Preface

This bulletin is one in a series of publications
by the Bur e a u of Labor Statistics on the magnitude of e m ­
ployer expenditures for selected supplementary employee
remuneration practices.
T h e current B L S p r o g r a m p r o ­
vides for studies in manufacturing industries every 3 years
and in selected nonmanufacturing industries in the inter­
vening 2 years. In addition, special studies are m a d e at
irregular intervals. 1

In two significant respects, the present study e x ­
pands the scope of the B u r e a u ’s surveys. Unlike previous
studies, which related to nonsupervisory employees only,
the present report contains data for both supervisory and
nonsupervisory employees.
Furthermore, w hereas p r e ­
vious publications contained data solely for production and
related workers, this analysis covers employees in all
classes of work, except nonoffice salesmen, and the fi­
nance, insurance, and real estate industries are largely
staffed with employees performing office functions.

This study w a s conducted in the B u r e a u ’s Divi­
sion of National W a g e and Salary Income by N o r m a n J.
Samuels, Chief of the Division, under the general direc­
tion of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant C o m m i s s i o n e r for
W a g e s and Industrial Relations. T h e statistical and s a m ­
pling techniques w e r e developed by S a m u e l E. C o h e n and
Theodore J. Golonka.
The analysis w a s prepared by
Gerald D. Weintraub, under the immediate supervision of
Victor J. Sheifer.

Employer Expenditures for Selected Supplementary
Remuneration Practices

Finance, Insurance, a n d

Real

Estate Industries, 1 9 6 1

Chapter I. Summary
In 1961, employees in the Nation*s finance, insurance, and real estate
industries received a sizable portion of their pay in the f o r m of supplements to
basic wages and salaries. Excluding data for nonoffice salesmen, 1 pay for leave
time accounted for 7. 8 percent of the gross payroll in these industries; p r e m i u m
pay for overtime, weekend, holiday, and late-shift w o r k accounted for 0. 7 p e r ­
cent; and Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses for 3. 5 percent. In
addition, employers m a d e payments in an a m o u n t equal to 3. 6 percent of gross
payroll for legally required insurance programs, and an additional 6. 9 percent
for selected types of private welfare plans.
E x p r essed in ter m s of cents per
hour paid for, the employer expenditures w e r e 20. 3 cents for paid leave; 1. 8 cents
for p r e m i u m pay; 9. 0 cents for Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses;
9.4 cents for legally required insurance; and 17.9 cents for the selected private
welfare plans. 2 (See chart 1 and table 1.)
Expenditures for Supervisory and Nonsupervisory E m p l o y e e s
E m p l o y e r expenditures for supervisory and nonsupervisory employees
varied in the different categories of supplementary compensation items. In terms
of percent of gross payroll, paid leave expenditures w e r e slightly higher for
supervisors— 8. 0 percent c o m p a r e d with 7. 7 percent for nonsupervisory e m ­
ployees.
However, in cents per hour paid for, leave expenditures w e r e c o n ­
siderably higher for supervisory (40. 4 cents) than for nonsupervisory employees
(15.7).
The greater difference in cents per hour reflects the higher hourly earn­
ings of the supervisory 'employees.
Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses, expressed both as a
percent of gross payroll and as cents per hour paid for, w e r e higher for super­
visors (5. 4 percent and 27.0 cents) than for nonsupervisory employees (2.6 p e r ­
cent and 5.3 cents).
Conversely, the p r e m i u m pay expenditures of 1.0 percent
and 2. 1 cents for nonsupervisory employees
w e r e m a r k e d l y higher than the
0. 1 percent and 0. 4 cent for supervisors. This results mainly f r o m the greater
frequency of p r e m i u m pay practices for nonsupervisory employees.
F o r both
employee groups, p r e m i u m pay expenditures w e r e relatively small.
Expenditures for legally required insurance programs, as a percent of
gross payroll, w e r e higher for nonsupervisory employees (4. 4 percent) than for
supervisors (2. 2 percent). Since legally required insurance p r o g r a m s c o m m o n l y
have a m a x i m u m possible contribution per employee, expenditures as a percent
of payroll would be expected to be less for the higher paid employee group.
In
cents per hour paid for, however, the 11.0-cent expenditure for supervisors w a s
2 . 0 cents higher than that for nonsupervisory employees.
1 Figures for nonoffice salesmen are excluded from the data in this bulletin.
2 Figures in this summary relate expenditures to payrolls and hours o f all establishments, whether or not they had
expenditures for the pay supplements. The chapters which follow contain measures showing the relations between ex­
penditures for supplements and payrolls and hours o f only those establishments which had expenditures for the supple­
ments.
The distinction between the two types of measures is considered in appendix A.

Interindustry Variations
Substantial variations in expenditures existed a m o n g the m a j o r industry
groups studied individually. This w a s true for each of the categories of supple­
m e n t a r y remuneration items.
Such variations reflect the diversity of conditions
a m o n g the industries examined. F o r example, although m a n y of these industries
are staffed largely by persons in office-type jobs, a substantial share of the
e m p l o y m e n t in real estate consists of blue-collar workers.
In percent of gross
payroll, paid leave expenditures ranged f r o m a high of 9. 1 percent in insurance
carriers to a low of 5. 8 percent in real estate.
Expenditures for p r e m i u m pay,
which w e r e relatively small in each of the m a j o r industry groups, w e r e highest
in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services (1. 1 p e r ­
cent) and lowest in insurance agents, brokers, and service (0. 3 percent).
The
greatest disparity w a s found between the 9. 1 percent paid for Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses by security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers,
exchanges, and services and the 1.2 percent by insurance carriers.
Except for
the marke d l y higher figure in real estate (4. 8 percent), expenditures for legally
required insurance payments ranged between 3. 6 and 2. 7 percent.
Expenditures
for private welfare plans ranged f r o m 9. 3 percent in banking to 4.1 percent in
real estate.
(See table 2. )
Expressed on a cents-per-hour-paid-for basis, expenditures were, with
one exception (legally required insurance payments), highest in security and c o m ­
modity brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services.
This reflects the relatively
high earnings level in this m a j o r industry group.
Expenditures for legally re­
quired insurance payments w e r e highest in real estate.

Establishment Variations
In addition to industry variations and differences in expenditures for
supervisory and nonsupervisory employees, substantial expenditure differences
existed a m o n g establishments within a given industry. F o r example, in banking,
s o m e establishments had no expenditures for the private welfare plans studied,
whereas 1 out of 8 employees w e r e in banks w h e r e expenditures for such plans
a mounted to 16 percent or m o r e of gross payroll.
(See table 25.)

Composition of Payroll Hours
In 1961, for all employees covered by the survey, paid leave hours c o n ­
stituted 8. 0 percent of the total n u m b e r of hours paid for.
This included 3. 7 p e r ­
cent for vacations, 2.9 percent for holidays, 1.2 percent for sick leave, and
0. 2 percent for military, jury, witness, voting, and personal leave. (See table 31. )
A m o n g the m a j o r industry groups studied individually, paid leave hours
varied f r o m 9.1 percent of total hours paid,for in insurance carriers, and 8.9 p e r ­
cent in banking, to 5. 6 percent in real estate.
In each of the m a j o r industry
groups, vacation hours w e r e the m a i n f o r m of paid leave hours.
F o r supervisory employees in all industries combined, paid leave hours
accounted for 8. 2 percent of total hours paid for, w h ereas for nonsupervisory
employees the figure w a s 7. 9 percent.
Vacation hours as a percent of total
hours paid for w e r e greater for supervisory than for nonsupervisory employees.
Conversely, sick leave hours w e r e a greater percent of total hours paid for in
the case of nonsupervisory employees. Little difference w a s found between super­
visory and nonsupervisory employees with respect to holiday and miscellaneous
leave hours as percents of total hours paid for.

Chapter II. Paid Leave

Total Leave
A l m o s t all of the employees in the Nation*s finance, insurance, and real
estate industries w e r e in establishments which paid for s o m e type of leave during
1961. Paid vacations and holidays w er e the principal items; establishments e m ­
ploying nearly all workers in these industries had expenditures for them.
Fourfifths of the workers w e r e in establishments with payments for sick leave and
m o r e than half in establishments with expenditures for military, jury, witness,
voting, and personal leave.
(See table 3. )
Expenditures for all forms of paid leave, mainly vacation and holiday
pay, amounted to 7. 8 percent of the gross payroll of all establishments in the
industries studied.
Vacation pay amounted to 3.8 percent of the gross payroll
and holiday pay to 2. 7 percent.
Sick pay accounted for 1. 1 percent and other
paid leave for 0. 2 percent.
Since payments for leave w e r e quite c o m m o n in the
establishments surveyed, expenditures expressed as a percent of the payrolls of
establishments with such payments frequently w e r e similar to the percentages
based upon the payrolls of all establishments, particularly for paid vacations
and holidays.
(See chart 2 and table 4.)
Total paid leave expenditures a mounted to 8. 0 percent of gross payroll
for supervisors and 7. 7 percent for nonsupervisory employees.
In the m a j o r
industry groups studied, the largest differences between the two employee groups
w e r e in banking— 9.4 percent for supervisors and 8. 3 percent for nonsupervisory
workers— and in the security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and
services group— 6. 6 and 5. 8 percent, respectively.
A m o n g the industry groups for which separate data are presented, total
paid leave expenditures for all employees covered in the survey ranged f r o m a
high of 9. 1 percent of gross payroll in insurance carriers to lows of 5. 8 p e r ­
cent in real estate and 6. 0 percent in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers,
exchanges, and services.
These figures varied only slightly f r o m those for e s ­
tablishments with expenditures.
W h e n total pay for leave was divided by total hours paid for by all e s ­
tablishments, the expenditures amounted to 20. 3 cents per hour, consisting of
9. 9 cents for vacations, 7. 1 cents for holidays, 2. 9 cents for sick leave, and
0. 5 cent for other paid leave. 3 For only those establishments having expendi­
tures for the various practices, the averages w e r e 20.5 cents for all leave,
10.0 cents for vacations, 7.3 for holidays, 3.5 for sick leave, and 0.8 cent an
hour for other paid leave.
Largely because of differences in salary levels, there w e r e striking
differences in cents-per-hour-paid-for expenditures between supervisory and
nonsupervisory employees.
F o r all establishments, total paid leave averaged
40. 4 cents for supervisory and 15. 7 cents for nonsupervisory employees.
The security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services
group had higher cents-per-hour expenditures for total paid leave than any other
m a j o r industry group studied separately— 24. 9 cents for all employees, 52. 3 cents
3 Because o f rounding, sums o f individual items may not equal totals.

for supervisors, and 20. 1 cents for nonsupervisory workers; the real estate
group had the lowest average of expenditures— 13.7 cents, 29.9 cents, and
1 1 .2
cents, respectively.
Presentation of paid leave expenditures in terms of data for all estab­
lishments combined fails to show the variations in practices a m o n g individual
establishments.
Establishment expenditures for total paid leave in the finance,
insurance, and real estate industries ranged f r o m less than 1 percent to 14 p e r ­
cent of gross payroll and over.
A l m o s t three-fifths of the workers w e r e in e s ­
tablishments in which total expenditures for paid leave w e r e between 6 and
10 percent of gross payroll.
Nearly three-fourths of the employees in banking
w e r e in establishments in which such expenditures also ranged between 6 and
10 percent, while about 85 percent of those in credit agencies other than banks
w o r k e d in establishments with expenditures f r o m 4 to 9 percent.
Two-fifths of
the employees in insurance carriers w e r e in establishments spending 8 to 10 p e r ­
cent of gross payroll for paid leave, and twice that fraction in insurance agents,
brokers, and service w e r e in establishments with expenditures between 4 and
10 percent.
(See table 5. )
For purposes of this study, paid leave expenditures included only those
payments m a d e by the c o m p a n y directly to the employees; employer p a yments to
vacation and holiday funds, which in these industries are negligible, w e r e in­
cluded under private welfare plans. Similarly, c o m p a n y payments to insurance
carriers or special funds, which pay health and sickness benefits to workers,
w e r e classified as payments to private welfare plans, rather than as sick leave.
In the few States w h e r e t e mporary disability insurance is required by law, c o m ­
pany payments m a d e directly to the w o r k e r under self-insurance provisions of the
law w e r e considered legally required payment's rather than sick leave.

Paid Vacations
Approximately 98 percent of all employees in the finance, insurance, and
real estate industries w e r e in establishments with expenditures for paid vacations.
The corresponding figure for nonsupervisory workers w a s nearly the same; h o w ­
ever, 7 percent of the supervisors w e r e in establishments which had no vacation
expenditures for such employees.
Particularly noticeable is the relatively low
figure in real estate, w h e r e only 74 percent of the supervisors w e r e in estab­
lishments which had vacation expenditures for supervisors in 1961.
In each of
the m a j o r industry groups studied, over 90 percent of all employees w e r e in
establishments with vacation expenditures.
Vacation payments amounted to 3.8 percent of the gross payroll for all
employees during 1961.
The spread between the figures for supervisory and n o n ­
supervisory workers w a s greater for vacations than for any of the other paid leave
items, 4.4 percent of the gross payroll for the f o r m e r and 3.5 percent for the
latter group.
F o r all employees, insurance carriers had the highest expendi­
tures found (4. 2 percent of gross pay); security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers,
exchanges, and services had the lowest (2.9 percent).
In cents per hour paid for, expenditures in all establishments amounted
to 9.9 cents, and in establishments with expenditures, to 10.0 cents.
The dif­
ference in expenditures between supervisory and nonsupervisory employees w a s
m o r e pronounced in cents per hour paid for than in percent of gross payroll,
averaging 21.9 cents per hour for supervisors and 7. 1 cents for nonsupervisory
employees.
Limited to those establishments which had expenditures, the figures
w e r e 23. 3 cents for the supervisors and 7. 2 cents for the nonsupervisory group.




9

F or all employees, expenditures ranged f r o m an average of 12. 0 cents per hour
in all establishments in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges,
and services to 7. 3 cents in all establishments in real estate.
Paid Holidays
Percentages of employees in establishments which had expenditures for
paid holidays w e r e similar to those for paid vacations, exceeding 90 percent in
all industries with the exception of real estate.
Holiday pay expenditures amounted to 2. 7 percent of gross pay in all
establishments and 2. 8 percent in establishments with expenditures for the p r a c ­
tice. P a y m e n t s for employee groups w e r e almost equal— 2. 7 percent of the all­
establishment gross pay for supervisors and 2. 8 percent for nonsupervisory e m ­
ployees.
Holiday pay expenditures for all employees ranged f r o m 3. 1 percent
of gross payroll in insurance carriers and 3. 0 percent in banking to 2. 2 p e r ­
cent in both real estate and security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges,
and services.
Holiday expenditures amounted to 7. 1 cents per hour paid for in all e s ­
tablishments and 7. 3 cents in those with holiday expenditures.
Expenditures for
supervisors w e r e 13.4 cents per hour paid for in all establishments and for n o n ­
supervisory workers, 5.6 cents.
The maj o r differences between averages for
all establishments and those with expenditures for paid holidays w e r e found in
the real estate group and for supervisors in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers,
dealers, exchanges, and services w h e r e less than 90 percent of the workers w e r e
in establishments with holiday expenditures. These w e r e the only industry groups
in which the average expenditure differed by m o r e than 1 cent f r o m the all­
industry average: Real estate (5.1 cents) and security and c o m m o d i t y brokers,
dealers, exchanges, and services (9. 1 cents).
Paid Sick Leave
About four-fifths of the employees in the finance, insurance, and real
estate industries w e r e in establishments which m a d e payments for sick leave.
T he figure for nonsupervisory employees w a s about the s a m e as that for all e m ­
ployees, but only about 60 percent of the supervisors w e r e in establishments
which had sick leave expenditures for this employee group.
A m o n g the m a j o r
industry groups studied, the highest proportions of employees (over 90 percent)
w e r e in banking and in insurance carriers; the lowest proportion w a s in real
estate, with just over 50 percent of the employees in establishments with sick
leave expenditures.
Sick leave payments accounted for 1. 1 percent of gross payroll for e m ­
ployees in all establishments and 1. 3 percent in establishments which had sick
leave expenditures in 1961.
The corresponding figures by employee groups w e r e
0. 9 percent and 1. 3 percent for supervisors and 1. 2 percent and 1. 5 percent for
nonsupervisory employees.
Variation a m o n g m a j o r industry groups w a s c o n ­
siderable, ranging f r o m 1.5 percent in insurance carriers and 1.4 percent in
banking to 0. 5 percent in real estate.
Greater divergence is evident w h e n sick leave expenditures are presented
on a cents-per-hour-paid-for basis.
The average w a s 2.9 cents for all establish­
m ents and 3. 5 cents for those which had sick leave expenditures.
The averages
for supervisors w e r e 4. 3 cents and 6. 9 cents, respectively, and for nonsu p e r ­
visory employees, 2. 5 and 3. 1 cents.
B y industry studied, all-establishment
averages ranged f r o m 3. 9 cents in insurance carriers to 1.2 cents in real estate.

Other Paid L e a v e (Military, Jury, Witness, Voting, and P e r s o n a l )

A b o u t 56 percent of the e m p l o y e e s w o r k e d in establishments w h i c h h a d
expenditures for one or m o r e of the miscellaneous f o r m s of paid leave in-1961.
A s with the other types of paid leave, the percentage for the n o n s u p e r v i s o r y
g r oup w a s a l m o s t the s a m e as that for all e m p l o y e e s , but fewer than 40 percent
of the supervisors w e r e in establishments w h i c h h a d other paid leave expenditures
for supervisory e m p l o y e e s .
In e a c h of the m a j o r industry groups studied, the
percentage w a s l ower for the supervisors.
B y industry group studied, p r o p o r ­
tions of w o r k e r s in establishments with miscellaneous leave expenditures r a n g e d
f r o m four-fifths in insurance carriers to about one-fifth in real estate.

Expenditures for other paid leave a m o u n t e d to 0. 2 percent of the gross
payroll in all establishments, and 0. 3 percent in those with expenditures for this
item.
Expenditures for the supervisory and n o n s u p e r v i s o r y groups w e r e equal
to the all-employee figures.
O n an all-establishment basis, the highest figure
for any m a j o r industry group e x a m i n e d w a s 0. 3 percent in insurance carriers
and the lowest w a s less than 0. 05 percent in real estate.

W h e n e x p r e s s e d in cents per hour paid for, the average w a s 0. 5 cent
for all emp l o y e e s ; h o w e v e r , the expenditure for supervisors w a s twice that for
nonsup e r v i s o r y e m p l o y e e s — 0. 8 cent and 0. 4 cent, respectively. Establishments
with expenditures for other paid leave spent, in cents per hour paid for, 0. 8 cent
for all e m p l o y e e s , 1.8 cents for supervisors, and 0.7 cent for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y
emp l o y e e s .
All-establishment averages r a n g e d f r o m 0. 7 cent in insurance c a r ­
riers to 0. 1 cent in real estate.
F o r establishments with expenditures, averages
r a n g e d f r o m 0. 9 cent per hour in both credit agencies other than ba n k s and in­
surance agents, brokers, and service to 0.6 cent in real estate.

P r e m i u m p a y expenditures w e r e far m o r e c o m m o n for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y than for
supervisory e m p l o y e e s , the percentages being 75 percent for the f o r m e r and only
12 percent for the latter.
T h e proportions of w o r k e r s in establishments paying
p r e m i u m s varied considerably a m o n g the m a j o r industry groups studied— ranging
f r o m about 85 to 90 percent in insurance carriers, banking, and security a n d
c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, a nd services; to about 45 percent in
insurance agents, brokers, a nd service a nd real estate. (See table 11.)

T h r o u g h o u t this report, expenditures for p r e m i u m p a y refer only to the
extra p a y for the practice; they do not include the regular pay. 4 P r e m i u m p a y ­
m e n t s accounted for 0. 7 percent of the gross payroll of all establishments in the
industries in this study, a nd consisted a l m o s t exclusively of daily overtime, w e e k l y
overtime, and w e e k e n d a n d holiday w o r k p r e m i u m s ; less than 0. 05 percent of the
gross payroll w a s accounted for by shift differentials.
Establishments w h i c h h a d
p r e m i u m p a y expenditures spent 0. 9 percent of the all-employee gross p a y for
th e m .
T h e all-establishment expenditures of 1.0 percent for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y e m ­
ployees w a s 10 t i m e s that for supervisors.
T h e figures in establishments with
expenditures w e r e considerably closer— 0.7 percent for supervisors a n d 1.3 p e r ­
cent for nons u p e r v i s o r y e m p l o y e e s .
P r e m i u m p a y for alm o s t all of the m a j o r
industry group s studied accounted for b e t w e e n 0.6 a n d 0.9 percent of gross pay,
except for security a nd c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, a nd services
(1.1 percent) a nd insurance agents, brokers, and service (0.3 percent).
Ranking
of the industries differed w h e n the outlays w e r e c o m p u t e d only for establishments
with expenditures. O n this basis the highest expenditures o c c u r r e d in real estate—
1.9 percent— a nd the lowest in insurance carriers a nd insurance agents, brokers,
and service— both 0.6 percent.
(See chart 3 and table 12.)

F o r ev e r y hou r paid for by all establishments in these industries, an
a verage of 1.8 cents w a s e x p e n d e d on p r e m i u m p a y — 1.7 cents for overtime,
w e e k e n d , and holiday w o r k , and 0. 1 cent for late-shift w o r k .
T h e a v e r a g e for
total p r e m i u m p a y in all industries for all e m p l o y e e s in establishments with such
expenditures w a s 2. 4 cents; 3. 4 cents for supervisory a nd 2. 7 cents for n o n s u p e r ­
visory w o r k e r s .
F o r the m a j o r industry groups exam i n e d , p r e m i u m p a y r a n g e d
f r o m 4. 4 cents per h o u r paid for in security a nd c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers,
exchanges, and services to 0. 7 cent in insurance agents, brokers, a n d service.
T h e relatively high expenditure per hour for the f o r m e r g r o u p reflects both a high
expenditure as a percent of gross pay, in c o m p a r i s o n with other industry groups,
as well as a high hourly earnings level.

Establishments e m p l o y i n g 73 percent of all w o r k e r s , excluding outside
salesmen, in the finance, insurance, and real estate industries in 1961, reported

holiday work; c o r r e s ponding figures w e r e 9 percent for supervisors and 75 p e r ­

T h o s e with the

23 percent in banking to 2 percent in credit agencies other than banks.
In the
insurance agents, brokers, and service group, no establishment in the s a m p l e
reported expenditures for shift differentials during 1961.
F o r finance, insurance, and real estate industries as a whole, e x p e n d ­

T h e figure for supervisors w a s less

T h e highest a v e r a g e

in insurance carriers.

Intraindustry variations are not presented on a percent-of-gross-payroll basis because less than 10 percent of the
employees were in establishments with premium pay expenditures amounting to 2 percent of gross pay or more.

Chapter IV. Christmas, Yearend, and Other Irregular Bonuses

In finance, insurance, and real estate industries, in 1961, 69 percent of
the w o rkers w e r e in establishments which had expenditures for Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses. F o r all industries combined, the proportions,
by employee group, w e r e approximately the s a m e as the all-employee figure—
62 percent for supervisors and 65 percent for nonsupervisory employees.
How­
ever, the proportion w a s substantially higher for nonsupervisory than for super­
visory employees in two of the m a j o r industry groups exami n e d — security and
c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services (97 percent for the fo r m e r
and 7 4 percent for the latter) and insurance agents, brokers, and service (66 p e r ­
cent and 50 percent, respectively). B y m a j o r industry group studied, the figures
for all employees ranged f r o m 95 percent in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers,
dealers, exchanges, and services to 54 percent in real estate.
(See table 15. )
Expenditures for Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses, which
constituted 3.5 percent of gross payroll for all employees combined, a m o u n t e d to
5.4 percent of gross payroll for supervisory employees and 2.6 percent for n o n ­
supervisory workers. In establishments with expenditures for such bonuses, the
figures w e r e 5.0 percent for all employees, 8. 3 percent for supervisory e m ­
ployees, and 3. 9 percent for nonsupervisory employees.
Expenditures for b o ­
nuses w e r e particularly high in the security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, e x ­
changes, and services group, where, on an all-establishment basis, they amo u n t e d
to 9. 1 percent of gross payroll for all employees, 13.0 percent for supervisors,
and 7.6 percent for nonsupervisory workers, and on an establishment-withexpenditures basis to 9.4, 16.5, and 7.8 percent, respectively. (See table 16.)
Bonus expenditures for all employees a m o u n t e d to 9. 0 cents per hour
paid for in all establishments and 13. 1 cents in establishments with expenditures
for bonuses.
T h e figures for supervisors w e r e 27.0 cents for all establishments
and 43. 1 cents for those which had expenditures for bonuses; for nonsupervisory
workers, the figures w e r e 5. 3 cents for all establishments and 8. 1 cents for
those with expenditures. A m o n g the industry groups for which separate averages
w e r e determined, by far the highest w e r e in the security and c o m m o d i t y brokers,
dealers, exchanges, and services group, w h e r e on an all-establishment basis,
expenditures w e r e 37. 5 cents per hour paid for in the case of all employees,
103.8 cents per hour for supervisors, and 26.1 cents for nonsupervisory e m ­
ployees.
In this industry group, averages for establishments with expenditures
w e r e 39.3 cents per hour paid for all employees, 139.7 cents for supervisors,
and 27.0 cents for nonsupervisory employees.
Expenditures for Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses ranged
f r o m under 2 percent of gross pay in s o m e establishments to 16 percent and over
in others in the finance, insurance, -and real estate industries. Nearly 30 percent
of all employees w e r e in establishments which spent under 2 percent of the gross
payroll for bonuses, and m o r e than half w e r e in establishments expending under
6
percent.
Figures for the nonsupervisory group w e r e close to those for all
employees, but only 22 percent of the supervisors w e r e in establishments which
spent under 2 percent of gross payroll for bonuses for this group, and about twofifths of the supervisors w e r e in establishments which spent under 6 percent.
At




27

28

the other extreme, 8 percent of the supervisors w e r e in establishments with e x ­
penditures for these employees of 16 percent or m o r e .
In the security and c o m ­
modity brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services group, which had the highest
relative expenditures of any of the groups studied, 14 percent of all employees,
2 9 percent of the supervisors, and 9 percent of the nonsupervisory w o rkers w e r e
in establishments which had bonus expenditures of 16 percent and over.
In c o n ­
trast, m o r e than two-fifths of the employees in insurance carriers, which had
the lowest percent-of-gross-payroll outlay found, w e r e in establishments having
expenditures for Christmas, yearend, and other irregular bonuses of under 2 p e r ­
cent.

Chapter V. Legally Required Insurance Payments

Total Legally Required P a y m e n t s

E m p l o y e r payments under legally required insurance programs, unlike
outlays for leave, p r e m i u m pay, and bonuses, typically are in addition to p a y ­
roll expenditures rather than being parts of payroll.
In 1961, these p a yments
w e r e equal to 3. 6 percent of gross payroll.
P a y m e n t s for old-age, survivors,
and disability insurance equaled 2. 2 percent of gross payroll; u n e m p l o y m e n t c o m ­
pensation, 1.1 percent; w o r k m e n ' s compensation, 0.2 percent; and other legally
required insurance (mainly temporar y disability insurance in California, N e w
Jersey, and N e w York), 0. 1 percent.
Because all establishments are covered
by s o m e legally required insurance program, expenditures for these items are
presented mainly on an all-establishment basis. In all industries combined, e x ­
penditures for nonsupervisory workers, 4. 4 percent of gross payroll, w e r e twice
those for supervisors.
A m o n g the m a j o r industry groups studied, expenditures
ranged f r o m a high of 4. 8 percent in real estate to a low of 2. 7 percent in the
security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services group, with
the expenditures of the other groups clustering between 3. 3 and 3. 6 percent. (See
chart 4 and table 19. )

In all industry groups combined, expenditures for legally required in­
surance averaged 9.4 cents per hour paid for, of which 5. 8 cents was for old-age,
survivors, and disability insurance; 2. 8 cents for u n e m p l o y m e n t compensation;
0 . 6 cent for w o r k m e n ' s
compensation; and 0. 1 cent for the other legally required
insurance.
Although as a percent of gross pay, expenditures for these p r o g r a m s
w e r e twice as great for the nonsupervisory employees as for the supervisors, in
cents per hour paid for, the figures w e r e 11.0 cents for supervisors and 9. 0 cents
for nonsupervisory employees.
This w a s caused mainly by higher old-age, s ur­
vivors, and disability insurance payments for the supervisors, as a result of their
higher average annual earnings. O n an all-employee basis, expenditures for total
legally required insurance w e r e higher in the real estate and security and c o m ­
modity brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services groups (11.2 and 11.1 cents
per hour paid for, respectively) than in the other m a j o r industry groups studied.

In establishments in ,the finance, insurance, and real estate industries,
expenditures for legally required payments ranged f r o m under 1 percent of gross
payroll to 8 percent and over. M o r e than four-fifths of the workers w e r e e m ­
ployed in establishments w h ose legally required p ayments equaled between 2 and
5 percent of gross payroll, and m o r e than two-fifths w e r e in establishments with
expenditures between 3 and 4 percent.
Substantial clusterings w e r e observed in
m o s t of the individual m a j o r industry groups studied.
Thus, nearly two-thirds
of all employees, excluding outside salesmen, in insurance carriers w e r e in e s ­
tablishments with expenditures between 3 and 4 percent.
Banking establishments
with expenditures of between 2 and 5 percent employed 98 percent of the industry's
workers.
In the credit agencies other than banks, in the security and c o m m o d i t y
brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services, and in the insurance agents, brokers,
and service groups, nearly three-fourths of the employees w e r e in establishments
which spent amounts equal to between 2 and 4 percent of their gross payroll for
legally required insurance payments.
Greater variation a m o n g establishments
w a s found in real estate. (See table 20. )

Survivors, and Disability Insurance (Social Security)

In 1961, the emplo y e r ' s contribution for old-age, survivors, and disability
insurance a m o u n t e d to 3. 0 percent of the first $4, 800 earn e d b y each employee.
In the finance, insurance, and real estate industries, emplo y e r s ' O A S D I contri­
butions, as percentages of gross payroll, w e r e 2.2 percent for all emplo y e e s ,
1.4 percent for supervisors, and 2.7 percent for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y w o r k e r s .
Only
limited variation existed a m o n g m o s t of the m a j o r industry groups e x a m i n e d ; the
only group in w h i c h there w e r e differences of m o r e than two-tenths of a p e r c e n t ­
age point f r o m the all-industry figures w a s the security and c o m m o d i t y brokers,
dealers, exchanges, a nd services group, in w h i c h the expenditures w e r e 1.6 p e r ­
cent, 0. 9 percent, and 1.9 percent, respectively.
W h e n these expenditures w e r e c o m p u t e d as cents p e r hou r paid for, e x ­
penditures a v e r a g e d 5.8 cents for all e m p l o y e e s , 7.2 cents for supervisors, and
5.4 cents for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y w o r k e r s . A m o n g the industries studied individually,
security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services h a d the highest
a v e rage expenditure for all e m p l o y e e s — 6. 6 cents p e r hour.
U n e m p l o y m e n t Compensation
Unlike O A S D I , u n e m p l o y m e n t c o m p e n s a t i o n is, to a considerable extent,
regulated b y the individual States, and variations a m o n g State provisions affect
e m p l o y e r contributions.
T h e r e are differing statutory ceilings on the earnings
base, differing m a x i m u m contribution rates, and differing u se of experience rating
s y s t e m s w h i c h m a y , for s o m e establishments, require n o p a y m e n t s to the State.
E m p l o y e r p a y m e n t s for u n e m p l o y m e n t c o m p e n s a t i o n in the industries s u r v e y e d
w e r e equal to 1.1 percent of the gross payroll for all emp l o y e e s ; expenditures
for supervisory and n o n s u p e r v i s o r y e m p l oyees, separately, w e y e 0. 6 percent and
1.4 percent, respectively.
T h e highest expenditure in the industry groups studied
w a s the 1.5 percent of gross p a y in the real estate industry; all other industry
groups ranged b e t w e e n 0. 9 percent and 1. 1 percent.
In cents p e r h o u r paid for, the all-industry figures w e r e 2. 8 cents for
all e mployees, 2.9 cents for supervisory, and 2.8 cents for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y e m ­
ployees.
T h e security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and s e r v ­
ices and the real estate groups had the highest a v e r a g e all-employee e x p endi­
tures— 3. 7 cents p e r h o u r paid for in the f o r m e r and 3. 5 cents in the latter
industry group.
All other m a j o r industry groups e x a m i n e d had averages of either
2. 5 or 2. 6 cents.
W o r k m e n ' s Compensation
M e t h o d s of financing w o r k m e n ' s c o m p e n s a t i o n p r o g r a m s vary. Financing
m a y be through State funds, private insurance carriers, or self-insurance.
The
net expenditures of c o m p a n i e s qualifying as self-insurers are included in this
survey.
In the finance, insurance, and real estate industries as a whole, e x ­
penditures for w o r k m e n ' s c o m p e n s a t i o n w e r e relatively small; they equaled only
0. 2 percent of gross p a y for all e m p l o y e e s , 0. 1 percent for supervisors, and
0. 3 percent for n o n s u p e r v i s o r y w o r k e r s .
T h e all-employee figures for industries
studied separately w e r e 0. 1 percent of gross payroll in all industries except in­
s urance agents, brokers, and service (0. 2 percent) and real estate (0. 8 percent).
H i gher expenditures in the real estate industry for w o r k m e n ' s c o m p e n s a t i o n are
caused b y the relatively large n u m b e r of people in this industry w h o are in n o n ­
office jobs, such as janitors, building superintendents, a nd m a i n t e n a n c e m e n .




35

E x p r e s s e d in cents p e r hour paid for, w o r k m e n ' s c o m p e n s a t i o n expendi­
tures w e r e 0. 6 cent p e r h o u r for both all e m p l o y e e s and n o n s u p e r v i s o r y w o r k e r s
and 0. 7 cent for supervisors. Expenditures in all m a j o r industry groups studied
ranged b e t w e e n 0. 3 and 0. 5 cent p e r hou r paid for, except for real estate, in
w h i c h the av e r a g e w a s 1.9 cents.
O ther Legally R e q u i r e d Insurance
Other legally required benefits consisted, for the m o s t part, of t e m p o r a r y
disability insurance. S u c h insurance is designed prima r i l y to provide cas h b e n e ­
fits to e m p l o y e e s unable to w o r k o w i n g to n o n w o r k - c o n n e c t e d illness or accident.
T e m p o r a r y disability insurance legislation is found in four States— California,
N e w Jersey, N e w York, and R h o d e Island.
E m p l o y e r s m u s t contribute t owards
the financing of the p r o g r a m only in N e w Jersey, and m a y do so u n d e r certain
conditions in N e w Y o r k and California; the R h o d e Island p r o g r a m is entirely e m ­
ployee financed. 6
Expenditures for other legally required insurance w e r e equal to m e r e l y
0. 1 percent of the gross payroll of all establishments in the industries studied.
O n a cents-per-hour-paid-for basis, expenditures for all e m p l o y e e s in the finance,
insurance, and real estate industries w e r e 0. 1 cent p e r hour. Expenditures w e r e
small even w h e n related to the payrolls and hours of only establishments with
these p a y m e n t s — 0. 2 percent of gross payroll and .0. 6 cent p e r hour paid for.

Total Private Welfare Plans
Expenditures for private welfare plans could not be computed separately
for supervisory and nonsupervisory employees. Commonly, establishments in the
finance, insurance, and real estate industries have a single plan for all workers,
and expenditure records are not maintained separately for individual employee
groups. Consequently, the data in this chapter apply to all employees combined.
Over 90 percent of the employees in the finance, insurance, and real
estate industries were in establishments which spent m o n e y during 1961 for at
least one of the private welfare plans studied. For the individual plans studied,
the percent of workers in establishments with expenditures varied from 89 per­
cent for health, accident, and life insurance plans; 71 percent for pension and
retirement plans; 29 percent for severance or dismissal pay; 3 percent for savings
and thrift plans; 2 percent for stock purchase plans; to less than 1 percent for
vacation and holiday funds.
Except for the real estate group, in which estab­
lishments with expenditures for private welfare plans employed only about twothirds of the employees, the proportions in the major industry groups examined
ranged from 99 percent in banking and insurance carriers to 89 percent in insur­
ance agents, brokers, and service.
(See table 22.)
Employer contributions to the selected private welfare plans equaled
6.9 percent of the gross payroll of all establishments.
Expenditures for these
plans (except severance pay) were primarily in addition to expenditures for pay­
roll. The major expenditures were for pension and retirement plans, amounting
to 4. 5 percent; and health, accident, and life insurance, 1.9 percent. None of
the remaining plans entailed expenditures exceeding 0. 2 percent of gross payroll.
For establishments with expenditures for the practice, 7.4 percent was added to
gross payroll for the selected private welfare plans; 6. 1 percent for pension and
retirement plans; 2. 1 percent for health, accident, and life insurance; and 0. 3 per­
cent for severance or dismissal pay. 7 A m o n g the major industry groups studied,
expenditures for private welfare plans ranged from 9. 3 percent of gross payroll
in banking to 4. 1 percent in real estate.
Figures for establishments with ex­
penditures ranged from 9. 3 percent in banking to 4.8 percent in insurance agents,
brokers, and service.
(See chart 5 and table 23.)
For each payroll hour paid, establishments in the finance, insurance,
and real estate industries spent an additional 17.9 cents for the selected private
welfare plans in 1961. A m o n g those establishments with expenditures, the figure
amounted to 19.4 cents for each hour.
Private welfare plan expenditures, ex­
pressed separately for all establishments and establishments with expenditures,
averaged 11.7 and 16.2 cents per hour paid for for pension and retirement plans;
4.9 and 5.5 cents for health, accident, and life insurance; and 0.2 and 0.7 cent
for severance and dismissal pay. In all establishments, 0.4 cent per hour paid
for was spent for savings and thrift plans, 0. 1 cent for stock purchase plans,
and less than 0. 05 cent for vacation and holiday funds. Individual industry ex­
penditures found for total private welfare plans averaged from 22.5 cents in se­
curity and commodity brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services and 22. 3 cents

in banking to 9. 5 cents in real estate and 12. 3 cents in the insurance agents,
brokers, and service group.
Expenditures for total private welfare plans in individual establishments
ranged f r o m under 1 percent of gross pay to 16 percent or m o r e . In the banking
industry, m o r e than two-fifths of the employees w e r e in establishments with e x ­
penditures equal to between 4 and 9 percent of the gross payroll for private welfare
plans, and about one-eighth in establishments with expenditures of 16 percent or
more.
O v e r two-fifths of the employees in credit agencies other than banks w e r e
in establishments with expenditures under 5 percent.
About half the w o rkers in
the security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services and in the
insurance agents, brokers, and service groups w e r e in establishments with e x ­
penditures of less than 4 percent of gross payroll. In the real estate industry,
one-third of the workers w e r e in establishments with no expenditures and onethird in establishments with expenditures equal to less than 4 percent of payroll.
(See table 25.)

Health,

Accident,

and Life Insurance

T h e concept of health, accident, and life insurance used in this survey
e n c o mpasses a variety of benefits, including hospitalization, medical, and surgical
benefits; sickness and accident insurance; accidental death and d i s m e m b e r m e n t
insurance; and life insurance.
In 1961, establishments employing 89 percent of the work e r s in finance,
insurance, and real estate industries reported expenditures for s o m e health, a c ­
cident, and life insurance benefits. T h e highest proportion w a s found in insurance
carriers (98 percent), the lowest in real estate (65 percent).
Insurance p r e m i u m s equal to 1.9 percent of the industries* gross p a y ­
roll purchased health, accident, and life insurance in 1961.
T h e banking and
insurance carriers grojups had the highest relative expenditures of the m a j o r in­
dustry groups studied, 2. 1 percent; the lowest w e r e in the real estate and s e ­
curity and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services groups, 1.6 p e r ­
cent.
Those establishments which had expenditures for health, accident, and
life insurance, spent an amo u n t equal to 2. 1 percent of gross pay.
Except for
1 .6
percent in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and serv­
ices, establishments with expenditures in each of the other industries w e r e within
0 . 1 percentage point of the all-industry figure.
E m p l o y e r expenditures under noncontributory plans w e r e s o m e w h a t higher
than under contributory plans— 2. 4 percent of gross payroll under the f o r m e r and
2. 0 percent under the latter. In each of the industry groups examined, employer
expenditures as a percent of gross pay w e r e higher for establishments with e x ­
penditures under noncontributory plans, but the difference varied f r o m industry
to industry.
(See table 24. )
Translating these expenditures into cents per hour paid for, 4. 9 cents
per hour w a s spent by all establishments and 5. 5 cents by only those with e x ­
penditures. B y m a j o r industry group studied, expenditures w e r e highest in s e ­
curity and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services, averaging
6.5 cents per hour for all establishments and 6.8 cents for establishments with
expenditures. T h e lowest average expenditure w a s in real estate— 3.7 cents, but
the lowest average for establishments with expenditures w a s in banking and in
credit agencies other than banks— 5. 3 cents.
T h e average for all establishments
with contributory plans, 5.2 cents per hour paid for, w a s lower than that for
establishments with noncontributory plans, 6.2 cents.




42

Pension and Retirement Plans
In 1961, a total of 71 percent of the employees in finance, insurance,
and real estate industries w e r e in establishments with expenditures for pension
and retirement plans. T h e proportions varied considerably a m o n g the industries
studied, f r o m 90 percent in insurance carriers to 38 percent in real estate.
Pension and retirement expenditures equaled 4.5 percent of the gross
payroll of all establishments and 6. 1 percent of those which had expenditures
in 1961.
F o r all establishments, the highest m a j o r industry group payments
found w e r e 6.1 percent in banking and 5.6 percent in insurance carriers; the
lowest w e r e 2.2 percent in real estate and 2. 3 percent in insurance agents,
brokers, and service.
In those establishments in which both the employer and the w o r k e r s c o n ­
tributed, the employer's share equaled 5.8 percent of the gross payroll; in e s ­
tablishments with noncontributory plans, employer expenditures equaled 6. 4 p e r ­
cent. However, in three of the m a j o r industry groups studied, banking; insurance
agents, brokers, and service; and real estate, employer expenditures w e r e higher
in establishments with expenditures for contributory plans.
E m p l o y e r contributions towards pension and retirement benefits a m o u n t e d
to 11.7 cents per hour paid for in all establishments and 16.2 cents in establish­
m e n t s which had expenditures for these plans.
O n an all-establishment basis,
the m a j o r industry groups with the highest expenditures found w e r e security and
c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services— 14.9 cents, banking—
14.5 cents, and insurance carriers— 14.4 cents; those with the lowest w e r e real
estate— 5. 3 cents and insurance agents, brokers, and service— 6.6 cents.
Establishments with expenditures for contributory plans, on the a v e r ­
age, spent 15.4 cents per hour paid for, and those with noncontributory plans,
16.7 cents.
T h e m a j o r industry groups which w e r e found to have the largest
differences between employer expenditures in those establishments with expend­
itures under contributory and noncontributory plans w e r e security and c o m m o d i t y
brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services (18.6 cents per hour paid for under
contributory plans and 25.7 cents under noncontributory plans) and real estate
(16. 3 and 11.9 cents, respectively).

Severance or Dismissal P a y
Expenditures for severance or dismissal pay, although not as c o m m o n as
the private welfare plans already discussed, w e r e reported in each of the m a j o r
industry groups for which separate data are presented.
In all industry groups
combined, 29 percent of the employees w e r e in establishments with severance pay
expenditures. T h e highest proportion— 45 percent— w a s in insurance carriers; the
lowest ones— 16 percent and 18 percent— w e r e in the insurance agents, brokers,
and service and real estate groups, respectively.
Exp r e s s e d as a percent of the gross payroll of all establishments, expend­
itures for severance or dismissal pay w e r e only 0. 1 percent, and in two m a j o r
industry groups studied, banking and security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers,
exchanges, and services, the payments w e r e less than 0.05 percent. In none of
the other m a j o r industry groups w e r e expenditures greater than 0. 1 percent. In
establishments with expenditures, the all-industry outlay w a s equal to 0.3 percent
of gross payroll, and payments by m a j o r group studied ranged f r o m 0. 4 percent
in credit agencies other than banks; in insurance agents, brokers, and service;
and in real estate to 0.1 percent in banking.




43

Severance pay expenditures w e r e 0.2 cent per hour paid for by all e s ­
tablishments and 0.7 cent for only those having such expenditures.
T h e highest
all-establishment average found for any m a j o r industry group w a s 0. 3 cent; on
an establishment-with-expenditures basis, figures ranged f r o m 1.6 cents in in­
surance agents, brokers, and service to 0. 4 cent in banking.

Savings and Thrift Plans
Savings and thrift plans are arrangements under which w o r k e r savings
are supplemented by c o m p a n y contributions.
Considerable variation m a y exist
a m o n g companies as to plan provisions, particularly in reference to vesting and
disposition of employer contributions.
Savings and thrift plans w e r e not c o m m o n in the finance, insurance, and
real estate industries. Only 3 percent of the work e r s in these industries w e r e
in establishments which had expenditures for such plans. T h e highest proportions
w e r e in banking and credit agencies other than banks (both 5 percent); the lowest
w e r e in insurance agents, brokers, and service (1 percent) and insurance c a r ­
riers (2 percent).
E m p l o y e r contributions for savings and thrift plans w e r e equal to 0.2 p e r ­
cent of the gross payroll of all establishments studied. T h e only m a j o r industry
group studied separately which had higher expenditures w a s banking, in which an
a m ount equal to 0.4 percent of the all-establishment gross payroll w a s spent for
these plans.
In cents per hour paid for in all establishments, the all-industry
average w a s 0. 4 cent, with the highest m a j o r industry group average found in
banking (1.0 cent) and the lowest in insurance carriers (less than 0.05 cent).
Figures for only those establishments which had expenditures do not m e e t p u b ­
lication criteria.

Stock Purchase Plans
Expenditures for stock purchase plans w e r e found in establishments
employing only 2 percent of the workers in the finance, insurance, and real
estate industries.
In the sample selected, no firms in the insurance agents,
brokers, and service group had expenditures for a stock purchase plan.
Th e
highest m a j o r industry group proportion found w a s the 9 percent in credit a g e n ­
cies other than banks.
In all studied industries combined, expenditures for stock purchase plans
equaled 0.1 percent of the all-establishment gross payroll and a m o u n t e d to 0.1 cent
per hour paid for. Data for establishments with expenditures do not m e e t p u b ­
lication criteria.

Chapter VII. Composition of Payroll Hours

Chapter II of this bulletin analyzes paid leave in ter m s of the relation
between leave expenditures and payroll or man-hours.
This chapter considers
paid leave f r o m a different point of view; it c o m p a r e s paid leave hours (and plant
hours) 8 and total hours paid for. In 1961, paid leave hours constituted 8.0 p e r ­
cent of the total hours for which employees in the finance, insurance, and real
estate industries received pay.
In these industries, paid leave hours accounted
for a slightly larger percent of total hours paid for in the case of supervisors
than in the case of nonsupervisors— 8. 2 percent c o m p a r e d to 7. 9 percent.
Of the
various m a jor industry groups studied individually, insurance carriers and banking
had the highest ratios of paid leave hours to total hours paid for— 9. 1 percent
and 8. 9 percent, respectively, and real estate the lowest— 5. 6 percent. (See
chart 6 and table 31.)
Paid leave hours as a percent of total hours paid for ranged f r o m under
1 percent in s o m e establishments to 16 percent and over in others.
Al m o s t threefifths of the workers w e r e in establishments in which paid leave hours constituted
between 6 and 10 percent of total hours paid for. Clusterings of workers at various
ranges of paid leave hours as a percent of total hours paid for w e r e found in the
individual m aj or industry groups.
Those ranges, and the percent of employees
in establishments with paid leave hours falling within the ranges were: Banking—
6 to 12 percent, 90 percent of the employees; credit agencies other than banks—
5 to 9 percent, 76 percent; security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges,
and services— 4 to 10 percent, 81 percent; insurance carriers— 7 to 11 percent,
6 9
percent; insurance agents, brokers, and service— 6 to 10 percent, 62 percent;
and real estate— 5 to 8 percent, 44 percent. (See table 32. )
F o r the finance, insurance, and real estate industries as a whole, the
paid leave hours w e r e distributed a m o n g the several items of leave as follows:
Vacations, 3.7 percent of total hours paid for; holidays, 2.9 percent; sick leave,
1.2 percent; and other leave, 0.2 percent.
Thus, vacations and holidays w e r e
the principal types of leave paid for, accounting for nearly half and over o n e third, respectively, of the total.
In each of the m a jor industry groups studied, vacations w e r e of p r i m a r y
importance. A s a proportion of total hours paid for, paid vacation hours ranged
f r o m 4.0 percentin banking and insurance carriers to 2.9 percent in real estate.
In each of the industry groups, vacation hours as a percent of total hours paid
for w e r e higher for supervisory than for nonsupervisory e mployees.9

8 The term "plant hours, " as used in this survey, covers all paid-for hours spent at the place of work, and in­
cludes such nonwork time as paid rest periods and paid lunch periods.
Plant hours were derived by deducting the
leave hours paid for from the total hours paid for. Although the term "plant hours" is used to maintain consistency
in language with previous studies in this series, it should be remembered that an office is the usual workplace in the
industries under study. Paid leave hours are defined as the number of hours for which pay was received rather than
the time actually spent away from the "plant. " If a worker did not receive full pay for an absence, leave hours
represented the man-hours equivalent to the pay received.
9 Previous bulletins in this series contained a table showing a distribution of employees by number of weeks of
vacation pay. Many of the establishments in the present survey did not maintain the necessary records to permit co m ­
pilation of this information for the finance, insurance, and real estate industries.

Holidays w e r e less important than vacations as a source of paid leave
in the finance, insurance, and real estate industries.
In 1961, 2.9 percent of
the hours paid for w e r e holiday hours, as c o m p a r e d with 3. 7 percent for v a c a ­
tions.
In the major industry groups examined individually, holiday hours as a
percent of total hours paid for ranged f r o m 3. 2 percent in insurance carriers and
3. 1 percent in banking to 2. 1 percent in real estate.
Reflecting the fact that
companies c o m m o n l y have the s a m e paid holiday schedule for both supervisory
and nonsupervisory employees, in none of the industry groups did the figures for
the two employee categories differ by m o r e than 0. 2 percentage point.

Also of interest is the n u m b e r of holidays paid for in 1961.
Estab­
lishments employing 10 percent of the supervisors reported 5 holidays for these
employees; those employing 20 percent reported 6 days; those with 13 percent,
7 days; and those with 10 percent, 8 days.
M o r e paid holidays for supervisors
w e r e c o m m o n in specific industry groups: 24 percent of these employees in s e ­
curity and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers, exchanges, and services and 17 percent
in insurance carriers w e r e in establishments granting 9 holidays to supervisors;
2 0 percent in banking and 12 percent in security and c o m m o d i t y brokers, dealers,
exchanges, and services w e r e in establishments with 10 holidays; and 11 percent
in banking and 17 percent in insurance agents, brokers, and service, 11 days.

F o r nonsupervisory employees in all industries combined, the principal
proportions w e r e 6 holidays, 21 percent; 7 days, 11 percent; 8 days, 10 percent;
9 days, 10 percent; and 10 days, 11 percent.
However, 15 percent of the n o n ­
supervisory employees in credit agencies other than banks and 10 percent in real
estate w e r e in establishments with 5 holidays. At the other extreme, 11 percent
in banking w e r e employed in establishments with 11 holidays for nonsupervisory
employees.
(See table 35. )10

Sick leave hours w e r e paid for in each of the maj o r industry groups
studied.
O n an overall basis, sick leave hours constituted 1.2 percent of the
total hours paid for; for supervisory and nonsupervisory employees separately,
the figures w e r e 0.9 and 1.3 percent, respectively.
In the individual groups
studied, all-employee proportions ranged f r o m 1.7 percent in insurance carriers
and 1. 5 percent in banking to 0. 5 percent in real estate.

Other paid leave w a s only a slight proportion of total hours paid for—
0. 2 percent.
Figures w e r e m u c h the s a m e for supervisory and nonsupervisory
employees.
T he highest all-employee proportion in any of the industry groups
studied w a s 0. 3 percent— found in banking and insurance carriers.

10
The method of collecting data on number of paid holidays did not permit tabulations on an alhem ployee
basis.
It should be noted that only about 5 percent of the reports obtained in the survey showed different numbers
of paid holidays for supervisory and nonsupervisory employees. Aside from this factor, differences in the distributions
for supervisory and nonsupervisory employees were the result of some establishments having only one employee group
and others having differing proportions of employees in the two categories.

11 T h e data for the 3 -digit group— c o m m e r c i a l and stock savings banks— generally are similar to those for the major industry
group— banking— of which it is a part. Most of banking's e m p l o y m e n t is concentrated in c o m m e r c i a l and stock savings banks.

Since the legally required insurance programs commonly have widespread coverage, the tables show only all-establishment data
for these items.
15 Although tables in this bulletin show expenditures for the various items as percents of gross payroll and straight-time payroll,
as cents per hour paid for, and as cents per plant man-hour, the analysis in the text is solely in terms of percent of gross payroll and
cents per hour paid for. Percents of gross and straight-time payroll clearly are related, as are cents per hour paid for and cents per
plant man-hour.
Because of the widespread coverage of legally required insurance programs, tabulations of prevalence of expenditures are
omitted for these items.

direct payments to employees for vacations and holidays. Funded arrangements for vacations and holidays are not widespread in the
industries studied.

19 The only reported miscellaneous private welfare plan expenditures included in the tabulations were those believed to fall within
the definition of some other item on the questionnaire and improperly reported as miscellaneous private welfare plan expenditures. Such
expenditures were included in the computation of data for total private welfare plans, but are not shown separately. Other reported
expenditures for miscellaneous private welfare plans were not tabulated. The major purpose of requesting expenditure data for miscel­
laneous private welfare plans was to obtain an indication of the importance of private welfare plans other than those being analyzed,
for use in planning future surveys.
