Preface
The concept of employee compensation has broad­
ened considerably in the past several decades through the
adoption or liberalization of a host of supplementary pay
practices.
Statistics on straight-time wages for tirrte
worked no longer sufficiently approximate the level of em­
ployer payments for hired labor. Therefore, it is impor­
tant now to take account of such outlays as vacation and
holiday pay, daily or weekly overtime and shift differen­
tials, terminal (severance) pay, contributions to private
pension and health and welfare funds, and payments under
legally required insurance programs.
This bulletin analyzes the level and structure of
employer outlays for the compensation of employees, con­
sidering the expenditures for each component as a percent
of total compensation outlays and in cents-per-hour terms.
Furthermore, the relative importance of working and leave
hours as percents of total hours paid for is discussed.
This study of the pipeline industry is part of the
Bureau’s program of studies of employer expenditures for
supplementary compensation practices. A list of previ­
ously issued reports is found at the end of this bulletin.
The study was conducted by the Bureau’s Division
of National Wage and Salary Income, Norman J. Samuels,
Chief, in the Office of Wages and Industrial Relations,
L». R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Commissioner.
The sta­
tistical techniques were developed by Samuel E. Cohen
and Theodore J. Golonka.
The analysis was prepared
by Robert E. Pope, under the immediate supervision of
Victor J. Sheifer and the general direction of Arnold
Strasser.

Compensation Expenditures and Payroll Hours

Pipelines, 1964
Summary
Compensation1 in the pipeline industry2 amounted to $4.46 for each hour
for which employees were paid during 1964. 3 Eighty-five percent ($3.79) of these
employer expenditures consisted of direct payments to workers, of which $3.29
were payments at straight-time rates for working time and 50 cents were ex­
penditures for leave time; premiums for overtime, weekend, holiday, and shift
work; nonproduction bonuses; and terminal payments. In addition to these direct
payments, pipeline employers had expenditures of 67 cents— 15 percent of all
compensation expenditures— for legally required insurance programs and private
welfare plans.
Aggregate expenditures for supplements to straight-time pay for working
time amounted to $1.17 per hour— almost half (56 cents) of which consisted of
expenditures for private welfare plans; slightly more than four-tenths was for
direct payroll supplements.
Expenditures for legally required insurance pro­
grams amounted to 11 cents per hour— less than 10 percent of all supplementary
expenditures.
The pipeline industry has one of the highest compensation levels in the
country. Expenditures in this industry are of such magnitude that the supplemen­
tary compensation payments, which accounted for just over one-fourth of total
compensation expenditures, were only 8 cents per hour less than the legal m ini­
mum wage established under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended in 1964.
Companies within the industry vary widely in size. Some have fewer
than 25 employees and others more than 1, 500 employees. About 60 percent of
the industry's nonsupervisory workers were in companies with collectively b a r­
gained agreements covering a majority of their nonsupervisory em ployees.4 In
general, however, a sim ilar level of expenditures for supplements was reported
by both unionized and nonunionized companies and by companies of different em ­
ployment size. Nevertheless, the highest level of expenditures for paid leave—
both as a proportion of total compensation outlays and in cents per paid hour----

1 Compensation, for purposes of this study, is defined as the sum of the payments, subject to Federal withholding
taxes, that were made by employers directly to their em ployees, before deductions of any type, and the expenditures
m ade by employers for le g a lly required insurance programs and private welfare plans to provide the worker with full— or
partial— econom ic security against a future contingency (e . g. , unem ploym ent, retirement, m edical expenses, e t c .) .
2 The pipeline transportation industry includes companies classified, in accordance with the 1957 edition of the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual and 1963 Supplem ent, in SIC 4612— crude petroleum pipelines— and SIC
4613— refined petroleum pipelines.
^ Paid hours consist of aggregate hours, including paid leave hours, rest periods, coffee breaks, machine
d ow n -tim e, and other nonleave hours paid for but not worked, for which employers made direct payments to workers
during the year.
Working tim e excludes paid leave, hours.
As leave hours increase proportionate to total hours,
expenditures per hour o f working tim e differ increasingly from expenditures per paid hour.
In this industry, leave
hours accounted for about 11 percent of all 1964 paid hours occasioning a difference of about 12 percent between
the two cents per hour measures.
Unless otherwise noted, all cents-per-hour discussions in the text are based on
aggregate paid hours.
The terms workers and em ployees, which are used synonymously in this report, are defined to include all e m ­
ployees of pipeline com panies.

More than 8 out of every 10 pipeline workers were em ployed in nonsupervisory capacities during 1964.

were made by the largest size companies and by companies in which the majority
of nonsupervisory workers were covered by bargained agreements. It should be
noted that many pipeline companies are affiliated with petroleum refineries, and
to a certain extent, both industries have sim ilar supplemental compensation plans.
Compensation Levels
Expenditures in the pipeline industry for the compensation of employees
amounted to $4.46 for each paid hour during 1964. Alm ost six-tenths of the
industry’ s employees worked for companies whose expenditures ranged between
$3.80 and $4.80 per hour. 5 About two-thirds of the remaining employees worked
for firm s with expenditures of over $4.80 per hour and one-third were employed
by pipeline companies with compensation expenditures of less than $3.80 per hour.

Prevalence of Supplements
A ll companies had expenditures during 1964 for vacations; holidays; sick
leave; premium pay; life, accident, and health insurance; and pension and retire­
ment plans. In addition, all companies in the industry had expenditures for legally
mandated programs such as social security and unemployment insurance, and
almost all had expenditures for workmen’ s compensation program s. 6
Savings and thrift plans were also very prevalent in this industry. Com ­
panies employing nine-tenths of all workers had expenditures for such plans. This
is an unusually high incidence for savings and thrift plans and contrasts sharply
with the pattern found in m o st industries.7 The prevalence of other supplements

5 For ease o f reading in this and subsequent discussions o f tabulations, the lim its o f the class intervals are des­
ignated as 2 to 5 percent, 1 to 6 cents, e tc . , instead of using the more precise term inology, 2 and under 5 percent,
1 and under 6 cents, etc.
6 Companies can self-insure under the workmen's com pensation laws in several States and in a given year m ay
have no expenditures occasioned by occupational illness or injury.
A n estim ated 2 percent of the woikers in the
pipeline industry were em ployed by firms that did not have any expenditures for workmen's compensation programs
during 1964.
For exa m p le, in 1962, only 4 percent of the production and related woikers in the manufacturing industries
were em ployed by establishments with expenditures for savings and thrift plans. See Employer Expenditures for S elected
Supplementary Compensation Practices for Production and R elated Workers: Com position of Payroll Horns: Manufacturing
Industries, 1962 (BLS Bulletin 1428, 1965).

varied: Four-fifths of all employees worked for companies that had shift differ­
ential expenditures; almost three-fourths were in companies having terminal
payments; and slightly over one-half were employed by companies that had ex­
penditures for nonproduction bonuses. 8
Paid Leave
Leave payments accounted for over 80 percent of all expenditures for
direct payroll supplements, and were second in importance (among the various
supplements to straight-time pay for working time) only to expenditures for p ri­
vate welfare plans.
Leave expenditures constituted 9.2 percent of total compensation with
vacations and holidays accounting for over 80 percent of these payments. Sick
leave and civic and personal leave accounted for the remainder of the leave pay­
ments. Generally, expenditures for leave time were at sim ilar levels throughout
the industry with almost two-thirds of the workers being employed by companies in
which these payments ranged between 8 and 10 percent of total compensation, and
almost seven-eights of the employees worked for companies whose leave payments
amounted to 30 cents or more per 1964 paid hour. However, the highest levels
of leave payments were found in the largest companies. This was not necessarily
because of more liberal practices, although most of the firm s with the highest
expenditure levels granted 5 weeks or more of paid vacation to some of their
employees, but possibly because these companies had more long service employ­
ees who were eligible for more extensive vacation periods.
Paid Vacations and Holidays. Vacation payments comprised 5. 2 percent
of total compensation, and amounted to 23 cents per 1964 paid hour. Most workers
(71 percent) were employed by companies whose vacation expenditures constituted
4 to 6 percent of total compensation with the larger companies generally having
higher vacation expenditures as a proportion of total compensation than the sm all.
Holiday expenditures were generally uniform throughout the industry re­
gardless of company size, location, or union status; 88 percent of all employees
were in companies whose expenditures were 2 to 3 percent of total compensation;
the overall average being 2. 4 percent.
These expenditures amounted to almost
11 cents for each paid hour during 1964.
Sick Leave and Other Paid Leave. Payments to workers for sick leave
were made by all pipeline firm s. These expenditures, which accounted for 15 per­
cent of all leave payments, amounted to 1 .4 percent of compensation outlays and
averaged almost 6 .5 cents for each paid hour. Expenditures of the different firm s
ranged from under 1 percent of all compensation outlays and less than 2 cents
per paid hour to 2 percent and 12 cents.
However, during 1964, two-thirds of
the workers were employed by firm s in which sick leave payments comprised 1 to
3 percent of compensation, and more than one-third worked for pipeline firm s
in which these payments amounted to 6 cents or more per paid hour.
Ninety percent of the industry1s employees worked for companies that had
expenditures for civic and personal leave 9 during 1964. However, these expendi­
tures amounted to less than one-half of 1 percent of all compensation outlays. 10

None of the companies in the sample reported having expenditures for vacation and holiday funds or for sever­

ance an d/or SUB funds.
Most com panies, however, provided sim ilar benefits through direct payroll expenditures.

Premium Payments
Premium payments, 11 although reported by all companies, constituted
only 1.6 percent of total compensation and amounted to 7.1 cents per paid hour
during 1964.
Premiums for overtime, weekend, and holiday work comprised
80 percent of these payments and shift differentials accounted for the rest.
Although some workers were employed by companies in which these ex­
penditures amounted to 5 percent of total compensation, all but 16 percent of the
employees worked for companies with premium payments of less than 2 percent
of total compensation.
Shift differential expenditures were uniformly low, amounting to less than
1 percent of all compensation payments.
Nonproduction Bonuses and Terminal Payments
Both nonproduction bonuses and terminal pay, comprised only minute
portions of the industry's total outlay for the compensation of employees. While
a majority of the employees worked for companies with expenditures for these
items (55 percent for those with bonuses and 81 percent for those with terminal
pay), outlays were generally low. Even among companies with expenditures for
these benefits, bonuses averaged only 0.2 cents and terminal pay 2.8 cents per
paid hour.
Legally Required Insurance Programs
Company expenditures for legally required insurance programs consti­
tuted only 2.5 percent of total compensation outlays during 1964. 12 Payments for
social security comprised 72 percent of the total; unemployment compensation
20 percent; and workmen’ s compensation 8 percent. 13
Expenditures for social security (old-age, disability, and survivors in­
surance) accounted for 1.8 percent of total compensation, or slightly over 8 cents
per paid hour. Nearly all employees were in companies whose costs were b e­
tween 1 and 3 percent of total compensation, or between 6 and 10 cents per
paid hour.
Payments made for State and F ed e ra l14 unemployment insurance con­
stituted only 0.5 percent of compensation and amounted to 2 cents per paid hour.
Over 90 percent of all employees worked for companies whose expenditures for
unemployment insurance constituted less than 1 percent of total compensation
payments, and 95 percent worked for companies with payments of less than
4 cents per hour.
Workmen’ s compensation expenditures of slightly over 1 cent per paid
hour accounted for only 0.2 percent of compensation. Expenditures in all com ­
panies were less than 4 cents per hour and almost all workers (96 percent) were
in companies in which these expenditures accounted for less than 1 percent of
total compensation.

expenditures because of the generally high le v e l of gross m oney wages in the industry.

In general,

the le g a lly re­

quired programs are funded on the basis of a rate applied against a specified m axim um of each e m p loyee’ s, earnings.
For exam ple:

In 1964, the em ployer’ s rate of contribution for social security was 3 5/g percent of the first $ 4 ,8 0 0 of

each em ployee's annual earnings.
and hence,

Em ployee earnings in the industry averaged considerably higher than these m axim um s,

the payments are only a sm all proportion of total compensation expenditures.

Employers in a few States are subject to temporary disability insurance laws.

None o f the pipeline companies

in the sample reported expenditures under these laws.
14 For 1964, employers in all but 9 States were taxed at a rate of 0 . 4 percent of payroll.

A rate of 0 . 7 per­

cent was paid in California, Delaw are, Indiana, Massachusetts, M ichigan, M innesota, New Jersey, and W est Virginia.
Alaska had a rate of 0 .8 5 percent.
In all States, the tax applied only to the first $ 3 ,0 0 0 paid to an em p loyee.




6

Private Welfare Plans
In 1964, $1 of every $8 of compensation provided pipeline workers with
deferred compensation, in the form of private welfare plans, which provided the
workers with protection against various contingencies and/or eventualities. These
expenditures were not only greater in the pipeline industry, during 1964 than
those for any other group of pay supplements, but were considerably higher than
those made in 1962 by manufacturing employers for production and related workers
or those made in 1963 for nonproduction workers in the private sector of the
economy. 15
Outlays for all private welfare plans constituted 12.6 percent of the pipe­
line industry's total compensation expenditures; outlays for pension and retirement
plans accounted for one-half of these payments; savings and thrift plans amounted
to 3.6 percent, and life, accident, and health insurance to 2.7 percent. Expendi­
tures for private welfare plans amounted to 56 cents per paid hour, or 63 cents
per 1964 working hour. Half of the industry's employees worked for companies
in which these expenditures amounted to 45 cents per hour or more.
L ife, Accident, and Health Insurance.
A ll companies had expenditures
for some type of life, accident, and health insurance.
However, there was a
wide range in the level of expenditures among the various companies. Measured
as a percent of total compensation, the range was from under 1 to 6 percent;
in cents per hour, it was from under 2 cents to as high as 30 cents per hour.
Overall expenditures for these plans were 2. 7 percent of total compensation and
represented payments of 12 cents per paid hour. A majority (55 percent) of all
employees were in companies with expenditures of between 1 and 3 percent of
total compensation. Generally, the highest expenditures were made by the largest
companies and the lowest expenditures by the sm allest companies. However, some
large and some small companies had expenditures which fell in or around the
center of the distribution.

About 95 percent of the pipeline employees worked for companies in
which life, accident, and health insurance plans were partly paid for by em ­
ployee contributions.
However, employer expenditures for these contributory
plans----2. 7 percent of total compensation outlays— were only slightly lower than
the expenditures ( 3. 0 percent) reported by the few companies having noncontrib­
utory plans.

Pension and Retirement P lans.
Expenditures for private pension and
retirement plans were higher than for any other supplement to straight-time pay
for working tim e, and were 31/ 2 tim es greater than expenditures for legally re­
quired social security.
They comprised 6. 3 percent of total expenditures for
compensation and amounted to 28 cents per paid hour. In general, the level of
pension expenditures did not appear to be measureably affected by unionization
or by the size of the company1s employment.
Over 80 percent of all employees worked for companies in which pension
expenditures were 3 percent or more of total compensation, and over one-fourth
were in companies with expenditures of 10 percent or m ore. Over one-third of
all employees worked for companies whose pension expenditures were 30 cents
or more for each hour paid for during 1964.

Compensation for Nonproduction Workers,

Over nine-tenths of all employees were in companies with contributory
pension and retirement plans; the remainder were employed by companies with
noncontributory plans. Companies with contributory plans had lower expenditures
(5.3 percent of total compensation) than did the few companies reporting expendi­
tures under noncontributory plans (7.3 percent of total compensation).

Savings and Thrift Plans.
More than nine-tenths of all pipeline em ­
ployees worked for companies that had expenditures for savings and thrift plans
in 1964.
Only a few small companies reported no expenditures in 1964 for
such plans.
Outlays in companies with expenditures for such plans comprised 3.8 p er­
cent of total compensation and ranged from 1 to 7 percent of total compensation.
When divided among all paid hours, these expenditures amounted to 17.5 cents
per hour and ranged from 4 to 35 cents per hour.

The average pipeline employee received pay for roughly 5 weeks of leave
time during 1964; the majority (76 percent) received 3 weeks or more of paid
vacation and almost all (90 percent) were in companies that had a practice of
paying for 8 holidays. Ninety-two percent of the workers were employed by com ­
panies in which 40 hours was the usual workweek for a majority of the employees.

Appendix A. Expenditures as Proportions of Payroll
In the body of the text, all supplements have been measured as a proportion of total
compensation. This approach allows one to examine the level and structure of compensation
expenditures. However, for some purposes, it may be desirable to examine expenditures
for pay supplements in different ways.
Two of the techniques often used are to express
these outlays as percentages of gross or of straight-time payroll. 16 The first appendix
table expresses supplementary expenditures in these term s. The second shows the percent
distribution of workers by employer expenditures for particular supplements as a percent
of gross payroll. It should be noted that the supplements when measured as a percent of
gross or straight-time payroll cannot be added to other payroll statistics since some sup­
plements are part of payroll while others are in addition to payroll.
The appendix tables
permit comparison of expenditures in the pipeline industry with similar statistics published
by BLS in prior years for other industries.

16

Straight-time pay is derived by subtracting overtim e, weekend, holiday, and shift premiums from gross payroll.

Appendix B. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey and Industry Classification
This study of employer expenditures for the compensation of employees covers all
companies in SIC 461— petroleum pipelines— classified in accordance with the 1957 edition
of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC) and 1963 Supplement prepared by the
U.S. Bureau of the Budget.
Survey coverage extended to the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Data relate
to the calendar year 1964, and are limited to irrevocable cash disbursements of employers
(thus excluding amounts segregated in bookkeeping transactions over which the company
retained control) for the compensation of employees.
Definition of Terms
Compensation, for purposes of this study, is defined as the sum of the payments,
subject to Federal withholding taxes, made by employers directly to their employees, before
deductions of any type, and the expenditures made by employers for legally required insurance
programs and private welfare plans to provide the worker with full— or partial— economic
security against a future contingency (e.g., unemployment, retirement, medical expenses, etc.).
Paid hours consist of aggregate hours, including paid leave hours, rest periods,
coffee breaks, machine downtime, and other nonleave hours paid for but not worked, for
which employers made direct payments to workers during the year. Working time excludes
paid leave time.
Expenditure ratios for "a ll companies" represent the expenditures for the practice
divided by total compensation for all companies— both those with and without expenditures—
whereas, the ratios for "companies with expenditures for the practice" relate the same
expenditures to the total compensation of only those establishments that reported an actual
expenditure. The expenditure rates represent the same expenditures divided by the c o rre ­
sponding man-hours.
The expenditure ratios used in the body of this report were obtained by using the
following formulas:
1.

Expenditures as a percent of compensation =
Expenditure for the practice
Total compensation (comprised of gross payroll,
private welfare, and legally required insurance
expenditures).

2.

x jqq

Expenditures in cents per paid hour =
____________Expenditure for the practice____________
Total paid hours including hours of paid leave.

3.

Expenditures in cents per working hour =
____________ Expenditure for the practice____________
Total paid hours minus hours of paid leave.

The practices studied, which are itemized in the tables, are believed to comprise
the major elements of compensation for workers in the pipeline industry. Some of the omitted
practices, however, may occasion important expenditures in particular companies. Among the
excluded practices were expenditures for such facilities as inplant medical care, cafeteria,
recreation, and parking.
The other terms used in this bulletin are defined on the questionnaire form , repro­
duced in appendix C, that was used in the study.




15

16
Collection of Data
Data were collected primarily by personal visits. However, mail questionnaires
were sent to a few companies in the sample. Personal visits also were made to a sample
of companies which had not responded to two mail requests.
Sampling Procedure
The survey was conducted on the basis of a highly stratified probability sample.
The sample was designed to permit presentation of data for the industry on a national level.
The list of companies from which the sample was selected was developed from lists
maintained by the State agencies administering the unemployment compensation laws and from
a list maintained by the Interstate Commerce Commission for regulatory purposes.
The sample was selected within the industry so as to yield the most accurate
estimates possible with the resources available. This was done by including in the sample
a greater proportion of large companies than of small. In general, a company's chance of
selection was roughly proportionate to its employment size.
Data were obtained from ZZ companies employing approximately 1 1,000 workers—
about 5 5 percent of the total employment in the industry during 1964.
Method of Estimation
Data for each sample company were weighted in accordance with the probability of
selection of that company. For instance, where 1 company out of Z was selected in a
size-industry class, it was considered as representing itself as well as another company,
i.e ., it was given a weight of Z. Thus, if the company had 1,000 hours of paid vacation
leave and 50,000 hours of paid hours of all classes, it would contribute Z, 000 vacation hours
and 100, 000 total hours to the final estimate.
Reporting Problems
Separate data by company and type of supplementary compensation practice were
collected in most cases. However, all companies do not keep records in a manner that
enables them to furnish actual figures in this detail, and some approximations had to be
accepted. Estimates, using collateral data, were made in certain cases where records were
not kept or were summarized only for specific practices.
It should be noted that errors in the use of estimating procedures would have to
be in the same direction in each case (overstatement o r understatement of actual values) to
have a cumulative effect on the accuracy of the r e s u l t s ,

GENERAL EXPLANATIONS

Please answer the questions which follow separately for operating and
nonoperating employees. If records do not permit reporting separate
figures for the two groups, and estimates cannot be made, enter a
combined figure and indicate that it is for operating and nonoperating
employees.
Operating Employees are supervisory and nonsupervisory employees
who work aboard moving vehicles, such as bus and taxi drivers;
marine engineers, seamen, cooks; and airline pilots. However, ex­
clude workers who merely move vehicles to or from loading, main­
tenance, or parking areas and operators of construction equipment
or loading devices such as baggage or forklift trucks.
Reports for
marine cargo handling should treat all pier personnel as operating
employees.
Nonoperating Employees include all supervisory and nonsupervisory
employees not classified as operating employees, such as pumpmen,
shop maintenance employees, and office workers. Reports for pipe­
lines should treat all employees as nonoperating employees.
If the only figure available combines data for several lines on this
questionnaire, report the combined figure and bracket the lines in­
cluded or otherwise indicate what is included in the figure reported.
If exact information is not available for an item, where possible please
provide a carefully considered estimate.
If any of the figures r e ­
ported are estimated, please list on page 8 the items which were
estimated and indicate how the estimates were made.

IF NO EXPENDITURES OR MAN-HOURS WERE INVOLVED DURING
1964 FOR A GIVEN ITEM, ENTER " 0 " IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY LINES BLANK.

COMPANIES IN THE AIR TRANSPORTATION, MARITIME, INTER­
CITY BUS, AND LOCAL TRANSIT INDUSTRIES SHOULD READ THE

Paid Vac ation s :
Report below the approximate number of employees who received vacation pay
directly from the company according to the amount of pay received during 1964
and not the time taken for vacation. If vacation pay was not a direct multiple of
weekly or hourly rates, report according to the number of weeks equivalent
to the pay reqeived. For example, if the amount of vacation pay was a per­
centage of annual earnings, report payments of about 2 percent as 1 week's
vacation pay, about 4 percent as 2 weeks' pay, etc.
Exclude employees
whose vacation payments were received from funds.
