school in Lincoln County. * * *
With the exception o f only a few
days I have worked for the (State)
Highway Department since I quit
teaching in 1936. My question is:
’D o I get credit for prior service
with this school board?* *’
The answer to this question is that
the highway department employee
should be given full credit for all his
continuous service to the State of Ore
gon, including his service as a teacher,
if he taught as a "certificated school
teacher,” that is, if he then had a

Last but by no means least was the
Tentative draft of the Pay Plan. Ques
tionnaires were sent out to the different
types o f public employment through
out the state for the purpose of salary
analysis. Realizing that the State of
Oregon could not pay wages compar

50% o f the P.A.S. survey o f Oregon
industrial rates was used as a guide.
Following distribution of the tentative
draft to the various state departments
a public hearing was held. Excluded
from this hearing was the pay plan for
the State Highway Commission. This
the time of becoming a member of the
system. Such credit is not limited to
those who are teaching at the time of
becoming members of the public em
ployees retirement system.
