The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions. An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping o f occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers. OFFICE BILLER, MACHINE BILLER, MACHINE— Continued Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter.
