NOTE
Many State minimum-wage laws and orders include supplementary provisions designed to
safeguard the basic minimum-wage rates. Among these supplementary provisions are requirements
governing: Overtime pay and minimum daily wage; extra pay for split shifts and long overall
spread of hours; ~inimum meal and rest periods; pay for waitine time and travel time; handling
of tips and gratuities; maximum deductions for m19als, lodging, and uniforms; and other special
provisions affecting working conditions. This bulletin gives detailed information on the supplementary provisions in effect during the period July 1, 1942 to January 1, 1961.
In most minimum-wage States, these supplementary provisions have been established by wage
orders for individual industries and occupations; in some States they are provided in the
minimum-wage statute itself. Similar provisions established by other State laws affecting women,
and applicable to occupations for which minimum-wage rates are in effect, are included in an
appendix to this bulletin.
Most State minimum-wage laws and orders apply only to women and minors; those that apply
also to men are indicated.
The major work on this bulletin was done by Regina M. Neitzey, of the Women's Bureau's
Division of Women's Labor Law and Civil and Political Status.
This bulletin is designed for use in conjunction with Women's Bureau Bulletin No. 267,
"State Minimum-Wage Laws and Orders." Bulletin 267, issued in two parts, may be obtained from
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. c., as
follows: Part !--Historical Development and Statutory Provisions, 1958; 75 cents. Part II-Analysis of Rates and Coverage, 1959; 60 cents; Addendum to Part II, Puerto Rico, 1959; 20 cents.
(Supplements for insertion in Part II are available on request from the Women's Bureau, U.S.
Department of Labor, Washington 25, D. C.)
