3 A n establishment was considered as having a p o licy if it met either o f the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e
o f 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 em ployer contributions.
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.
