Contract Cleaning Services, July 1974
Nearly two-thirds of the cleaners generally performed
light tasks, such as sweeping floors, dusting furniture, and
emptying waste baskets; the remainder performed heavy
tasks, including operating heavy motor-driven cleaning
equipment, wet-mopping floors, and washing walls and glass
partitions. Seven-eighths of the cleaners worked at night. In a
number of areas, significant proportions worked less than
20 hours per week. There were indications that many of the
employees were supplementing other incomes, though
specific information of this type was outside the scope of
the survey.
Men constituted nearly two-thirds of the 143,500
workers in the survey. Forty-three percent of the men
performed heavy cleaning tasks and 32 percent had light
cleaning duties; most of the remainder were employed as
exterminators, floor waxers, and window washers. In the 24
areas combined, 92 percent of the women performed light
cleaning tasks.

Summary

Straight-time hourly earnings of service workers in
contract cleaning establishments averaged from $2.22 in
Dallas-Fort Worth to $4.23 in San Francisco-Oakland,
among the 24 areas surveyed in July 1974.1 Earnings
differences among areas resulted from a number of factors,
including variations in the extent of unionization and
differences in types of services rendered.
At the time of the survey, average weekly earnings
ranged from $48 in Dallas-Fort Worth to $145.50 in San
Francisco-Oakland. Area pay relationships based on weekly
earnings were somewhat different from those based on
hourly earnings because of variations in weekly hours of
work. Shorter workweeks in the industry, reflecting its
part-time nature, dampened weekly earnings gains between
July 1971, the date of a similar study,2 and July 1974.
Among the occupations studied separately in July 1974,
window washers generally were highest paid, with hourly
averages ranging from $2.72 to $5.64.3 Four-fifths of the
industry’s work force were cleaners.
Paid holidays and paid vacations were provided for a
majority of the workers in about four-fifths of the 24 areas.
At least part of the cost of life, hospitalization, surgical, or
basic medical insurance was provided to half of the workers
or more in 11 areas. Retirement pension plans were
available for three-fifths of the service workers or more in
10 areas, and for about one-third or less in the other 14
areas studied.

E m p lo ym en t trends. The contract cleaning industries have

provided growing job opportunities throughout the past
decade. Nationally, employment more than doubled from
March 1964 to March 1973, rising from 154,878 to
351,520.4 Slightly less than one-half of the employment in
these industries is accounted for in the 24-area survey
summarized in this report. (Firms having fewer than eight
workers were excluded from the survey.)
Largely because of changes in metropolitan area defini­
tions, only nine areas were fully comparable for the 1971
and 1974 surveys. Aggregate employment of service work­
ers for these nine areas increased by about 21 percent from
1971 to 1974 compared with 16 percent between 1968 and
1971 and 41 percent between 1965 and 1968.5 The rate of
employment growth within most of the nine areas exhibi­
ted wide swings between surveys. (See text table 1.)
Among the 24 areas surveyed in July 1974, service
worker employment ranged from about 2,000 in Kansas
City, Memphis, Nassau-Suffolk, New Orleans, and SeattleEverett to 35,400 in New York. After New York, the three
largest contract cleaning centers studied were Los AngelesLong Beach (11,641), Chicago (8,865), and Washington
(8,697). (See appendix table A-l.)

Industry characteristics

Occupational staffing. Cleaners constituted slightly more

than four-fifths of the industry’s work force in July
1974—117,800 out of 143,500 service workers covered by
the study. Floor waxers, window washers, and extermina­
tors each accounted for 5 percent or less of the work force;
other jobs not studied separately made up 8 percent.

percent or more in half the areas. Those chiefly furnishing
window-washing services employed 5 percent or fewer of
the workers in each area. The proportion of workers
employed by contractors primarily providing disinfecting
and exterminating services was one-fifth in Miami, oneseventh in Nassau-Suffolk, one-tenth in Philadelphia, and
less than one-tenth in the other areas. Establishments
engaged primarily in janitorial services generally provided
other specialized work, including window washing and floor
waxing. Disinfecting and exterminating firms and window
cleaning establishments, however, usually were limited to
one type of service.
A number of establishments in the 24 areas provided
secondary services beyond the scope of the wage survey.
These included security service, skilled maintenance of
buildings, food service, trash removal, and grounds-keeping.

T ype o f customer. Private firms or individuals were the
principal source of revenue for cleaning contractors em­
ploying at least seven-eighths of the workers in each area. In
Washington, D.C., government agencies were the main
source of revenue for cleaning contractors employing 7
percent of the workers and a secondary source for those
employing 55 percent. In about half the areas surveyed, a
majority of the workers were employed by cleaning
contractors deriving at least some of their revenue from
government agencies. Only a few cleaning contractors,
however, derived their revenue entirely from government
agencies.

Size o f establishment. Nearly four-fifths of the establish­

ments within the scope of the 1974 study employed fewer
than 50 workers. In some of the areas, however, a few
establishments employed more than 1,000 workers. Those
having at least 100 workers accounted for about 13 percent
of all firms covered by the study, but employed a majority
of the workers in all areas except Denver-Boulder and
Seattle-Everett. (See table 1.)
T yp e o f service. Cleaning contractors may provide a single
service, such as cleaning windows, disinfecting buildings or
exterminating insects, etc., or they may provide total
maintenance of a facility by supplying workers such as
guards, gardeners, parking lot attendants, and refuse collec­
tors, in addition to the cleaning personnel. In recent years,
cleaning contractors, especially the larger firms, have
increasingly been providing total maintenance. In some
cases, these firms have multimillion-dollar operations and
maintain installations in a number of cities.6 However,
most contract cleaning establishments covered by this
survey were local firms employing fewer than 50 workers.
Establishments engaged primarily in providing janitorial
service accounted for at least three-fourths of the service

T ype o f structure serviced. Contractors primarily engaged
in servicing office buildings accounted for three-fourths of
the workers or more in the 21 areas studied. In the other
three areas, the proportion of workers was about two-fifths
in Nassau-Suffolk, half in Philadelphia, and nearly threefifths in Miami.
Those firms primarily servicing industrial plants or
factories employed between 10 and 15 percent of the
workers in Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City, NassauSuffolk, and Philadelphia, and less than 10 percent in the
other areas. Contractors primarily servicing institutions,
such as schools, hospitals, and nursing homes, employed 21
percent of the workers in Philadelphia, 12 percent each in
Baltimore and Cleveland, and 7 percent or less in the
others. Those servicing supermarkets and other stores
accounted for 15 percent of the service workers in
Nassau-Suffolk, 11 percent in Miami, 7 percent in San
Francisco, and 5 percent or less in the other 21 areas.
About two-thirds of the service workers were in estab­
lishments that rendered their services to two types of
structures or more.
Between the 1971 and 1974 surveys, the average
workweek declined in seven areas, and remained the same
in Chicago and New Orleans among the nine comparable
areas. (See text table 2.) Declines typically ranged from 2
to 5 percent.

worked 35 hours or more, usually 40 to 45 hours.
Men worked more hours than women in 20 areas, the
same hours in one area (Kansas City), and fewer hours in
Baltimore, Chicago, and Cleveland. (See tables 7 and 8.) In
each area, a larger proportion of men than women worked
at least 40 hours per week.

A v e ra g e e a rn in g s

In July 1974, straight-time hourly earnings for all service
workers ranged from $2.22 in Dallas and $2.25 in Houston
to $4.23 in San Francisco-Oakland (table 2). Within
regional groupings, the reported spread in area averages was
$2.60 to $4.03 in the Northeast; $2.22 to $2.66 in the
South; $2.54 to $3.46 in the North Central; and $2.65 to
$4.23 in the West.
Hourly earnings levels increased between 16.5 and 24.5
percent among the nine areas permitting comparison
between the 1971 and 1974 surveys. (See text table 2.) In
all areas, weekly earnings levels rose more slowly than
hourly earnings because of widespread declines in hours
worked. For example, hourly earnings in Miami rose 22
percent between 1971 and 1974, while weekly earnings
increased 14.7 percent, and average weekly hours fell by
5.1 percent (text table 2).
Because of variations in weekly hours of work, area pay
relationships based on weekly earnings were somewhat
different from those based on hourly earnings. For exam­
ple, workers in Los Angeles-Long Beach averaged 15
percent an hour less than those in Seattle-Everett, but
because of their longer workweek (32 hours compared with
23), they averaged 17 percent more per week. Also, average
hourly earnings were nearly the same in Newark ($2.94)
and Kansas City ($2.98), but weekly earnings averaged $86
and $68, respectively. (See table 2.)
Average weekly earnings ranged from $48 in Dallas-Ft.
Worth to $145.50 in San Francisco-Oakland. Largely
reflecting the part-time nature of jobs in the industry,
weekly earnings averaged $75 or less in 14 of the 24 areas
studied; they exceeded $125 in New York and San
Francisco-Oakland, where the longest average workweeks
and highest average hourly earnings were recorded.
Typically, hourly earnings were concentrated in a
narrow range within areas, largely reflecting the numerical
importance of cleaners and the pay they commonly
received (table 3). For example, approximately three-fifths
of the workers in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Houston and
seven-tenths in Memphis earned $2 but less than $2.10—$2
was the Federal minimum at that time; nearly one-third in
Cleveland earned between $3 and $3.10; and one-third in
New York and two-fifths in Seattle-Everett earned $3.80 to
$4. In each instance, cleaners accounted for at least
nine-tenths of the workers paid these amounts.
Men, as a group, typically averaged from 10 percent to
20 percent more per hour than women. The earnings
advantage for men ranged from 6 percent in Baltimore and

Unionization. Establishments operating under labormanagement agreements employed three-fifths of the ser­
vice workers in the survey. The proportion of workers in
shops with such coverage ranged from less than one-tenth in
Atlanta and Houston to nine-tenths or more in New York,
San Francisco-Oakland, and Seattle-Everett. (See table 1.)
In half the southern areas studied, none of the plants visited
had collective bargaining agreements covering a majority of
their regular service employees. Nearly all agreements in the
industry were executed with the Service Employees’ Inter­
national Union (AFL-CIO).
M ethod o f wage paym ent. At least nine-tenths of the

workers in each area (except Miami) were paid on a
time-rate basis (table 37). Time workers usually were paid
under formal plans setting single rates for specific occupa­
tions in nearly two-thirds of the areas. Rates determined by
the individual’s qualifications applied to a majority of the
workers in one-third of the areas, typically in the South.
Incentive wage payment plans applied to slightly more than
one-fifth of the workers in Miami.
Weekly hours o f work. Service employees in contract
cleaning establishments frequently worked less than 15
hours per week in July 1974 (table 6). On the average,
however, they worked 21.5 hours in Dallas, from 22 to
nearly 30 hours in three-fourths of the areas, from 30 to 33
hours in one-sixth of the areas, and 34.5 hours in San
Francisco-Oakland. In two-thirds of the areas, a majority of
the service employees worked fewer than 30 hours a week;
in half of the 24 areas, including 6 of the 8 southern areas,
a majority worked under 25 hours weekly. In only four
areas—Chicago, Los Angeles-Long Beach, New York, and
San Francisco-Oakland—a majority of the employees

these occupations accounted for virtually all service work­
ers studied.
Among the occupational classifications surveyed in
contract cleaning establishments, window washers generally
were highest paid (text table 3). They had hourly averages
ranging from $2.72 in Dallas-Fort Worth to $5.64 in San
Francisco-Oakland. Window washers averaged more than $5
an hour in 8 of the 18 areas for which their earnings were
published. In a number of areas, extra pay was provided for
hazardous work, such as using scaffolds, high ladders, and
bosun chairs. Such payments were included in window
washers’ earnings for purposes of the survey.
Floor waxers (men) typically averaged between $2.50
and $3.50 an hour, ranging from $2.17 in Atlanta and
$2.18 in New Orleans to $4.38 in San Francisco-Oakland.
Among the 11 areas where averages for exterminators
(men) could be shown, averages were between $3.40 and
$3.65 in six areas, and between $3.86 and $4.86 in the
others.
Average hourly earnings for women performing light
cleaning tasks, numerically the most important job studied
separately, ranged from $2.07 in New Orleans to $3.82 in
San Francisco-Oakland. Women light cleaners averaged
$2.20 an hour or less in one-third of the areas (primarily in

Dallas to slightly more than 30 percent in Pittsburgh.
Differences in average pay levels for men and women may
be the result of several factors, including variation in the
distribution of the sexes among establishments and among
jobs with disparate pay levels. For example, window
washers, usually the highest paid occupation, were virtually
all men, as were nine-tenths of the heavy cleaners; women,
however, made up three-fifths of the light cleaners, one of
the lowest paid occupations studied. Also, differences
reported for men and women in the same job and area may
reflect minor differences in duties. Job descriptions used to
classify workers in wage surveys are more generalized than
those used in individual establishments to allow for possible
minor differences among establishments in specific duties
performed.

Tables 10 through 33 present earnings data for cleaners,
exterminators, floor waxers, and window washers. These
occupations together accounted for at least four-fifths of
the regularly employed service workers in each area studied.

the South. They averaged over $3 in Chicago, New York,
and San Francisco. Among the 22 areas where separate data
for men and women light cleaners were shown, women
averaged more than men in 5 areas, less than men in 7, and
within 1 percent of men in 10. The typical earnings
advantage for women was small—2 or 3 percent—but ranged
to 13 or 14 percent in Baltimore and New York. In areas
where men light cleaners enjoyed an earnings advantage, the
spread was also relatively small—commonly 4 to 5 per­
cent-widening to 9 or 10 percent in Miami and Washing­
ton.
Slightly more than nine-tenths of the workers perform­
ing heavy cleaning tasks were men. Average earnings for
these men ranged from $2.19 in Houston to $4.02 in New
York and San Francisco-0akland. Women employed as
heavy cleaners averaged from $2.24 an hour in Dallas-Fort
Worth to $4.02 in San Francisco-0akland. As was the case
with light cleaners, men and women each enjoyed the
earnings advantage in about half the areas in which averages
for both groups shown were different. They averaged the
same in 2 areas. But, where average earnings varied by sex
for heavy cleaners, the spread was commonly wider than
for light cleaners—4 to 16 percent in most cases shown.
Average earnings of men cleaners in contract cleaning
service establishments were compared with janitors (men)
in the Bureau’s area wage surveys.7 Text table 4 presents
hourly average pay relatives for cleaners using the more
broadly based area wage survey average for janitors in each
area as 100. It shows that cleaners typically averaged
between about 10 and 20 percent an hour less than janitors
in all industries covered by the area wage studies. When
comparisons were limited to nonmanufacturing industries,
however, cleaners typically averaged between 6 and 10
percent less than janitors; and in Houston and Memphis,
they averaged, respectively, 2 percent and 15 percent more.
Earnings of individual workers varied within the same
job and area (tables 10-33). The extent of the dispersion,
however, differed among the areas and for different jobs
within the same area. For example, earnings of the highest
paid men heavy cleaners in New York exceeded those of
the lowest paid by about $3 an hour; while in Dallas-Ft.
Worth, all such workers earned between $2 and $2.80. (See
tables 27 and 15.) In contrast to the broad range for heavy
cleaners, about seven-eighths of the window washers (men)
in New York had average hourly earnings between $5 and

Data also were obtained on late-shift differentials and
selected supplementary wage benefits, such as paid holidays
and vacations and various health, insurance, and retirement
plans. Information on wage practices and benefits applies to
a majority of regularly employed service workers in each
establishment, whether full time or part time. All plans,
except those legally required, were included when at least
part of the cost was paid by the employer. No attempt was
made, however, to evaluate the cost of benefits provided by
any plan.

Late-shift work. Although a majority of the cleaners in each

area studied worked at night, only in two areas—SeattleEverett and Los Angeles-Long Beach—did formal provisions
for shift premium pay usually apply to regular service
workers. Contractors in Los Angeles reporting shift differ­
entials paid 15 cents an hour above day-shift rates for
employees working more than half of their hours after
midnight. Contractors in Seattle who reported shift differ­
entials paid 15 cents an hour above day-shift rates for all
hours between midnight and 8 a.m. Among the other areas
studied, shift differentials were rarely found in the indus­
try.

7The Bureau’s area wage survey program covers establishments
in the following broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor­
tation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade;
retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and selected services.
Area wage surveys were conducted throughout the country in 1974.
Data from these surveys were adjusted to reflect the July 1974
payroll reference period used in the contract cleaning survey. To the
extent that contract cleaning firms are also covered by the area wage
survey data, these lower paying firms reduce the men janitors’
average and contribute to a smaller cleaner-to-janitor wage differen­
tial than would be reported if their data could be excluded from the
cross-industry survey.

Paid holidays. Paid holidays, usually 6 to 8 per year, were
provided to three-fifths of the service workers or more in all
areas except Atlanta, Memphis, and Minneapolis-St. Paul
(table 38). In San Francisco-0akland, three fourths of the
workers received 9 days annually; and in Nassau-Suffolk
and New York, about three-fifths of the workers were in
establishments providing at least 10 days.

financed solely by the employer, accounted for a majority
of service workers in 13 of the 24 areas studied. (See table
40.) Benefits most frequently available were life, hospitali­
zation, surgical, and basic medical insurance, but the
proportions of workers covered by these and other plans
varied somewhat by location.
Sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, or
both, also applied to a majority of the workers in 10 areas.
Major medical insurance was available for at least two-thirds
of the service workers in six areas, but was available to
one-fifth or less in the other areas.
Retirement pension plans, other than social security,
were available to at least three-fifths of the workers in 10
areas, and nearly always were financed entirely by the
employers; one-third or less were covered by such plans in
the other 14 areas. Retirement severance pay plans were
rare in the industry.

Paid vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of
service, were provided by cleaning contractors employing a
majority of service workers in all areas except Atlanta,
Dallas-Ft. Worth, Memphis, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and New
Orleans (table 39). In the 19 areas where a majority of
workers were under paid vacation plans, typical provisions
were for 1 week’s pay after 1 year of service (2 weeks’ pay
in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle areas), and 2
weeks’ pay after 2 or 3 years. In five areas, a majority of
the workers were in establishments having provisions for 3
weeks of vacation pay after 5 years of service; in six other
areas, similar provisions usually applied after 10 years of
service (4 weeks was typical in Nassau-Suffolk). Provisions
for 4 weeks after 15 years’ service covered at least
three-fifths of the workers in four other areas and after 20
years in Philadelphia.

Other selected benefits. Pay for leave to attend funerals of
certain family members was available to about two-thirds of
the workers or more in seven areas, to approximately
one-half in four areas, and to about one-third or less in the
other areas. (See table 41.)
Jury-duty pay was provided to a majority of the workers
in only five areas—Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San
Francisco-0akland, and Seattle-Everett. It was provided to
slightly over two-fifths in Nassau-Suffolk and Newark, and
to about one-third or less in the other areas.

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Establishments
providing various health and insurance benefits, typically

ington, and Westmoreland Counties.
2 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends and holidays, but includes
premium pay for late shift work and hazardous pay, if any. Average hourly earnings were obtained
by dividing aggregate weekly earnings by aggregate weekly hours. Workers, however, were distributed
among the specified earnings classes according to their individual hourly rates. These surveys,
based on a representative sample of establishments, are designed to measure the level of occupa­
tional earnings at a particular time. Thus, comparisons made with previous studies may not reflect

wage movements because of changes in the universe over time and associated necessary change in

creased wages between the periods being compared.

Regularly employed full-time and part-time nonsupervisory workers engaged in performing
nonoffice functions. Casual workers, those hired on a job basis, are excluded.

Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of survey

Service workers

The survey included establishments engaged primarily in
cleaning windows in business houses and dwellings (SIC
7341) ; establishments engaged primarily in disinfecting
buildings and in exterminating insects, rodents, etc. (SIC
7342) , and establishments engaged primarily in furnishing
to dwellings and other buildings specialized services, such as
janitorial service, floor waxing, and office cleaning (SIC
7349). These three industries represent the entire Industry
Group No. 734, as defined in the 1967 edition of the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the
U.S. Office o f Management and Budget.
Establishments studied were selected from those em­
ploying eight workers or more at the time of reference of
the data used in compiling the universe lists. Table A-l
shows the number of establishments and workers estimated
to be within the scope of the survey, as well as the number
actually studied by the Bureau.

The term “service worker,” as used in this report,
includes working supervisors and all regularly employed
full- and part-time nonsupervisory workers engaged in
performing nonoffice activities. Administrative, executive,
professional, and technical personnel, and force-account
construction employees, who are used as a separate work
force on the firm’s own properties, are excluded. Casual
workers, those hired on a job basis, also were excluded.

Method of study
Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff to a representative sample of establishments
within the scope of the survey. To obtain appropriate
accuracy at a minimum cost, a greater proportion of large
than of small establishments was studied. In combining the
data, however, all establishments were given an appropriate
weight. All estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to
all establishments in the industry, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time of reference of the
universe data.

Occupational classification was based on a uniform set
of job descriptions designed to take account of interestab­
lishment and interarea variations in duties within the same
job. (See appendix B for these descriptions.) The criteria
for selection of the occupations were: The number of
workers in the occupation; the usefulness of the data in
collective bargaining; and appropriate representation of the
entire job scale in the industry. The selected occupations
included full- and part-time workers (i.e., those scheduled
to work regularly in the establishment); casual workers,
working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners,
trainees, and handicapped, temporary, and probationary
workers were not reported in the data for selected
occupations but, except for casual workers, were included
in the data for all service workers.

Wage data
Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly
earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work
on weekends and holidays. Premium pay for late-shift work
and for hazardous work was included in straight-time
earnings for workers receiving such payments. This proce­
dure was followed to achieve comparable data between
establishments which have separate formal provisions for
late-shift work and-or formal provisions for hazardous work
and those which have built the differentials into the rate.
Incentive payments, such as those resulting from piecework
or production bonus systems, and cost-of-living bonuses
were included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Nonpro­
duction bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend
bonuses, were excluded.
Group average hourly earnings were obtained by dividing

Establishment definition
For this study, an establishment is defined as a single
physical location which provides services to dwellings and
other buildings on a fee or contract basis. An establishment
is not necessarily identical with a business concern or
company, which may consist of one establishment or more.
Employment
Estimates of the number of workers within the scope of
the study are intended as a general guide to the size and
composition of the industry’s labor force, rather than as
precise measures of employment.

structure is one in which the same rate is paid to all
experienced workers in the same job classification.
(Learners, apprentices, or probationary workers may be
paid according to rate schedules which start below the
single rate and permit the workers to achieve the full job
rate over a period of time.) An experienced worker
occasionally may be paid above or below the single rate for

aggregate weekly earnings by aggregate weekly hours.1
Average weekly earnings were obtained by dividing the sum
of the aggregate weekly earnings by the total number of
workers. For salaried workers, “normal” hours were used
rather than actual hours. Weekly earnings were rounded to
the nearest half dollar.
Method of wage payment

This method o f computing average hourly earnings differs from
the usual practice in which average hourly earnings were calculated
by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number
of individuals. This change in procedure was made because o f the
wide variations in individual weekly hours worked in the contract
cleaning services industry; such variations often are related to wide
differences in hourly earnings. In the earnings distribution tables,
however, workers were distributed among specified earnings classes
according to their individual hourly rates.

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number of workers paid under the various time and
incentive wage systems. Formal rate structures for time­
rated workers provide single rates or a range of rates for
individual job categories. In the absence of a formal rate
structure, pay rates are determined primarily by the
qualifications of the individual worker. A single rate

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 of 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 pre­
sented for all such plans to which the employer contributes
at least a part of the cost. However, 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 of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal
plans which provide full pay or a proportion of the
worker’s pay during absence from work because of illness;
informal arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabula­
tions are provided for (1) plans which provide full pay and
no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay
or a waiting period.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete
or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans may be
underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be a form of self-insur­
ance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
extended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes plans
designed to cover employees for sickness or injury involving
an expense which exceeds the normal coverage of hospitali­
zation, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans
which provide regular payments for the remainder of the
retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for retirement
severance pay (one payment or several over a specified
period of time) made to employees on retirement. Estab­
lishments providing both retirement severance payments
and retirement pensions to employees were considered as
having both retirement pensions and retirement severance
plans; however, establishments having optional plans pro­
viding employees a choice of either retirement severance
payments or pensions were considered as having only
retirement pension benefits.

special reasons, but such payments are exceptions. Rangeof-rate plans are those in which the minimum, maximum,
or both of these rates paid experienced workers for the
same job are specified. Specific rates of individual workers
within the range may be determined by merit, length of
service, or combination of these. Incentive workers are
classified under piecework or bonus plans. Piecework is
work for which a predetermined rate is paid for each unit
of output. Production bonuses are for production in excess
of a quota or for completion of a task in less than standard
time.
Weekly hours of work
Data relate to the weekly hours actually worked by each
worker during the payroll period studied. Average weekly
hours worked were rounded to the nearest half-hour.
Supplementary benefits
Supplementary benefits in an establishment were consid­
ered applicable to all full- and part-time service workers if
they applied to half of such workers or more in the
establishment. Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers
were covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the
establishment. Because of length-of-service and other eligi­
bility requirements, the proportion of workers receiving the
benefits may be smaller than estimated.
Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day and

half-day holidays provided annually.
Paid vacations. The summaries of vacation plans are limited

to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans where­
by time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the
employer or supervisor. Payments not on a time basis were
converted; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual
earnings was considered the equivalent of 1 week’s pay. The
periods of service for which data are presented represent
the most common practices, but they do not necessarily
reflect individual establishment provisions for progression.
For example, changes in proportions indicated at 10 years
of service may include changes which occurred between 5
and 10 years.

Paid funeral and ju ry-d u ty leave. Data for paid funeral and
jury-duty leave relate to formal plans which provide at least
partial payment for time lost as a result of attending
funerals of specified family members or serving as a juror.

Health, insurance , and retirem ent plans. Data are presented

for health, insurance, pension, and retirement severance
plans for which the employer pays all or a part of the cost,
excluding programs required by law such as worker’s
compensation and social security. Among plans included
are those underwritten by a commercial insurance company

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

Appendix B.

Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job 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 of
payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to
area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content,
the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or
those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field staff are
instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners; trainees, and handicapped,
temporary, and probationary workers. Regularly employed part-time workers were included in the
selected occupations.
