An establishment was considered as having form al 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. * The temporaiy disability laws in C alifornia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 An establishment is considered as having a form al 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 lea ve allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.
