3 A n establishment was considered as having a p olicy if it m et either o f the follow ing conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e
o f the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late shifts. A n 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.

5 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minim um number o f days 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.
