We Repeat--

Going DOD? Too

Much Leave May

Pose a Problem
Employees are reminded of the
need to submit leave requests early
so that supervisors can prepare
leave schedules that will best ac-
commodate leave requests of all
employees and minimize disrup-
tions to the work.
Employees are also reminded
that while leave can be accumulated
up to a maximum of 760 hours by
the end of the leave year, hours in
excess of 760 are forfeited. If,
because of the requirements of the
service, employees cannot be per-
mitted to take scheduled leave in
order to reduce their leave balance
to 760 hours by the end of the leave
year, special exceptions may be
authorized by the lieutenant gov-
ernor to permit carrying over the
excess leave to the following year.
Requests for such exceptions are
considered individually on the basis
of written justifications submitted
by management officials through
the personnel director.
Employees who will be trans-
ferred to a Department of Defense
(DOD) activity are cautioned that
although they can transfer leave in
excess of 760 hours, the should not
carry over so much leave that they
would expect to be on leave for a
significant length of time between
October I, 1979 and January 12,
1980, which is the period between
the effective dates of the transfer of
function and the end of the 1979
leave year. It is quite likely that
during that period it will be diffi-
cult for the DOD activity to grant
such leave requests. Generally,
leave in excess of 760 hours at the
end of the 1979 leave year will be
forfeited unless the DOD activity
permits the employee to carry over
the excess leave to the new leave
year because of the exigencies of the
service.

It's Dining and Dancing

vations, call Jorge T. Aleman,

NO MORE HOMEWORK, NO MORE BOOKS ... and no more
students dirty looks because today's the first day of summer vacation!
Demonstrating that kids aren't the only ones enthusiastic about the
school year ending is Paul D. Chadwick, fourth grade teacher at Gamboa
Elementary.


Country Handicraft Market Coming to the City


Canal Zone residents are invited
to visit the second annual National
Arts and Crafts Fair that opens at
7 p.m., Friday, June 15, and con-
tinues through Saturday and Sun-
day at the El Dorado Shopping
Center in Panama City.
More than 150 craftsmen fea-
turing handicrafts from the various
provinces of Panama will par-.
ticipate in the annual fair that is
sponsored by the Ministry of Com-
merce and Industries.
There will be woodcarvings from


Bocas del Toro. Herrera Province
will feature earthenware and cross-
stitch needlework. From Code
there will be the reedlike birdcages;
miniature houses, airplanes and
other designs made from the stem
of sugarcane; beadwork including
wall hangings and room dividers
made of "ligrimas de San Pedro";
artificial flowers and clay products.
SArtesans from Veraguas will fea-
ture fibercrafts and the long Guay-
mi dresses that have become
popular for casual entertaining.


A newly installed $3.5 million Paceco Gantry container crane towers
over Pier 15 in Balboa. The 250-ton crane is expected to improve cargo
handling by 50 percent, cut port time in half and increase the amount of
incoming cargo when it becomes operational mid-July. The crane, under
contract with the Panama Canal Company, was purchased by U.S. Lines.


No Decisions Reached Yet


On Issue of C.Z. Domestics


Members of the Canal Zone com-
munity have voiced concern that
they be given information in
advance on how the Panamanian
Labor Code will be applied to Canal
Zone domestics beginning Oc-
tober 1.
The Office of the General Coun-
sel has addressed itself to the issue
and has been informed by Pan-
amanian representatives on the
Binational Working Group that
officials of the Government are still
deliberating as to how the Labor
Code and other fiscal provisions of
Panamanian law will be applied in
what is now the Canal Zone after
the Treaty enters into force.
After the Government of Panama
makes its views on the matter
known to officials of the Canal
organization and the United States
has determined that those views are
compatible with Treaty require-
ments, the information will be
promptly relayed to Canal Zone
residents through the SI'I.I.WAY. In
the meantime, residents may be
interested in familiarizing them-
selves with Panamanian: law as it
now applies to domestics in the
Republic.
Articles 230 and 231 of Title VII
of the Labor Code state the
following:
Article 230. Domestic em-
ployees are persons who habitually
and continuously perform cleaning,
aid, or other household services in
the homes of single persons or
families.
Article 231. The relations of
domestic employees will be gov-
erned by the following rules:
1. The contract may be
verbal or in writing. . ..
2. The work of domestic
employees shall not be subject to a
time table, but they will be entitled
to a complete rest from 9 p.m. to 6
a.m. and shall be paid weekly rest


and annual vacations. The domestic
employee shall enjoy paid rest
during legal holidays or days of
national mourning, unless the em-
ployer orders him or permits him to
perform services, in which case the
work shall be paid with a 100
percent surcharge on the wages
earned.
3. In the employment con-
tract relative to domestic service,
the first two weeks will be con-
sidered as a probation period and
either of the parties may terminate it
at will, subject to verbal notice of 24
(Continuetd on page 4)

Governor Seeks To

Extend Major RIF

Beyond Cutoff Date
Gov. H. R. Parfitt is seeking to
extend the major reduction-in-force
option beyond the present Septem-
ber 30, 1979 cutoff date.
Earlier this year at the Governor's
request the Office of Personnel
Management granted the authority
to make a major RIF option avail-
able to Panama Canal Company/
Canal Zone Government employees
for the period of April I through
September 30, 1979. The option
permits employees with at least 20
years of service and who are at least
50 years of age or those who have at
least 25 years of service regardless of
age to retire if they choose to do so.
The extension is being sought in
response to employee concern that a
delay in the passage of the Treaty
implementing legislation might re-
sult in no early retirement option
being available after September 30.
The Treaty itself requires that the
United States put into effect exist-
ing early retirement provisions fora
substantial period of the Treaty.


Special Documentation Is Required

To Take Firearms Into United States


Planning to take that gun back
to the States with you? If you're
a civilian Federal employee, you'll
have to make arrangements in
advance.
The Gun Control Act of 1968
makes it unlawful for you to trans-
port into or receive in your state of
residence any firearm that you
obtained outside the state.
U.S.-citizen residents of the Canal
Zone who are leaving the Isthmus
can get help with the problem from
the Canal Zone Customs Division.
If an individual can prove that he
or she personally took the gun out
of the United States or personally
ordered it from the United States
while residing outside the country,
the Customs Division will issue an
affidavit that will facilitate carrying
the firearm back or having it
shipped with household goods.


Affidavits will not be issued for
guns that were bought u Liide of the
United States, including those
bought locally from individuals
or gun clubs, unless it can be shown
that the gun was ordered from the
United States by and for the
individual.

Those persons not eligible to
receive an affidavit from the Cus-
toms Division can contact Frank
R. Turman Jr., 52-3325, Transpor-
tation Branch, located at the Balboa
Heights Railroad Station. He will
assist these gun owners in preparing
an Alcohol. Tobacco and Firearms
Bureau Form 6, Part 1. to obtain
authorization for the firearm to
enter the United States. Interested
persons should keep in mind that it
will require approximately six
weeks to process the Form 6.

Doctor Shortage Causes Limited Appointments


A temporary shortage of physi-
cians will cause a decrease in the
number of available Orthopedic
Clinic appointments during June
and July.
Emergencies will-continue to be
seen at any time.
Canal organization employees
and active duty military personnel
considered urgent by the referring
physician because of performance-
of-duty requirements will be given


appointments within approximately
two weeks.
Routine new appointments will
be given on a first come, first served
basis and may be delayed several
weeks.

It is anticipated that the tem-
porary shortage of orthopedic
specialists will be relieved by
August and that services will return
to normal at that time.

cause, he shall pay an indemnity
according to the time served as
follows:
(a) From two weeks to
three months, the amount equiv-
alent to a week's wages;
(b) From three months
up to one year, the amount
equivalent to two weeks' wages;
(c) From one year to two
years of service, the amount equiv-
alent to a month's wages;
(d) From two years to
four years' service, the amount
equivalent to two months' wages;
(e) From four years to six

alent to three months' wages;

alent to four months' wages;

alent to five months' wages;

tial requirement before entering

or any other physician of another
state institution.
6. In case of an infectious

or responsibility.

same right, unless the domestic
employee has contracted the infec-
tions or contagious disease from the

illness.

an end to the contract once that
period of time has expired without.

to the other party a month's wages
for each year of continuous service
or fraction of time not under six
months. This compensation cannot
exceed the sum corresponding to
three months' wages.
8. The domestic employee is


entitled to permission from his
employer to attend school, pro-
vided it is compatible with his hours
of work."

ment to the contrary, it is presumed

No Desperdicie


Sus Horas de


Vacaciones

Se les recuerda a los empleados
que es necesario que entreguen sus
solicitudes de vacaciones temprano
para que sus supervisors puedan
programar las vacaciones de todo
el personal, reduciendo asi las
interrupciones en el trabajo.
Tambi6n se les recuerda a los
Empleados que cualquier exceso
del mAximo de 760 horas anuales de
vacaciones se perdera. Si por razo-
nes de trabajo a un empleado no se
le permit tomar vacaciones para
reducir el balance a 760 horas para
fines del afio, el Vicegobernador
puede autorizar excepciones espe-
ciales para que la acumulaci6n pase
al pr6ximo afio. Las solicitudes
para tales excepciones se considera-
ran individualmente en base ajusti-
ficaciones escritas entregadas por
oficiales administrativos a trav6s
del Director de Personal.
A aquellos empleados que serin
transferidos con funciones bajo el
Departamento de Defensa se les
advierte que aunque puedan Ilevar
consigo mas de 760 horas de vaca-
ciones, no deben acumular tanto
que ocasione su ausencia en el
period de tiempo comprendido
entire el 1� de octubre y el 12 de
enero, el cual es el period entire
fechas efectivas de la transferencia
de funciones y el final del afio de
vacaciones. Lo mas probable es que
durante ese period el Departamen-
to de Defensa no pueda conceder
vacaciones a sus empleados. Gene-
ralmente, el exceso de 760 horas
se perderA, salvo que el Departa-
mento de Defensa permit que el
empleado pase la acumulaci6n de
horas al nuevo afio de vacaciones
por las exigencias del trabajo.

Escasez de Medicos Causa Disminuci6n de Citas


Una escasez temporal de m6dicos
causara una disminuci6n en el n6-
mero de citas disponibles en la Cli-
nica Ortop6dica durante junio y
julio.
Sin embargo, los casos de urgen-
cia continuaran siendo atendidos
a cualquier hora.
Los empleados de la empresa del
Canal y el personal military en servi-
cio active cuyos casos se considered
urgentes por el m6dico que los refie-
re debido a las exigencias del deber


que desempefian recibiran citas
dentro de un period aproximado
de dos semanas.
Las nuevas citas para casos ruti-
narios seran concertadas en base al
orden de Ilegada y probablemente
se demorarAn varias semanas.
Se espera que el problema de es-
casez de especialistas ortop6dicos se
solucione para el mes de agosto y
que el servicio normal se reestablez-
ca entonces.
