Preface

This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor
Statistics survey of wages and related benefits of hotel and
motel employees in June-July 1988. A similar study was con­
ducted in July-September 1983.
Separate reports for each of the 18 metropolitan areas
studied were issued earlier. Copies of these releases are avail­
able from die Bureau of Labor Statistics or any of its regional
offices. (See table A-l for a list of the areas surveyed.)
The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Com­
pensation and Working Conditions. Norma W. Carlson in

Levels reviewed and analyzed the survey data and prepared
this bulletin. The Bureau’s field representatives obtained the
data through personal visits to a probability-based sample
of establishments within the scope of the survey. Fieldwork
for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s Assistant
Regional Commissioners for Operations.
Other industry wage survey studies are listed at the end
of this bulletin along with information on how to obtain them.

Hotels and Motels,
June-July 1988

Earnings and benefits

Employer-paid wages of waiters’ and waitresses’ assistants
averaged between $3.63 and $6.17 an hour. Although these
average wages were higher than those received by waiters
and waitresses, customer tips were lower, accounting for onefourth or less of total hourly earnings in most areas. As a
result, total earnings of waiters and waitresses exceeded those
of their assistants in each of the seven areas for which com­
parisons could be made.
Public bartenders averaged between $3.98 and $11.39 an
hour in employer-paid wages. In the 12 areas where infor­
mation on both wages and tips was available, total earnings
averaged between $6.72 and $15.55 ah hour. Tips usually
accounted for about one-third of these totals.
Customer tips also contributed substantially to the earn­
ings of bellpersons, whose employer-paid wages averaged
from $2.95 to $7.27 an hour. In the seven areas providing
data, tips contributed between one-third and one-half of bell­
persons’ cash earnings.
Nine occupations not customarily tipped also were studied
(text table 1). The highest paid workers were stationary en­
gineers, with area averages ranging from $8.43 to nearly $20
an hour. At the other end of the pay scale in most areas were
lodging quarters cleaners; their averages ranged from $3.94
to $9.91 an hour.
The 13 surveyed occupations, accounting for one-half to
seven-tenths of total nonsupervisory, nonoffice employment
in each area except Atlantic City,4 revealed differences in
occupational pay patterns among the areas studied. Workers
in San Francisco or New York received the highest average
employer-paid wages for each of the occupations, more than
twice the average in the lowest paying area. Although no
single area consistently reported the lowest average wage,
Houston had five jobs with the lowest average; Kansas City,
three jobs; and Miami-Hialeah, three jobs.
Wage spreads for individual jobs also varied among the
areas. In Detroit, for example, employer-paid wages for
short-order cooks ranged from $5 to $6.75 an hour. The
range in San Francisco was considerably wider—from $6 to
$13.50. Similar differences in occupational wage spreads
were found even within the individual areas (tables 2-37).
Among areas and occupations where comparisons could
be made, employer-paid wages generally were higher in
June-July 1988 than in July-September 1983. (The few

Average employer-paid wages of waiters and waitresses
in hotels and motels ranged from $2.46 to $5.86 an hour
among 18 metropolitan areas surveyed in June-July 1988
(table 1).' Wages, however, usually accounted for less than
one-half of the total earnings of these workers. Customer
tips, which also varied widely by area, maHp Up the re­
mainder. Customer tips also contributed significantly to the
earnings of three other occupations in the industry—waiters’
and waitresses’ assistants (busboys and busgirls), bellpersons, and public bartenders.1
2
In each area, waiter or waitress was the most populous
of the tipped occupations. Though employer-paid wages of
waiters and waitresses generally were lower than those paid
the other three tipped occupations, customer tips contributed
more to the total earnings of waiters and waitresses than to
the earnings in the other jobs (see table 38).3
Separate earnings data were developed for waiters and
waitresses by predominant place or type of service: Cock­
tail lounges, full-course restaurants, or other (including coun­
ter, tray, and room service and other than full-course
restaurants). Employer-paid wages typically were highest for
waiters and waitresses classified as “other. ” However, these
servers usually averaged less in tip earnings when compared
with those in cocktail lounges and full-course restaurants.
Among the six areas for which all three classifications could
be compared, total earnings (employer-paid wages plus tips)
were highest for waiters and waitresses in full-course restaur­
ants in Kansas City, Miami-Hialeah, and Philadelphia;
highest for those in cocktail lounges in Dallas and New
Orleans; and highest for “other” servers in Houston.
1 See appendix A for scope and method of survey and for definitions of terms used
in this report. Except where specifically noted, wage data in this bulletin exclude tips
and the value of free meals, rooms, and uniforms, if any were provided, and premium
pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Service charges
added to customers bills and distributed by employers to employees were considered
as wages, rather than tips, and were included.
The term “metropolitan areas,” as used in this bulletin, refers to Metropolitan
Statistical Areas or Primaty Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Office
of Management and Budget through October 1984.
2 b°r purposes of this survey, "tipped employees” include waiters and waitresses
and their assistants, bellpersons, and public bartenders. The Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) defines * tipped employees” as those who customarily and regularly
receive more than $30 a month in tips. Under the provisions of FLSA, an employer
may credit tips actually received by employees up to 40 percent of the applicable mini­
mum wage. Employers may also credit the cost, or fair value, of providing meals
and lodging in meeting minimum wage requirements.
For occupational descriptions, see appendix B.
3 See the section in appendix A,' ‘Customer tips, ” for the method used to estimate
average tips for selected jobs.

4 In Atlantic City, the proportion was about one-third, reflecting the large number
of workers involved in gaming operations not represented by the survey jobs.

declines were concentrated in tipped occupations.) Increases
in average wage levels varied widely by area and occupa­
tion. Within individual occupations, median increases in area
wage levels, however, typically ranged between 12 and 20
percent (text table 2).5 The wage and salary component of
the Bureau’s Employment Cost Index for service workers
rose 21 percent over approximately the same 5-year period.
Paid holidays, commonly 6 to 9 days annually, were
provided to at least nine-tenths of the full-time nonsupervisory, nonoffice workers in all areas except Detroit, where
four-fifths received paid holidays (table 41). Provisions were
somewhat better in New York, where three-fourths of the
workers received 10 or 11 days, and in Washington, where
slightly over one-third received 10 days.6 In Denver and Oak­
land, on the other hand, two-fifths of the workers received
fewer than six full days annually.
Virtually all full-time workers were in hotels and motels
providing paid vacations after qualifying periods of service
(table 42). Typical vacation provisions were 1 week of pay
after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 2 years, and 3 weeks

after 8 or 10 years. A majority of the workers in 12 areas
could receive at least 4 weeks of vacation pay after 20 years
of service.
Workers usually were offered a variety of insurance and
health plans in most areas studied (table 43). The typical
benefits included life insurance; hospitalization, surgical, and
medical insurance; sickness and accident insurance and/or
sick leave; dental insurance; and drug abuse treatment plans.
With a few exceptions—New York, Oakland, and San
Francisco—vision and hearing care plans generally were not
available to a majority of the workers. Long-term disability
insurance, the least common of the benefits studied, applied
to one-fourth or less in all areas.
As part of these benefit offerings, membership in health
maintenance organizations (HMO’s) was available to at least
one-half of the workers in eight areas. In 3 of the 8—Los
Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco—the proportions were
four-fifths or more. Table 44 presents the proportions of work­
ers participating in HMO’s, as well as the other health care
plans.
The extent of employee participation in funding the vari­
ous health plans and life, accidental death and dismember­
ment, and sickness and accident insurance varied by area.
In Atlantic City, New York, Oakland, and San Francisco,
the employer typically paid the full cost of the plans. Jointly
funded plans were more common in the remaining areas. The

survey findings are affected by new definitions of metropolitan areas introduced by
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. In some instances, the changes preclud­
ed comparisons over time (see text table 2, note 2).

covered by formal provisions for jury-duty and funeral-leave
pay (table 46). Severance pay in the event of job loss was
reported in 14 of the 18 areas. In New York, nearly two-fifths
of the employees were covered by severance pay plans; in
Dallas, Houston, and Philadelphia, the proportion slightly ex­
ceeded one-fifth; and it dropped to under one-tenth in most
of the remaining areas that reported severance pay plans.
When employees were required to wear uniforms, employ­
ers most often furnished and cleaned the uniforms (table 46).
In Atlanta and Houston, however, approximately half of the
workers were in establishments that only furnished uniforms.

Industry characteristics
This 18-area study covered hotels, motor hotels, motels,
and tourist courts primarily engaged in providing lodging,
or lodging and meals, to the general public. This survey in­
cluded establishments which were in operation for 9 months
or more a year and employed at least 20 workers. In Atlantic
City, hotel-motel establishments deriving most of their
revenue from gambling operations were also included.
The 2,000 hotels and motels within the scope of the sur­
vey had a total work force of 316,112 workers (table A-l).
Full-time nonsupervisory, nonoffice employees accounted for
seven-tenths of these workers. In June-July 1988, nearly onehalf of the total work force was concentrated in 5 of the 18
areas—Atlantic City, with approximately 48,000 workers,
New York (34,000), Washington (25,000), Chicago (24,000),
and Los Angeles-Long Beach (25,000). Total employment
in the remaining areas ranged from about 19,000 in Atlanta
to 4,000 in Oakland.
Since a similar study in 1983, hotel and motel employ­
ment increased in 12 of the 14 areas for which comparisons
could be made. The largest gains were in Atlantic City and
Boston; in both these areas, total employment in 1988 was
more than 50 percent higher than that reported 5 years earlier.
Small decreases were recorded in Chicago and Houston.
Full- and part-time food service employees (including bar,
kitchen, restaurant, and room service workers) accounted
for one-third of the nonsupervisory, nonoffice work force
in the survey. Other full- and part-time workers accounted
for the remaining two-thirds.
Part-time employees made up 14 percent of all nonsuper­
visory, nonoffice employees. As shown in table 47, the
proportion of part-time workers varied from less than 10 per­
cent in Atlantic City, Dallas, Miami-Hialeah, and San Fran­
cisco to between 25 and 30 percent in Boston, Philadelphia,
Detroit, and Oakland.
Weekly work schedules of 40 hours were in effect for
almost one-half or more of the full-time workers in 14 of
the 18 areas (table 39). In Atlantic City and New York, a
35-hour week prevailed; a 37.5-hour week was the most com­
mon schedule in Oakland and San Francisco. In Los AngelesLong Beach, most of the workers were covered by 37.5-or
40-hour schedules.

1 Among the areas compared, one-halt reported changes in em­
ployer-paid wages at the same or higher than the percent shown and
one-half reported changes at the same orlower than the percent
shown.
2 Changes in employer-paid wages were compared for 14 of the
18 areas. Two areas in the 1983 study (Dallas-Fort Worth and San
Francisco-Oakland) were redefined as four separate areas by the Of­
fice of Management and Budget. Of these, Dallas, Oakland, and San
Francisco were studied in 1988. Also, in 1988, San Diego was
added to the survey areas.

cost of long-term disability insurance, a benefit with a rela­
tively low incidence, often was paid wholly by the employer.
Retirement plans (pensions other than Social Security)
covered at least nine-tenths of the workers in Adantic City,
New York, and San Francisco; between three-fifths and onehalf of those in eight other areas; and one-third to two-fifths
in the remaining seven areas (table 43). Pension plans provid­
ing lifetime annuities were available to a majority of the
workers in nine areas; in two areas, Detroit and Oakland,
all of the plans were paid for entirely by the employers.
Lump-sum retirement plans, reported in 15 areas, covered
two-fifths of the workers in Dallas; about one-fifth in Denver,
Houston, Kansas City, and Philadelphia; and less than onetenth in 8 of the remaining 10 areas. None of these lump­
sum plans required employee contributions.
Information on meal provisions was obtained separately
for seven occupations: Public bartenders, waiters and
waitresses in cocktail lounges and in full-course restaurants,
waiters’ and waitresses’ assistants in full-course restaurants,
kitchen helpers, restaurant cooks, and room clerks. For each
of these jobs, employers generally provided at least one free
meal daily to a majority of the workers (table 45). In San
Francisco, three-fifths or more of the workers in each job
except room clerk received at least two meals a day.
About four-fifths of the full-time workers in the survey were

separately for four occupations: Bellpersons, kitchen helpers,
room cleaners, and waiters and waitresses (table 40). In all
but four areas, the proportion of waiters and waitresses work­
ing fewer than 35 hours a week was greater than that for
each of the other three jobs. In Atlanta, Kansas City, and
San Diego, about one-half of the waiters and waitresses were
scheduled to work less than 35 hours weekly; at the other
extreme—in Atlantic City, Miami-Hialeah, Oakland, and San
Francisco—the proportion dropped to less than one-tenth.
The hotels and motels included in the study varied widely in
size. While the larger establishments (those with at least 500
workers) accounted for 36 percent of total nonsupervisory,
nonoffice employees covered by the survey, they constituted
only 5 percent of the total facilities. Smaller hotels and motels
(those with fewer than 100 workers) accounted for 60 per­
cent of the facilities but only 16 percent of the work force.
In all but one area (Atlanta), nine-tenths or more of the

workers surveyed were in hotels and motels with eating fa­
cilities. These facilities were usually operated by the hotels
and motels, but in each area, a small proportion of the
workers were in establishments that contracted out the
restaurant or other eating facility.
Slighdy fewer than half of all the nonsupervisory, nonoffice
employees were in hotels and motels with collective bargain­
ing agreements covering a majority of such workers (table
47). The proportions varied from at least four-fifths in
Atlantic City and New York to less than one-tenth in Adanta,
Dallas, and Kansas City. No hotel or motel studied in the
Houston area operated under a labor-management agreement.
The Service Employees’ International Union and the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Union, both AFL-CIO affiliates,
were the major unions in all areas except New York, where
the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council (AFL-CIO)
was predominant.

Appendix A. Scope and
Method of Survey

Scope of survey

Tipped employees

The survey included hotels, motels, motor hotels, and
tourist courts engaged in providing lodging, or lodging and
meals, to the general public and which are in operation 9
months or more a year (part of industry 7011, and in Atlantic
City, part of industry 7999, as defined in the 1972 edition
of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual prepared
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget). Seasonal
hotels and motels, and separate auxiliary units, such as central
offices and warehouses, were excluded.
Establishments studied were selected from those employing
20 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.

For the purposes of this survey, certain workers who cus­
tomarily and regularly receive tips were designated as
“tipped employees.” Under the Fair Labor Standards Act
(flsa), “tipped employee” refers to any employee engaged
in an occupation in which he or she customarily and regu­
larly receives more than $30 a month in tips. Tips received
by such an employee may be counted as part of wages in
an amount up to 40 percent ($1.34) of the current $3.35-perhour Federal minimum wage. The employer must inform
tipped employees about this tip credit allowance before using
the credit, and the employee must be allowed to retain all
tips (individually or through a pooling arrangement1). Also,
the employer must be able to show that the employee receives
at least the minimum wage in the combination of both wages
and tips. The cost or fair value of providing meals and lodg­
ing may also be considered in meeting minimum wage
requirements.

Method of study
Occupational claaalflcatlon

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s field
representatives to a probability-based sample of establish­
ments within the scope of the survey. To obtain appropriate
accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than
of small establishments was studied. In combining the data,
each establishment was given an appropriate weight. All
estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to all estab­
lishments 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 interestablish­
ment and interarea variations in duties within the same job.
(See appendix B for these descriptions.) The criteria for selec­
tion of the occupations were the numerical importance of the
occupation and appropriate representation of the entire job
scale in the industry. Working supervisors, apprentices,
learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, temporary,
and probationary workers were not reported in the data for
selected occupations. However, part-time workers employed
on a regular basis were classified if they matched one of the
job descriptions.

Establishment definition
An establishment is defined for this study as a single phys­
ical location where business is transacted. An establishment
is not necessarily identical with a company, which may con­
sist of one establishment or more.

Part-time employees
Regular part-time employees are hired to work fewer
weekly hours than the establishment’s full-time employees
in the same general type of work. The determination was
based on the employer’s distinction between the two groups.

Employment
Estimates of the number of workers within the scope of
the study are intended as a general guide to the size and com­
position of the labor force, rather than as precise measures
of employment.

1 Tip pools arc formal arrangements usually defined by management, where tipped
employees contribute a specified amount of their tips to a fund for distribution among
themselves, to others (noncontributors), or both.

of reference of the universe data.
* Data relate to total employment in establishments actually visited.
5 Includes executive, professional, office, and other workers in ad­
dition to the nonsupervisory, nonoffice category shown separately.

Wage data

paid wages and tip earnings, are presented. Also shown are
the estimated percentages of all cash earnings received as tips.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each occu­
pation were calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earn­
ings) by the number of workers receiving the rate, totaling,
and dividing by the number of individuals. The hourly earn­
ings of salaried workers, if any, were obtained by dividing
straight-time salary by normal (or standard) hours to which
the salary corresponds.
The median designates position; that is, one-half of the em­
ployees surveyed received more than this rate and one-half
received less. The middle range is defined by two rates of
pay such that one-fourth of the employees earned less than
the lower of these rates and one-fourth earned more than the
higher rate.

Information on wages relates to employer-paid straight­
time hourly wages, excluding premium pay for overtime and
for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Also ex­
cluded are tips and the value of free rooms, meals, and uni­
forms for employees receiving such perquisites, as well as
performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type
negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, profit-sharing
payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end
bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Cost-of-living
increases and service charges added to customers’ bills and
distributed by employers to their employees were included
as part of the employee’s regular pay. For selected “tipped”
occupations, average hourly earnings, including employer-

Customer tips

Employee benefits

Estimates of customer tips refer to establishment averages
for tipped workers in specified job categories. These esti­
mates were obtained from information provided by estab­
lishment officials, usually after determining the tipping
pattern for the occupational groups and facilities involved.
In the process, account was taken of tipping and nontipping
customers, variations in tipping patterns among the different
serving locations (e.g., lunch counters, dining rooms, or
bars), as well as such informal practices as the sharing of
tips with other employees, including waiters’ and waitresses’
assistants.
One of the common procedures used to obtain estimates
of average hourly tips for the various waiter and waitress
categories and public bartenders was to (1) multiply the ap­
propriate weekly receipts from the sale of food and drinks
by the employer’s estimate of the average percent tip per
customer bill, (2) sum these products, and (3) divide by die
total weekly hours worked by all employees in the specific
job category. The tips for waiters’ and waitresses’ assistants
were frequently determined in relation to those of the waiters
and waitresses with whom they worked. Similar procedures
were used to derive average hourly tip estimates for bellpersons by obtaining the number of guests accompanied to
and from their rooms and the number of room service
requests during a week.
Payments which were not considered tips included com­
pulsory service charges which are distributed to employees,
and amounts distributed by employers providing banquet
facilities where the amount paid is set in negotiations between
the customer and the employer.
The published estimates were based on only those workers
for whom tip information was obtained.

Employee benefits in an establishment were considered
applicable to all nonsupervisory, nonoffice workers if they
applied to half or more of such workers 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 eligibility require­
ments, 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 summary of vacation plans is limited
to formal arrangements and excludes informal plans whereby
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 com­
mon practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual
establishment provisions for progression. For example,
changes in proportions indicated at 20 years of service may
include changes which occurred between 15 and 20 years.

Insurance, health, and retirement plans. Data are presented
for insurance, health, and retirement plans for which the em­
ployer pays all or a part of the cost. The benefits may be
underwritten by a commercial insurance company, paid
directly by an employer or union from current operating
funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose, or provided
by a health maintenance organization (hmo). Workers
provided the option of an insurance plan or an hmo are
reported under both types of plans. Legally required plans
such as Social Security, workers’ disability compensation,
and temporary disability insurance are excluded.2 '
Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity
(usually through an insurance policy) in case of death of the
covered worker. Accidental death and dismemberment in­
surance is limited to plans which provide benefit payments
in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result
of an accident.

Metropolitan areas
The term “metropolitan areas,” as used in this bulletin,
refers to Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA’s) or Primary
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (pmsa’s), as defined by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget through October
1984. In general, an MSA or pmsa is defined as a county or
group of contiguous counties which contains at least one cen­
tral city of at least 50,000 inhabitants or a central urbanized
area of at least 100,000. Counties contiguous to the one con­
taining such a city or area are included in an MSA if, accord­
ing to certain criteria, they are essentially metropolitan in
character and are socially and economically integrated with
the central city. In New England, where the city and town
are administratively more important than the county, they
are the units used in defining MSA’s.

1 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disa­
bled by injury or illness which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws
in California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which
meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which
(1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those
specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out of a
State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits
are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.
State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund;
in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees con­
tribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the em­
ployees’ share and the total contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required
to contribute more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New
York, employees can agree to contribute more if the State rules that the additional
contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided.

Scheduled weekly hours
Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time nonsupervisory, nonoffice employees.

specialized facility) for addiction to alcohol or drugs.
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 lump-sum
retirement plans (one payment or several over a specified
period of time) made to employees on retirement. Establish­
ments providing both lump-sum payments and pensions were
included in data for each, but establishments having optional
plans providing employees a choice of either lump-sum pay­
ments or pensions were considered as having only pension
benefits.

Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal
plans3 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 tabulations are
provided for (1) plans which provide full pay and no wait­
ing period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a
waiting period.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to
totally disabled employees upon the expiration of sick leave,
sickness and accident insurance, or both, or after a specified
period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made
until the end of disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for
retirement benefits. Payments may be full or partial, but are
almost always reduced by Social Security, workers’ disa­
bility compensation, and private pension benefits payable to
the disabled employee.
Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans pro­
vide at least partial payment for: 1) hospital room charges;
2) inpatient surgery; and 3) doctors’ fees for hospital, office,
or home visits. These plans also typically cover other ex­
penses such as outpatient surgery and prescription drugs.
An hmo provides comprehensive medical care in return
for preestablished fees. Unlike insurance, hmo’s cover rou­
tine preventive care as well as care required because of an
illness and do not have deductibles or coinsurance (although
there may be small fixed copayments for selected services).
hmo’s may provide services through their own facilities;
through contracts with hospitals, physicians, and other
providers, such as individual practice associations (ipa’s);
or through a combination of methods.
Dental care plans provide at least partial payment for rou­
tine dental care, such as checkups and cleanings, fillings,
and X-rays. Excluded are plans which cover only oral sur­
gery or care required as the result of an accident.
Vision care plans provide at least partial payment for rou­
tine eye examinations and/or eyeglasses. Plans which res­
trict benefits to certain kinds of surgery or care required as
a result of an accident are not reported.
Hearing care plans provide at least partial payment for
hearing examinations, hearing aids, or both.
Alcohol and drug abuse treatment plans provide at least
partial payment or institutional treatment (in a hospital or

Health plan participation. Data relate to the proportion of
nonsupervisory, nonoffice workers participating in selected
health care plans. A plan is included even though it is only
offered to a minority of employees, or a majority of the em­
ployees in an establishment do not choose to participate in it.

Paidfimeral and jury-duty leave.4 Formal plans which pro­
vide at least partial payment for time lost as a result of
attending funerals of specified family members or serving
as a juror.

Military leave. Formal plans which provide excused absence
from work with full or partial pay while on annual training
duty. Plans that provide paid leave only for temporary emer­
gency duty are excluded.

Severance pay. Formal plans providing for payments to em­
ployees permanently separated through no fault of their own
for such reasons as technological change or closing or scal­
ing down all or part of the establishment.
Uniform allowances. Data relate to establishment provisions
for uniforms, or laundering of uniforms, or both, or monetary
allowances in lieu of such provisions, covering a majority of
employees who are required to wear uniforms in the-occu­
pations surveyed.
Meal provisions. Information relates to the number of daily
meals provided to employees in the selected occupations
without charge or at reduced price to the employees.

3 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the
minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need
not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis
are excluded.

4 When paid jury-duty leave is required by law, as it is in Alabama, Nebraska,
Tennessee, parts of Florida, and Massachusetts, plans are included only if the em­
ployer provides the employees with benefits exceeding the legal requirement.

Appendix B. Occupational
Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the
Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field representatives
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 die 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 differ
significantly from those used in individual establishments or
those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job
descriptions, the Bureau’s field representatives woe instructed
to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, begin­
ners, trainees, and handicapped, temporary, and probationary
workers. However, part-time workers employed on a regular
basis were included if they matched one of the job descriptions.
The titles and 4-digit codes below the job titles in this ap­
pendix are taken from the 1980 edition of the Standard Oc­
cupational Classification Manual (soc), issued by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Office of Federal Statistical
Policy and Standards.
In general, the Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational
descriptions are much more specific than those found in the
SOC manual. Therefore, in comparing the results of this
survey with other sources, differences in occupational defi­
nitions should be taken into consideration.
