3 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the follow ing conditions: (1 ) Operated late shifts atthe tim e of the
survey, or (2 ) had formal provisions covering late shifts.
An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated late
shifts during the 12 months before the survey, or (2) had provisions in written form to operate late shifts.
4 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.
5 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days sick leave available

Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.
