An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated late shifts during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form for operating late shifts. 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. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded. 3 T a b le 1.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureaufs wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety o f 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 o f 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.

The operation usually involves a large number o f carbon copies of the b ill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine. Class A .

Determines proper records and distribution of debit and credit items to be used in each phase of the work. May prepare consolidated reports, balance sheets, and other records by hand. Class B. Keeps a record o f one or more phases or sections of a set of records usually requiring little knowledge o f basic book keeping.
