Establishment plans which m eet only the leg a l requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is leg a lly required or (2 ) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out o f a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each o f the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan. State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the em ployees' share and the total contribution required. Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree to contribute more i f the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided. Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance . A c t) provides temporary disability insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost o f the insurance. 4 A n establishment is considered as having a form al plan if it specifies at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.
