This bulletin summarizes the results of an August 1969 survey o f wages and related
benefits in auto dealer repair shops, conducted by the Bureau o f Labor Statistics, in 35
metropolitan areas.
Separate releases, providing information on occupational earnings, were issued
earlier for each area. Copies o f these may be obtained from the Bureau o f Labor
Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or from any o f its regional offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office o f Wages and Industrial Relations.
The analysis was prepared by Michael J. Tighe in the Division o f Occupational Wage
Structures. Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Directors for
Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program o f industry wage studies, as well
as the addresses o f the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end o f this bulletin.

E sta b lish m en t d e fin itio n

A n establishm ent, for this study, is defin ed as all outlets o f a com pa n y in an area.
E m p lo y m e n t

Estimates o f the num ber o f w orkers w ithin the scope o f the study are intended as a general guide to the size and
com p osition o f the labor force included in the survey. The advance planning necessary to make a wage survey requires
the use o f lists o f establishm ents assembled considerably in advance o f the payroll period studied.

P r o d u c tio n w o rk e rs

“ P rod u ction w orkers,” as used in this bu lletin , includes w orkin g forem en and nonsupervisory w orkers in all de­
partments ex ce p t the o ffic e and auto sales. Included are w orkers in departm ents such as repair, service, and parts.
O c c u p a tio n s s e le cte d f o r stu dy

O ccupational classification was based on a u niform set o f jo b descriptions designed to take accou n t o f inter­
establishm ent and interarea variations in duties w ithin the same jo b . (See appendix B fo r these descriptions.) The
occu p ation s were chosen for their num erical im portan ce, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representa­
tiveness o f the entire jo b scale in the industry. W orking supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and
h andicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probation ary w orkers were n ot reported in the data for the selected occu p a ­
tions.
W age data

Wage in form ation relates to straight-time h ourly earnings, exclu din g prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on
w eekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive paym ents—such as those b a s e d

on

flat-rate h ours, flat-rate per­

cents, and cost-of-living bonuses—were included in the w orkers’ pay; bu t n on p rod u ction bon u s paym ents, fo r exam ple
Christmas or yearend bonuses, were ex clu ded. H ourly earnings o f salaried w orkers were obtained b y dividing straighttime salary b y norm al rather than actual hours.^
S c h e d u le d w e e k ly h ours

Data on w eekly hours refer to the predom inant w ork schedule for full-time p rod u ction w orkers em p loy ed on
the day shift.
O v e rtim e p rem iu m pay

Provisions fo r overtim e prem ium p a y , presented separately for time-rated and flat-rate p rod u ction w orkers, were
applied to all such workers in an establishm ent—i f h a lf o f these workers or m ore were covered , and nonexistent in an
establishm ent—i f few er than h alf were covered.

Daily overtime

refers to w ork over a specified num ber o f hours a day,

regardless o f the num ber o f hours w orked on previous days o f the pay period.

Weekly overtime

refers to w ork in a

specified num ber o f hours per w eek, regardless o f the day on w hich it is perform ed, the num ber o f hours per day, or
num ber o f days w orked.

Supplementary wage provisions

Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on the basis that if formal provisions were applicable to half
or more o f the production workers in an establishment, the benefits were considered applicable to all such workers.
Similarly, if fewer than half o f the workers were covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment.
Because o f length-of-service and other eligiblity requirements, the proportion o f workers receiving the benefits may
be smaller than estimated. Because o f rounding, sums o f individual items may not equal totals.
Paid holidays. Data are presented separately for time-rated and flat-rate workers and relate to full-day and
half-day holidays provided annually.
Paid vacations. The summary o f vacation plans, which provides separate data for time-rated and flat-rated
workers, is limited to formal arrangements, excluding informal plans whereby time o ff with pay is granted at the
discretion o f the employer or the supervisor. Payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a payment of
2 percent o f annual earnings was considered the equivalent o f 1 week’s pay. The periods o f service for which data are
presented were selected as representative o f the most common practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual
establishment provisions for progression. For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 years o f service may
include changes which occurred between 5 and 10 years.
H ealth, insurance, and retirem en t plans. Data are presented for health, insurance, and pension plans for which
all or a part o f the cost is borne by the employer, excluding programs required by law, such as workmen’s compensa­
tion and social security. Among the plans included are those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and
those paid directly by the employer from his current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose.

Death benefits are included as a form o f life insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type
of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly
basis during illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes
at least part o f the cost. However, for areas in New York and New Jersey, where temporary disability insurance laws
require employer contributions,2 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more than is legally required,
or (2) provides the employees with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law.
Tabulations o f paid sick leave plans are limited to formal plans which provide full pay or a proportion o f the
worker’s pay during absence from work because o f illness; informal arrangements have been omitted. Plans which
provide full pay and no waiting period, and plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period are listed separately.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment o f doctors’ fees. Such plans may be
underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form o f self-insurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as catastrophe or extended medical insurance, includes plans
designed to cover employees for sickness or injury involving an expense which goes beyond the normal coverage of
hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations o f retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide regular payment for the remainder of
the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for retirement severance pay (one payment or several over a specified
period o f time) made to employees on retirement. Establishments providing both severance payments and pensions to
employees on retirement were considered as having both retirement pension and retirement severance pay. Establish­
ments having optional plans providing employees a choice o f either retirement severance payments or pensions were
considered as having only retirement pension benefits.
Separation pay. Separation pay data relate to formal provisions for lump-sum payments made to production
workers permanently separated for reasons other than retirement or for cause.

^The temporary disability insurance laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

O ccup atio nal D escriptio ns

The primary purpose of preparing jo b descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying
into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety 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 com­
parable jo b content. Because o f this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability o f occupational content, the
Bureau’s jo b descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other pur­
poses. In applying these jo b descriptions, the Bureau’s field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, tem porary, and probationary workers.
