Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on certain establishment practices, including
women1s minimum entrance salaries paid to inexperienced typists and other
clerical employees, work schedules, overtime premium pay, and selected sup­
plementary wage benefits such as paid holidays; paid vacations; selected health,
insurance, and pension plans; and nonproduction bonuses.
Minimum Entrance Salaries for Women Office Em ployees. A large m a ­
jority of the banks surveyed in each of the 27 areas hired inexperienced clerical
employees (except typists) under form ally established policies governing minimum
salaries (table 8). These entrance salaries were usually between $50 and $55 a
week in 22 of the areas.
The salaries of new clerical workers were usually
higher in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles—
Long Beach, and San
Francisco—
Oakland than in other areas where comparisons were possible. Form al
minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced typists were not as prevalent. Such
provisions were reported for a minority of the banks in seven areas, exactly half
in three areas, and a majority in the remaining areas. The entrance salary at
a majority of the banks that had formal policies was between $50 and $5 5 .
Scheduled Weekly Hours.
In 19 of the 27 areas, banks employed a m a­
jority of their nonsupervisory office workers on weekly work schedules of not
more than 40 hours (table 9). In 13 of the 19 areas, over nine-tenths had 4 0 -hour
workweeks. Shorter workweeks were generally in effect in Boston, Newark and
Jersey City, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Louisville, Cincinnati, and St.
Louis.
Approximately half of the employees in New York, for example, were
scheduled to work 35 hours a week.

Overtime Premium Pay.
The prevailing overtime pay practice was time
and one-half pay after 40 hours a week in all except two areas (including estab­
lishments with regular work schedules of less than 40 hours) (table 10).
In
Memphis and New Orleans, weekly overtime pay for over nine-tenths of the
workers was based on the ’’fluctuating w orkw eek";2 this principle also applied to
between one-fifth and two-fifths of the workers in Dallas, Houston, Kansas City,
Louisville, and Washington; and to smaller proportions in seven other areas.
2

See footnote 2, table 10, for explanation of the "fluctuating workweek" principle.




5

A majority of the office workers in New York, Los Angeles—
Long Beach,
Portland, and San Francisco—
Oakland were eligible for daily overtime— usually
time and one-half after 8 hours (table 11).
In 10 areas, a minority received
daily overtime.

Paid Holidays.
Paid holidays were provided by virtually all of the banks
in each area. Prevailing practices ranged from 5 days annually in Atlanta and
Memphis to 12 days in Newark and Jersey City and Philadelphia (table 12). A ll
of the employees in New York and more than half of those in Boston and Chicago
received 11 paid holidays a year.

Paid Vacations.
Provisions for paid vacations after qualifying periods
of service were universal in virtually all areas (table 13).
The large majority
of the workers in all areas were in banks providing 2 weeks of vacation pay
after 1 year of service.
Three-week paid vacations were commonly provided to
employees with 10 years of service in about half of the areas, and to those with
15 years of service in 22 areas. A majority of the employees in 11 areas were
in banks providing 4 weeks or more of vacation pay after 25 years of service;
in four additional areas between 40 and 50 percent were in establishments that had
these provisions.

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans.
Life insurance benefits, financed
at least in part by the employer, were available to nine-tenths or more of the
employees in all areas (table 14). Hospitalization, surgical, medical, and catas­
trophe (extended medical) insurance benefits were also available to the large
majority of the workers in most areas.
The proportion of employees in banks
providing paid sick leave ranged from less than a tenth in Atlanta, Memphis,
and New Orleans to more than half in nine areas.
In nearly all instances, these
plans provided full pay (for a specified period of time) with no waiting period.

Retirement pension benefits (other than those available under Federal
social security) were provided by banks with more than four-fifths of the em ­
ployees in 21 areas.
The proportions ranged from nearly three-fifths to threefourths in Chicago, Houston, Kansas City, Miami, New Orleans, and St. Louis.
Nonproduction Bonuses.
Nonproduction bonuses, usually paid at C hrist­
mas or yearend, were provided by banks accounting for two-thirds or more of
the employees in 21 areas, about half in Atlanta, Dallas, and San Francis c o Oakland, two-fifths in Boston, and approximately an eighth in Portland (table 15).
None of the banks visited in Memphis provided nonproduction bonuses.
