Tuition in the Working of Mechanical Office Appliances.

Office of the Public Service Commissioner,
Wellington, 24th February, 1913.

IT is hereby notified that applications, to be made on printed forms obtainable from the Secretary to the Commissioner, will be received from female officers of the Public Service who are desirous of being taught the use of adding machines, listing machines, and other mechanical office appliances.

Applicants must be between the ages of eighteen and thirty, and must be good writers, and able to manipulate figures with accuracy and neatness.

Those who pass the prescribed examination will be attached to any Department of the Public Service for duty as vacancies arise, whenever they can be spared from their ordinary duties.

Upon taking up the duty of machinist they will be classified in Grade II (General Division). With this classification they will be entitled to receive one year's seniority and an additional increment of £10 per annum until a maximum salary of £130 per annum has been reached.

There will also be a classification for exceptionally skilled operators capable of passing a further examination to be prescribed, who will be placed in Grade I (General Division), with salaries ranging from £140 to £160 per annum, and eventually there may be a number of operators selected from that grade to act as “Machinists in Charge,” with salaries from £170 to £200.

An applicant’s failure to pass the prescribed examination will not necessarily affect the continuity of her employment in the Public Service. No appointment to the grade of machinist shall be made to any who fail in the examination, and, in the case of those who pass, no increment will be paid until they have taken up duty in that grade.

Opportunity will be afforded applicants of learning the uses of the various machines at times outside of their ordinary hours.

D. ROBERTSON,
Commissioner.
