Preface
This re p o rt on prem ium pay pro v isio n s, p rep ared
by the U .S. D epartm ent of L ab o r’s B ureau of L abor
S ta tistic s, was requested and financed by the P o st Office
D epartm ent. The re p o rt d escrib es prem ium pay p ro v i­
sions under 486 m ajo r collective bargaining agreem ents
in seven in d u strie s.
In establishm ents norm ally operating on a 5-day,
Monday through F rid ay , workw eek, it has becom e a com ­
m on p ra c tic e , under collective bargaining ag reem en ts, to
pay a prem ium ra te for any w ork perform ed on Saturday
and Sunday, o r Sunday alone. The penalty rate in these
circu m stan ces is attached to w ork on the w eekend, ra th e r
than to overtim e as such, and is designed to discourage
the scheduling of w ork on expected days of re s t and r e c ­
reatio n and to com pensate w orkers for the inconvenience
of working on these days.
In continuous-process estab lish m en ts, on the other
hand, w ork is reg u larly scheduled on Saturday and Sunday;
these days thus becom e p a rt of the no rm al 5-day w ork­
week for som e o r m ost w o rk ers, depending on how shift
schedules a re se t up. The designation of the sixth and
seventh consecutive days of the workweek as the "weekend"
for these w orkers reso lv es one problem , but others are
ra ise d by union dem ands for prem ium pay for reg u larly
scheduled w ork on Sunday, and often Saturday as w ell, or
for higher prem ium ra te s.
This re p o rt was p rep ared in the B u reau’s D ivision
of In d u strial and L abor R elations by Rose T. Selby, under
the sup erv isio n of H arry P . Cohany.

1 Although these industries are commonly considered as continuous-process industries, every company or plant
covered by the agreements studied may not have been on continuous operations. There is no way of knowing this
from the language of the agreement.
2 See Premium Pay for Night, Weekend, and Overtime Work in Major Union Contracts (BLS Bulletin 1251,
1959). An exact comparison cannot be made because of a difference in the composition of two of the industries
studied. In the 1958 analysis, railroad and airline agreements were not included; and all of the printing and pub­
lishing agreements were included, while the 1966 study limited agreements in this industry to the newspaper segment.
