Footnotes
A ll of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.
1 Standard hours reflect the workweek fo r which employees receive their regu lar straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime
at regu lar and/or prem ium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all w orkers and dividing by the number of w ork ers.
The median
designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive m ore and half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined
by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the w orkers earn less than the low er of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate.
3 Excludes prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to form ally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-tim e salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes w orkers in su bclerical jobs such as m essenger.
6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and fo r the most common standard workweeks reported.

1 F o r purposes of this study, pay for a Sunday in D ecem ber, negotiated in the automobile industry, is not treated as a paid holiday.

1 A ll combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for exam ple, the proportion of w orkers receiving
1
a total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on.
Proportions then w ere cumulated.
1 These days are provided as part of a Christm as—New Y e a r holiday period which typically begins with Christm as Eve and ends with
2
New Y e a r 's Day. Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and fa rm implement industries.

1 Includes payments other than "length of t im e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-su m payments, converted to an
4
equivalent time b asis; for exam ple, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 w eek's pay. Periods of service are chosen a rb itrarily
and do not n ecessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between
5 and 10 y ears. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 w eeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for
at least 3 w eeks' pay after few er y ears of service.
1 Estim ates listed after type of benefit are for a ll plans fo r which at least a part of the cost is borne by the em ployer. "Noncontributory
5
plans" include only those financed entirely by the em ployer.
Excluded are legally required plans, such as workm en's compensation, social
security, and railro ad retirement.
1 Unduplicated total of w orkers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
8
lim ited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Inform al sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.
