Most housewives would be
upset if anyone said they
weren’t law abiding citizens.
Yet many of these same
housewives daily break the
law without realizing it.
Anyone who employes a
maid, babysitter, cook,
yardman, or other household
help that earns at least SSO
Cash wages in a calendar
quarter is required by law to
report these earnings and to
pay the Social Security tax
on them. Many householders
do not realize that earnings
of as little as $4 a week meets
the SSO cash wages
requirement.
Failure to file these
reports and pay the tax can
make you liable not only for
the original tax but also a

penalty and Interest.
The easiest way to handle
the report is to withhold the
required tax every payday
from the employees wages.
Then the employer matches
this with an equal amount.
This money, along with the
quarterly report form, is
then mailed to the District
Director of Internal Revenue
Service who serves your
area. Filing of these reports
is required no later than the
month following the month
the quarter ends.
So, if you employ
household help, do not break
the law by not filing the
report. Pay the Social
Security tax when due. If you
need help concerning
reporting household help,
call your Social Security
Office at 743-0381.

Career Personnel Not
Separated At Robins
Under “RIF” Orders
No career personnel lost
jobs in the recent reduced
manpower ceiling imposed
on the civilian strength at the
Warner Robins Air Materiel
Area (WRAMA).
“No career or career
conditional employee was
separated involuntarily,”
said Ray Kelso, deputy chief
of personnel and chief of the
civilian personnel division.
WRAMA officials stressed
the total impact was
minimized only through
extensive attention given to
the individuals involved.
Personnel and management
officials worked until the
deadline hour to minimize
the impact.
Personnel required to
move to lower Civil Service
grades will have priority for

future promotion con
sideration, the officials
stressed.
Original fears were that as
many as 500 might lose jobs
in the reduction in force
(RIF). However, as the
fiscal year ended at mid
night June 30, only tem
porary personnel on term
type appointments were
separated. These knew in
advance that their jobs
would end with the close of
the fascal year. Propects
are now bright that many of
these may be put on positions
again during the new fiscal
year.
Due to a special incentive,
personnel choosing to retire
before midnight June 30
received the advantage of a
4.8 percent cost of living

adjustment in retirement
pay, equivalent to about two
years of additional Federal
service.
The command was able to
prevent the loss of career or
career conditional personnel
because of a large number of
retirement, coupled with
resignations, transfers and
other attritional factors.
“We anticipate that in the
coming months, there will be
more retirements,” said
Kelso. A great number of
these he predicted will be
filled by internal promotions
and by the recruitment of
college level personnel under
training programs.
The situation at Robins

demanding one for personnel
and management officials.
Under way simultaneously
were a major reorganization
of one of the largest of the
WRAMA directorates, a
reduced manpower ceiling
and a presidential directive
ordering a reduction in the
average Civil Service grades
held by personnel.
It was pointed out this was
one of the most strenuous
challenges facing WRAMA
management in the recent
past, and only through ex
pert management action and
review of numerous alter
natives was it possible to
insure that no career per
sonnel would be terminated.
