BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE

*******

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
WASHINGTON
ADDRESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO T H E B O A R D

X-9541
April 6, 1936.

Dear Sirs
One of the Federal Reserve banks has requested the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to modify the instructions contained in its letter, X-9405, of December 27, 1935 so as
to permit a Federal Reserve bank, in its discretion, to pay to an
employee under age 55 with 10 years or more of service who is involuntarily separated from the service of the Federal Reserve bank
a dismissal wage equal to 6 months' salary in lieu of the payments
authorized in the Board's letter above referred to.
The Board has given careful consideration to this request
and, inasmuch as employees who lack many years of having attained
age 55 may find it more advantageous to them to receive a dismissal
wage equal to 6 months' salary rather than the payments authorized
in the Board's letter X-9405, the Board authorizes your bank, in
its discretion, to pay not to exceed 6 months' salary in a lump
sum, or in not to exceed 6 monthly installments, to employees under
age 55 with 10 years or more of service who are involuntarily




X-9541
separated from the service of your bank, in lieu of the benefits
authorized in paragraph (a) of its letter, X-9405, of December 27,
1935.
Very truly yours,

Yy)wuM
Chester Morrill,
Secretary.
