations may be submitted to the Executive Director, through the Chief,
Personnel Division, P & A Branch, for exceptions to the policy stated in
Paragraph Ar, (2) above.
L. The employment of any individual in any temporary position for the
purpose of establishing a higher rate of pay and later transfer to a lower
grade position for permanent assignment is prohibited. The Advisor for
Management will make periodic checks to insure compliance with this provisioQ__'_2, This information is forawarded to you in order that every possible
assistance may be given to the Personnel Division when problems of the nature
mentioned herein arise in your office.
