As the N ation’s largest em ployer, the F ederal G overnm ent has an o b ligation to develop and m aintain a sound program fo r com pensating its em ployees— a 

p rogram which is equitable both to the em ployees and to the cou n try’s taxpayers. 

M oreov er, p o licie s adopted by the F ederal G overnm ent m ay have a substantial 

im pact on em ploym ent and com pensation p ra ctices in private industry.

The F ederal Salary R eform A ct of 1962 is a landm ark in the evolution 

of F ederal pay p ra ctice s. It d ecla res that, as a m atter of policy, "F e d e ra l 

salary rates shall be com parable with private en terprise salary rates for the 

sam e levels of w ork. ” To im plem ent this declaration , the statute calls upon the 

P residen t to have prepared ’’annually a rep ort which com pares the rates of sa lary fixed by statute fo r F ederal em ployees with the rates of salary paid for the 

sam e levels of w ork in private en terprise as determ ined on the basis of app ropriate annual surveys conducted by the Bureau o f L abor S ta tistics, ...” F u rth erm ore, the P residen t is to report this com parison and his recom m endations 

for revision of F ederal p ra ctices annually to the C on gress. 1

In keeping with this legislative m andate, the Bureau of Labor Statistics 

conducts annually a national su rvey of salary rates for a wide variety of p r o ­

fession a l, adm inistrative, tech n ical, and c le ric a l jo b s . Inform ation is collected 

from a sam ple of establishm ents to provide representative data for m uch of the 

private industry se cto r of the econom y. 2

It is recogn ized that b asic salary n orm ally is only part, although the 

m a jor part, of total em ployee com pensation. P a rticu la rly since W orld War II, 

a host of supplem entary pay p ra ctices (com m on ly called fringe b e n e fits3) have 

becom e established as integral parts of the com pensation package. Consequently, 

the Bureau of the Budget and the C ivil S ervice C om m ission , which share r e ­

sponsibility fo r analyzing results of the BLS salary survey and fo r preparing the 

P resid en t's recom m endations to the C ongress on F ederal pay, expressed a need 

fo r data on supplem entary pay in private industry.

The Bureau o f the Budget and the C ivil S ervice C om m ission , th erefore, 

requested BLS to conduct a study of supplem entary com pensation in private in ­

dustry which could be analyzed in conjunction with the BLS salary survey. Plans 

fo r the su rvey w ere developed by staff o f the three agencies.

1 For the most recent Presidential report, see Pay Increases for Certain Civilian Employees and Members of the 

Uniformed Services, Message from the President of the United States, 89th Cong., 1st se ss., House of Representatives, 

Document 170 (May 12, 1965). See also Federal Statutory Salary Systems, Communication from the President of the United 

States Transmitting Joint Annual Report on Federal Statutory Pay Systems, Pursuant to the Federal Salary Reform Act 

of 1962, 89th Cong., 1st sess., House of Representatives, Document 174 (May 17, 1965). The Salary Reform Act 

does not apply to Federal manual workers, whose wages are tied to private industry wages in the localities where 

they work. The act also does not apply to employees in some agencies, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, 

coming under separate pay systems.

2 See, for example, National Survey of Professional, Administrative, Technical, and Clerical Pay, FebruaryMarch 1965 (BLS Bulletin 1469, 1965).

3 The term supplementary compensation is not more precise than fringe benefits, but it avoids some of the 

ambiguities of the latter, which implies that the practices are a sm all insignificant appendage to the wage and salary 

structure, voluntary on the part of the employer, and of exclusive benefit to the employee. None of these im plications fit current conditions.

P re fa c e --- Continued

The resulting survey, the findings of which are reported in this bulletin, 

applied to the calendar year 1963 and covered nonproduction (w h ite-colla r) em ­

ployees in m etrop olitan -area establishm ents having a total em ploym ent of 250 

w ork ers or m o re . M ost private industries w ere included in the survey. 4 To 

the extent that recordk eepin g p ra ctice s in private industry perm itted, data w ere 

collected separately fo r groups of w h ite -co lla r em ployees rather than sim ply fo r 

all such em ployees com bined. 5 Although the study em phasized collection of data 

on expenditures for various types o f supplem entary com pensation, con siderable 

m aterial was collected on the p ra ctice s giving rise to the expenditures. H ow ever, 

no attem pt was m ade to m easu re expenditures fo r all supplem entary com pensation 

p ra ctice s or to study labor costs— a still broader undertaking. The p ra ctice s 

studied are believed to constitute the m a jor elem ents of supplem entary com pen ­

sation in private industry. 6

The sam ple o f establishm ents origin ally selected fo r study included about 

1,200 units. A pproxim ately 750 reports w ere obtained, som e fo r sin gle-u n it 

com pan ies, others for individual establishm ents of la rger firm s, and still others 

fo r the total operations or division s of m ulti establishm ent com panies. Many 

reports did not contain all the inform ation requested. C onsequently, it was not 

p ossib le to weight the reports receiv ed to rep resen t statistically the u niverse 

from which the sam ple was drawn. The adequacy of the data as an in dicator 

o f private industry p ra ctice s is con sidered in the body of the report.

The BLS su rvey was designed p rin cip ally to m eet needs of the F ed eral 

G overnm ent, but the findings have con siderably broader application. They w ill 

be of aid in evaluating pay p ra ctice s in individual firm s and also w ill be useful 

in various econ om ic an alyses. It is not unreasonable to assum e that as the u se ­

fulness of data on expenditures fo r supplem entary com pensation becom es m ore 

w idely recogn ized , m ore em ployers w ill m aintain appropriate r e c o r d s , thereby 

sim plifying data co llection in future su rveys. Appendix B contains a com parison 

of expenditures in the F ederal G overnm ent and in private industry.

The Bureau o f L abor S tatistics, on its own behalf and on behalf of the 

other F ed eral agen cies that participated in planning the su rvey, w ishes to ex ­

p re ss its appreciation to the com panies cooperating in this difficult and tim e - 

consum ing endeavor and to the individuals who gave advice during the d ev elop ­

m ental stages o f the survey.

This study was conducted in the B ureau's D ivision of N ational Wage and 

Salary Incom e by N orm an J. Sam uels, Chief of the D ivision , under the general 

d irection o f L. R. L insenm ayer, A ssistan t C om m ission er fo r W ages and Industrial 

R elations. Sam uel E. Cohen and T heodore J. Golonka devised the sam pling p r o ­

cedures and su pervised the selection o f the sam ple. The analysis was prepared 

by V ictor J. Sheifer, assisted by G erald D. W eintraub. F ield w ork fo r the sur~ 

vey was d irected by the B ureau's A ssistan t R egional D ire cto rs fo r W ages and 

Industrial R elations. Data pertaining to the F ed eral G overnm ent w ere com piled 

and transm itted to the Bureau by the Bureau of the Budget and the C ivil S ervice 

C om m ission .

4 The universe and the sampling procedures are described in detail in appendix A.

5 The reasons for collecting data separately by groups, and the criteria for selecting the groups, are considered

in appendix A.

6 A more detailed discussion of the items studied is in appendix A. The framework for this study is sim ilar

to that used in other BLS studies of employer expenditures for supplementary compensation practices. A list of Bureau

publications in the field is found at the end of this bulletin.

Supplementary Compensation for Nonproduction Workers, 1963

Chapter I. Introduction and Summary

Under to d a y 's many faceted system s fo r com pensating em ployees, regular 

pay fo r hours actually w orked is an inadequate m easu re of a w o r k e r 's total earn ­

ings. N orm ally, part of an e m p lo y e e 's pay represents a continuation of salary 

during leave p erio d s, such as tim e away from the job becau se of vacations, h o lidays, or illn e sse s. Other em ployer paym ents to w ork ers are in addition to regular 

or b a sic salary, exam ples of which are overtim e pay, nonproduction bonuses, and 

severan ce pay. F urther, som e em ployer outlays fo r various retirem ent, health, 

unem ploym ent, and related em ployee benefits are paym ents to funds, insurance 

com pan ies, and governm ental units. This bulletin analyzes m a jo r supplem ents, 

con siderin g both em ployer expenditures fo r the supplem ents and the p ra ctices fo r 

which the paym ents are m ade.

E m ployer Expenditures

In 1963, em ployer expenditures fo r supplem entary pay constituted a 

sizable portion of total Outlays fo r em ployee com pensation. The average re ­

porting unit studied spent an amount equal to m ore than on e-fou rth of the ba sic 

sa la ries in providing to nonproduction em ployees the various supplem ents 

analyzed. (See chart 1 and table 1 .) When con siderin g this figu re, it is im ­

portant to rem em ber that paym ents fo r leave are part of b a sic salary. T h erefo r e , expenditures fo r b a sic salary and outlays fo r all supplem ents are not additive; com bination of the two would involve double counting of leave paym ents.

It is useful to con sid er average em ployer expenditures fo r individual 

groups of supplem ents as w ell as outlays fo r all item s com bined. T otal paid 

leave, excluding sick leave, 1 entailed the largest expenditure fo r nonproduction 

w ork ers in the reporting units studied— 8 percen t of b a sic sa la ries. Substantial 

expenditures w ere also reported fo r retirem ent p rogram s and health benefits 

p rog ra m s— 7 .4 and 4 .2 p ercen t, resp ectively. Outlays fo r the rem aining item s 

studied w ere sm a ller: Penalty pay, 3. 2 percen t; yearend and other sp ecial b o ­

n u ses, 2.3 percen t; unem ploym ent p ro g ra m s, 1.6 percen t; and savings and thrift

plans, 0.3 percen t.

The figu res in the precedin g paragraphs w ere derived from all reports 

obtained in the study, including those stating there w ere no expenditures fo r a 

given item . In com puting the averages, units with no expenditures w ere treated 

as having ze ro expenditures. Thus, the resulting averages are influenced by 

both the level of expenditures in units making paym ents and the relative num ber 

of units having expenditures. A verages w ere also com puted based upon only those 

units which reported paym ents fo r given supplem ents. *

* Conceptually, sick leave can be classified either as a form of paid leave or as a health benefit program. In

tabulating data for all nonproduction employees combined, sick leave was included as a health benefit program. However, in computing expenditure rates for individual employee groups, sick leave was included as a type of paid leave,

since aggregrate expenditures for all health benefit programs were not determined by employee group.

B ecause of w idespread prevalen ce, averages com puted fo r all reporting 

units and fo r units with expenditures w ere the sam e fo r total paid lea ve, e x ­

cluding sick leave; retirem en t p rog ra m s; unem ploym ent p rogram s; and health 

benefit p rog ra m s. Penalty pay at 3. 3 percen t fo r units with expenditures was 

only slightly higher than fo r all reporting units. On the other hand, average 

expenditures for bonuses in units with such expenditures, 4 .6 percen t, w ere tw ice 

the average fo r all reporting units. R eflecting the relative infrequency with which 

the item appeared, the average fo r savings and thrift plans in units with these 

expenditures was 2. 5 percen t, m ore than eight tim es that fo r all reporting units 

(table 2).

A s a gen eral ru le, units with 1,000 em ployees or m ore tended to have 

la rg e r expenditures than did units with 250—999 em ployees. 2 H ow ever, yearend 

and other sp ecial bonuses provided a striking exception; the average for all o f 

the sm aller units was 3. 1 percen t, com pared to 1.7 percen t fo r the la rg e r units. 

Bonus expenditures o ccu rre d relatively m ore frequently in units with 250—999 em ­

ployees and, when found, on the average w ere g reater in these units.

No con sisten t pattern o f differen tials between m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing industries is d iscern ible in the findings o f this study. F or som e 

groups of supplem ents, such as total paid leave, excluding sick leave, and unem ploym ent p r o g ra m s, the averages fo r m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in ­

dustries w ere alm ost identical. H ow ever, expenditures fo r retirem en t program s 

w ere m arkedly higher in nonm anufacturing industries— 8 .4 percen t com pared with

6. 8 percen t in m anufacturing in du stries. On the other hand, expenditures fo r 

bonuses w ere higher in m anufacturing industries than in the nonm anufacturing sector— resp e ctiv e ly 2. 6 percen t fo r all reporting units as com pared with 

1. 8 percen t.

S im ilarly, no consistent differen tials w ere found between expenditures 

fo r nonexem pt and e x e m p t3 nonproduction w ork ers. In term s of expenditures 

fo r all reporting units, paym ents fo r total paid lea ve, including sick lea ve, a v ­

eraged 9. 6 percen t fo r nonexem pt w ork ers and 9. 9 p ercen t fo r exem pt em ployees. 

The close n e ss o f the two figu res gives no indication of the d ifferen ces in in dividual com ponents. Thus, while vacation expenditures w ere g reater fo r exem pt 

em ployees— 5. 3 as against 4. 5 percen t— the opposite was true fo r sick leave— 

1.7 percen t fo r nonexem pt and 1.4 percen t fo r exem pt em ployees. L ittle, if 

any, d ifferen ce was found between the em ployee groups with re sp e ct to other 

types of lea ve. H ow ever, overtim e paym ents fo r nonexem pt em ployees averaged 

5 .6 p e rce n t fo r all reportin g units com pared to only 1 p ercen t fo r exem pt em p loy ­

ees. C on versely, bonus expenditures w ere substantially higher for exem pt e m ­

ployees— 3 .4 percen t as against 1.1 percen t for nonexem pt em ployees in all r e ­

porting units (tables 11—14). A ctually, the highest average paym ents reported 

fo r total paid lea v e, including sick lea ve, 10. 2 percen t, w ere m ade to upper 

m anagem ent e m p lo y e e s .4 L ikew ise, bonus expenditures w ere con siderably higher 

fo r upper m anagem ent em p loyees, averaging 6. 6 percen t fo r all reporting units 

and 14. 9 percen t in units with expenditures (tables 15 and 16).

Employment figures pertain to total employees in the unit, not to the number o f nonproduction employees.

3 The terms "nonexempt" and "exempt" pertain to application o f regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The former group is subject to the act's overtime provisions, while the latter is not. In general, the nonexempt

group consists o f nonsupervisory workers, whereas the exempt group is made up o f professional, administrative, and

executive employees. More detail on this point is in appendix A.

4 In addition to being presented separately, payments to upper management employees are included in the allexempt-employee figures.

Supplem entary C om pensation P ra ctice s

One o r m o re form s of paid leave appeared in each o f the reporting units. 

Each unit had som e type o f vacation plan. (See chart 2. ) T ypically, the amount 

o f vacation pay varied with an individual1 s length of s e r v ice , the m axim um c o m ­

m only being 3 o r 4 weeks (tables 17-19). Thus, em ployer paym ents fo r vacations 

w ere dependent upon two fa cto rs, the vacation plan and the le n g th -o f-se r v ic e d is ­

tribution o f the w ork fo r c e . In only a m in ority o f the reporting units did at least 

half of those em ployees below the upper m anagem ent group receiv e 3 w eeks o r 

m o re of vacation pay (tables 20-22). Paid holidays w ere reported in all but one 

o f the units, the m ost com m on num ber p er year being 7 o r 8 (table 23). F orm a l 

sick leave plans o ccu rre d less frequently, but n everth eless existed in a m a jority 

o f the reporting units. To som e extent, sick n ess and acciden t insurance w as a 

substitute fo r form a l sick leave plans; h ow ever, both benefits w ere provided in 

m any units, while others had neither (table 24). Paid leave fo r variou s civ ic 

resp on sib ilities and paid person al leave also w ere com m on, and o ccu rre d re la ­

tively m o re frequently fo r exem pt em ployees (tables 25 and 26).

C lose to fou r-fifth s of the reporting units w ere on a 40-h ou r b a sic w ork ­

w eek. Nonexem pt em ployees alm ost u n iversally re ce iv e d extra pay, usually tim e 

and on e-h alf, fo r extra w ork. O vertim e pay was m uch less com m on fo r exem pt 

em p loy ees, excluding upper m anagem ent, occu rrin g in about a third o f the r e ­

porting units and m o st frequently at straigh t-tim e rates. O vertim e was rarely 

paid to upper m anagem ent em ployees. O ccasion ally, com pen satory tim e off was 

available to exem pt em ployees as a substitute fo r overtim e pay. E xtra pay fo r 

w ork on holidays was provided fo r nonexem pt w ork ers in o v er fo u r-fifth s o f the 

reporting units. Such pay was found fo r exem pt em p loyees, excluding upper 

m anagem ent, in only about on e-fifth of the units, and was rare fo r upper m anagem ent em ployees. Som e units without extra-pay p ra ctice s did not w ork on holidays 

and hence had no need fo r a pay p ra ctice . Shift differen tial p ra ctice s follow ed 

the pattern found fo r other prem iu m pay item s. That is , extra pay fo r nightwork 

was com m on fo r nonexem pt em ployees; le ss frequent fo r exem pt em ployees, e x ­

pense reim bu rsem en t, and only fo r upper m anagem ent em ployees was it found in 

a m a jority of the reporting units (table 45). It m ust be kept in m ind that m any 

com panies did not have these p rovision s becau se there w ere no occa sio n s fo r 

their u se.

F requently, units with a given benefit provided it to em ployees in each 

of the three nonproduction w ork er groups, although not n e ce ssa rily in p re c is e ly 

the sam e fashion. This was particu larly true fo r many leave item s and private 

w elfare plans. H ow ever, prem ium pay often was lim ited to a single group— 

nonexem pt em ployees (tables 46 and 47).

D erivation of A verages

In sev era l m a jor re sp e cts, m ethods of tabulating data obtained in the 

survey w ere affected by the lim ited respon se to requ ests for inform ation. The 

inability or unw illingness of many com panies to furnish data m ade it im p ossib le 

to p ro je ct survey findings to represen t the un iverse of establishm ents fro m which 

the initial sam ple was drawn. Thus, figu res presen ted in this bulletin r e fe r 

only to the sp e cific reporting units which supplied inform ation.

B ecause a p rop er weighting schem e could not be devised, equal weight 

was given to each rep ort, reg a rd less of size. H ow ever, it should be ob serv ed 

that m ore large than sm all units, i. e. , those with 1,000 em ployees or m o re , 

com pared to those with 250—999 em ployees, w ere studied. A lso , resu lts a re 

shown separately fo r units in the two size grou ps. Expenditures fo r each supplem entary com pensation item o r group of item s in a reporting unit w ere e x ­

p re sse d as a percen t of that unit’ s expenditures for basic sa la ries— defined in 

accord a n ce with the concept of salary in F ederal S erv ice. A verage com pensation 

fo r an item (vacations or all retirem en t p rog ra m s, fo r exam ple) was determ ined 

by com puting a sim ple average of the percen ts in each of the reporting units.

In many in stan ces, com panies w ere unable to furnish the sp e cific amount 

paid fo r a given item , but did state whether o r not there was an expenditure. 

Only units reporting d ollar amounts w ere included when averages w ere com puted 

fo r units with expenditures fo r an item . H ow ever, to avoid biasing the resu lt, 

units reporting there w ere expenditures, but not showing the am ounts, w ere in ­

cluded in com puting averages for all reporting units on the assum ption that the 

p ercen ts o f b a sic salaries represen ted by their expenditures w ere not differen t 

fro m the average in units reporting the amount of expenditures. 5

In this connection, it should be ob serv ed that estim ates of averages fo r 

groups of item s w ere based only upon reports giving actual dollar amounts (or 

reporting there w ere no expenditures) for all com ponent item s. R eports giving 

expenditures for som e of the com ponents w ere used in com puting averages fo r 

those item s but not fo r the group total. T h e re fo re , the sum of the averages 

shown fo r the com ponents m ay not n e ce ssa rily equal the group total presented. 

A s a ru le, the discrep an cy is m in or. A sid e fro m th is, averages com puted fo r 

reporting units with expenditures are not additive becau se the averages m ay be 

based upon differen t groups of rep orts.

5 The number of units reporting there were expenditures, but not showing the amount, is included in the detail

tables. Since there were some reports which were not complete for all items, the number o f reports used in computing the averages varies by item.

Evaluation of Survey R esults

W hile it is not p ossible to make any quantitative statem ents as to the 

reliability or d e ficien cies of the survey resu lts, it can be presum ed from external 

evidence that these resu lts give an adequate picture of supplem entary com pensation 

p ra ctices and expenditures. R easonably consistent and log ica l relationships appear 

in the data, such as relationships between large and sm all firm s, m anufacturing 

and nonm anufacturing in du stries, and non exem pt and exem pt em ployees, in line 

with relationships apparent from p rio r an alyses. D istributions of reporting units 

accordin g to magnitude of expenditures appear consistent with known p ra ctice s. 

Contrasts between the findings o f this survey and of other BLS studies are in ­

cluded in subsequent chapters.

The problem of a ccu ra cy of survey findings is not lim ited to size of 

resp on se. In many ca s e s , respondents estim ated the inform ation supplied. F or 

exam ple, a num ber o f com panies estim ated holiday pay by m ultiplying average 

hourly earnings by the num ber of holiday h ours. E xperien ce in past surveys 

indicates that figu res derived through such techniques, although not taken from 

accounting statem ents, do adequately re fle ct the true pictu re. 6

6 In some instances, BLS personnel estimated expenditure data for individual items in a report. These estimates

were made only when there was sufficient information in the report to permit application of estimating techniques.

Chapter II. Expenditures for Supplements

Pay supplements may be grouped in several ways. For example, they

may be classified according to the type of benefit provided, thereby taking into

account the fact that individual items may complement each other or serve as

substitute means of providing a general type of benefit. A second method of

classification relates supplements to the manner in which expenditures are made,

i. e. , payments which are part of basic salaries are in one category, payroll

expenditures in addition to basic salaries in a second group, and outlays in addition to payroll in a third. These two approaches are followed in this study,

the former being used for data applying to all nonproduction employees combined

and the latter applying to individual groups of white-collar employees.

All Nonproduction Employees

Paid Leave, Excluding Sick Leave. The widespread adoption of paid

leave plans for white-collar employees is revealed clearly in table 3. All reporting units had expenditures for vacations, and all but one made holiday payments. Payments for military, jury, witness, voting, or personal leave (hereafter referred to as miscellaneous leave) were less frequent, but still occurred

in over 9 out of 10 reporting units. Such payments were least common in manufacturing industry units with 250—999 employees, but even here were found in

8 out of 10 units.

The average reporting unit paid 8 percent of basic salaries for total

paid leave, excluding sick leave. Vacations were the major item, 4.8 percent.

Holiday pay added another 2. 9 percent, and miscellaneous paid leave only 0. 3 percent. On the average, units in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries

spent approximately the same percentages of pay for the three leave items combined. However, expenditures were greater in reporting units with 1,000 employees or more as compared to those with 250—999 employees— 8. 5 as against

7. 6 percent.

Concentration on average expenditures disregards the considerable variation in level of payments in individual reporting units. Three units showed outlays

between 3 and 4 percent while, at the other extreme, two units reported expenditures between 13 and 14 percent. Nevertheless, there was a strong tendency for

averages to cluster toward the center of the distribution. Three out of four units

reporting expenditure figures fell in the range of 6—10 percent. Particularly

interesting is a comparison of the distributions of holiday pay expenditures in

manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, the former showing much less

variation. This reflects the diverse practices in nonmanufacturing industries,

which include, among others, retail trade companies, commonly having relatively

few paid holidays, and financial institutions, often having many paid holidays.7

Additional information on variation in amount of expenditure is shown

in chart 3, depicting the range within which the middle 50 percent of the units

actually reporting expenditures were found. The general position of a bar in

relation to the base line is a measure of the magnitude of expenditures, while

the length of a bar indicates dispersion among units with respect to expenditure

level. (The median value, also shown, is the central value in data ranked according to level of expenditures. It is the dividing line above and below which

the number of units reporting expenditures are the sam e.)

Retirement Programs. Each of the reporting units in the survey was

covered by a legally required retirement program— either old-age, survivors,

and disability insurance (social security—OASDI) or railroad retirement. In addition, close to 90 percent of the units had expenditures for a private plan. There

was no substantial difference between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries in the relative frequency of expenditures for private plans; however, such

payments were more common in the larger units (table 4).

Average expenditures for all retirement programs, public and private,

added 7.4 percent to basic salaries. Nonmanufacturing industries had higher

expenditures than manufacturing units (8.4 versus 6.8 percent) and larger units

spent more than smaller units (7. 7 as against 7 percent). Interestingly, whereas

at one time public plans were the primary ones, in 1963^ private plans entailed

the greater average employer outlay for all reporting units— 4.9 compared to

2. 6 percent. The average employer payment for private plans in units with such

expenditures was 5. 5 percent.

There is a striking contrast between the degree of variation in employer expenditures for legally required and private plans. This contrast is not

surprising. In 1963, the employer's tax rate for OASDI was 35/g percent of the

first $4,800 of each employee's pay. The railroad retirement tax was 71/* percent, and was based on the first $400 of monthly railroad compensation for the

period to November 1 and on the first $450 thereafter. Thus, the degree to

which expenditures as a percent of basic salaries differ among units for a legally

required plan is relatively small, being dependent on the extent of variation in

the amount and frequency with which individual employee earnings exceed the

statutory ceiling. On the other hand, much variation is to be expected among

private plans, since expenditures for them are influenced by many forces, such

as liberality of benefits, age composition of the work force, method of financing,

and extent of funding past-service liabilities.

Unemployment Programs. As with retirement programs, each of the

reporting units in the survey was covered by a legally required unemployment

program, either the Federal-State unemployment compensation program or railroad unemployment insurance. However, employer expenditures for private plans

providing benefits to laid-off employees were considerably less frequent than payments to private retirement programs. Just under half of the reporting units

paid severance or dismissal pay and less than 1 out of 20 had expenditures for

supplemental unemployment benefits (SUB). Four-fifths of the units reporting

SUB payments were in manufacturing industries and had 1,000 employees or

more (table 5). 8

On an all-reporting-unit basis, expenditures for all unemployment programs averaged 1. 6 percent and consisted almost exclusively of outlays for legally

required programs— 1. 5 percent. Even in units which had severance and dismissal pay or SUB expenditures, payments averaged only 0.3 percent for each

and rarely went as high as 1 percent.

— ____________ ________ , i

p

A BLS stud/ o f provisions in major collective bargaining agreements, mainly covering blue-collar workers, also 

found a concentration of SUB plans in manufacturing industries. See Major Collective Bargaining Agreements: Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plans and Wage Employment Guarantees (BLS Bulletin 1425-3, 1965).

Health Benefit Programs, All but one of the units reported expenditures

for one or more health benefit programs (table 6). These programs take on a

variety of forms. Some, such as sick leave and sickness and accident (wage and

salary continuance) insurance, are designed to continue all or part of the salary

of an employee absent from work because of illness. Others, such as hospitalization, medical, and surgical insurance, reimburse employees for expenses growing

out of illness. Also included are payments occasioned by the death of an employee. Included are legally required programs— workmen's compensation, for

example— and private plans. Since to a considerable extent these programs are

complementary rather than alternative means of meeting a particular need, a

reporting unit's compensation package usually included a number of programs.

The vast majority of reporting units had expenditures for each of the following

programs: Legally required work-connected disability programs; sick leave; life

insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and death benefits;

and hospitalization, surgical, and medical plans, and sickness and accident insurance. Outlays for "other" legally required programs, consisting of payments under

temporary disability insurance laws (which exist in four States) and payments into

the Ohio Disabled Workmen's Relief Fund, were found in 1 out of 6 units.

Expenditures for all health benefit programs combined averaged 4. 2 percent, and consisted mainly of outlays for private plans. Reflecting the low incidence of accidents among white-collar employees, legally required workconnected disability programs entailed expenditures of only 0 .3 percent. "Other"

legally required programs resulted in average payments of less than 0. 05 percent

for all units and 0. 2 percent in units with expenditures. Outlays for private plans

encompassed both direct payments to employees, i. e. , sick leave, and nonpayroll

expenditures, primarily payments to insurance companies or funds for health,

accident, and life insurance; the former amounted to 1. 5 percent for all reporting

units and the latter to 2. 5 percent. Generally, only minor variations in average

expenditures existed among industry and size groups, and were more important

for private plans. Particularly notable is the higher expenditure for hospitalization, surgical, and medical plans, and sickness and accident insurance in manufacturing industries.

Other Programs. In addition to the items already discussed, several

other programs were included in the study— savings and thrift plans, yearend

and other special bonuses, and penalty pay (overtime pay and shift differentials).

These three programs varied in frequency of occurrence. Only 1 of 10 reporting

units had payments for savings and thrift plans, and half had expenditures for

yearend and other special bonuses (table 7). On the other hand, some penalty

pay was nearly universal, with almost all units paying overtime and close to

half paying shift differentials (table 8).

Because of their limited occurrence, savings and thrift plans involved

only a minor average expenditure for all reporting units— 0. 3 percent. The average outlay in all units with expenditures was 2. 5 percent, ranging from 2. 1 percent in manufacturing industry units with 250—999 employees to 3.4 percent in

nonmanufacturing industry units with 1,000 employees or more. Expenditures

for yearend and other special bonuses averaged 2. 3 percent for all units and

4. 6 percent in units actually having such payments. Interestingly, expenditures

for supplements were greater in units with 1,000 employees or more as a general

rule, but bonus payments showed a reverse pattern, being greater in the smaller

units.9 Total penalty pay, 3.2 percent for all units, consisted predominantly of

overtime pay. Shift differentials added only 0.2 percent to the expenditures.

9 A BLS stud/ o f production workers in manufacturing industries found higher bonus expenditures in establishments 

with under 100 employees than in units with either 100-499 employees or 500 employees or more. See Employer 

Expenditures for Selected Supplementary Compensation Practices for Production and Related Workers; Composition of 

Payroll Hours: Manufacturing Industries, 1962 (BLS Bulletin 1428, 1965), p. 76.

Even in units with shift payments, these premiums amounted to only 0.4 percent.

Total overtime pay of 3 percent for all units consisted of overtime paid at straighttime rates, 2. 1 percent, and overtime paid at premium rates, 0. 9 percent. The

relationship between overtime at straight-time and premium rates clearly reflects

the influence of the practice of paying nonexempt employees time and one-half for

overtime work. 10

Expenditures for savings and thrift plans, bonuses, and penalty pay varied

considerably among the units making these outlays. Particularly striking is the

diversity of bonus payments. Seventy-seven units reported expenditures under

1 percent, while 17 reported expenditures of 15 percent and over. Variations

in expenditures for savings and thrift plans and bonuses are the result of considerable differences among company plans. On the other hand, differences in

the level of company expenditures for premium pay are mainly a function of variations in the volume of overtime work.

Contributory and Noncontributory Private Welfare Plans. Important insights into the operation of private welfare plans can be gained by examining the

relative frequency of noncontributory and contributory plans and by contrasting

expenditure patterns under these two types of plans. One-fourth of the units

reporting health, accident, and life insurance plans paid the full cost of the plans;

employees in three-fourths of the units paid part of the cost of one or more of

these plans (table 9). Frequently, employers paid the total cost of some plans

and shared the cost of others with the employees. Therefore, the relative frequency of noncontributory arrangements was greater for life insurance, accidental

death and dismemberment insurance, and death benefits; and for hospitalization,

surgical, and medical plans, and sickness and accident insurance individually

than for total health, accident, and life insurance. Nevertheless, even for the

two components separately, less than half of the reporting units paid the full cost.

In contrast to the findings for health, accident, and life insurance, private pension plans did not involve employee contributions in 3 out of 5 units with plans. 11

The employer's share of the total cost was over half in 4 of 5 units with

both employer and employee contributions for pension and retirement benefits.

Similarly, about two-thirds of the employers with contributory arrangements paid

over half the cost of hospitalization, surgical, and medical plans, and sickness

and accident insurance. On the other hand, quite frequently employers contributed a smaller share of the cost of life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and death benefits— 2 out of 5 employers with contributory plans paid over 25 through 50 percent of the cost.

The relation between employer expenditures under noncontributory and

contributory plans is interesting. In the case of health, accident, and life insurance, employer expenditures were higher under noncontributory than contributory plans— 3. 1 as compared to 2.4 percent. This relationship was also found in

separate tabulations for life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and death benefits; and for hospitalization, surgical, and medical plans, and

sickness and accident insurance. On the other hand, no clear difference was

10 For purposes o f this stud/, overtime at premium rates was defined as that part o f total overtime pay which 

was above regular straight-time pay, e. g ., the half time o f time and on e-h all The straight-time portion of total 

overtime pay was tabulated as overtime at straight-time rates.

11 A 1965 study by the Bureau o f Labor Statistics of about 15,000 single-employer private pension plans found 

that 7 out o f 10 plans covering salaried employees were noncontributory. See The Older American Worker; Age Discrimination in Employment. Report o f the Secretary o f Labor to the Congress Under Section 715 o f the Civil Rights 

Act of 1964, Research Materials (June 1965), p. 28. Additional information on the relative importance o f contributory and noncontributory health, insurance, and pension plans is found in Health and Insurance Benefits and Pension 

Plans for Salaried Employees. Spring 1963 (BLS Bulletin 1405, 1964); and Part II of BLS Bulletin 1345-83, cited

found for pension and retirement plans for which employer expenditures were

higher under contributory plans in reporting units with 250—999 employees (5. 8 as

compared to 5. 1 percent) and higher under noncontributory plans in the larger

units (5. 6 versus 4. 9 percent). Although not conclusive evidence, these findings

suggest that employee contributions for health, accident, and life insurance tend

to defray part of the cost of a fixed benefit package, whereas worker contributions for retirement programs frequently purchase additional benefits. With but

a single exception (hospitalization, surgical, and medical plans, and sickness

and accident insurance in nonmanufacturing industry units with 250—999 employees), in each of the industry-size groups average employer expenditures consistently rose for each of the benefits studied as the employer's share of the

total expenditure under contributory plans increased.

Employee Contributions. While the emphasis in the study was on employer expenditures, data were collected also on employee payments under contributory private welfare plans. The average employee contribution in units with

contributory health, accident, and life insurance was 1. 3 percent of basic salaries.

The figure for pension and retirement plans was 2 percent (table 10). In both

of these cases, there was relatively little variation among industry-size groups,

and relatively few units reported employee contributions of 3 percent and over.

Moreover, in both cases, the average employee contribution was less than the

corresponding average employer expenditure under contributory plans.

Expenditures for Individual Employee Groups

In order to compare expenditures for individual employee groups, employers' payroll expenditures were collected separately for nonexempt nonproduction employees; exempt employees, excluding upper management; and upper management employees. 12 Since employers often do not keep records on expenditures

for legally required insurance and private welfare plans separately for individual

groups of white-collar employees, it was not possible to collect data on these

expenditure items by employee group. For some types of private plans, the

Internal Revenue Code provisions encourage employers to establish single plans

for all nonproduction employees. Nevertheless, some information was obtained on

expenditures for special private welfare plans for upper management employees.

Nonexempt Nonproduction Employees. Nonexempt employees in each of

the reporting units received pay for one or more types of leave time. All of

the units paid for vacations and all but one paid for holidays. Pay for sick leave

and miscellaneous leave, although not quite as common, occurred in the vast

majority of the units, the fQrmer being found in 94 percent of the units and the

latter in 86 percent (table 11).

On the average, total paid leave accounted for 9# 6 percent of the nonexempt employees' basic salaries. Thus, only nine-tenths of the employees'

regular pay was for work performed and time not worked but spent at the workplace, e.g., coffee breaks. None of the units reporting expenditures spent less

than 3 percent for paid leave, and four of them spent 15 percent or more (chart 4).

Vacations accounted for nearly half of all leave expenditures— 4. 5 percent. Average expenditures for holiday pay were 3 percent. Sick leave and miscellaneous

leave entailed lower outlays— 1.7 and 0.4 percent, respectively, for all reporting units. For each of the types of paid leave, units with 250—999 employees

spent, on the average, less than the larger units; however, except for vacations (4. 1 against 4. 7 percent) the differences between the two groups were minor.

Percentage differences between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries,

likewise, were minimal.

12 Some units could not provide information in this detail. Therefore, the number of units shown in the allemployee tables differs from that included in the tables for individual employee groups.

In nearly all of the reporting units, the nonexempt group's pay included 

additions to regular salary. The m ost frequent addition was overtim e pay, found 

in over 95 percent of the units. Two out of five units made payments for shift 

differentials, and the same proportion gave severance or dism issal pay. Over 

a third of the units paid bonuses, and close to a fourth made still other payments— 

incentive awards, retroactive pay, etc. (table 12).

Expenditures for these additions to the basic salaries of nonexempt w orkers averaged 7. 1 percent for all units and 7. 2 percent in units with expenditures. 

Overtime pay was clearly the dominant component, averaging 5. 6 and 5. 8 p ercent, respectively. These averages hide the considerable variation in overtim e 

expenditures; 31 units reporting expenditures spent under 1 percent and 25 spent 

15 percent or m ore. On an all-reporting-unit basis, total overtim e pay was d ivided into overtim e at straight-tim e rates— 3. 8 percent— and overtim e at premium 

rates— 1.9 percent. Average total overtim e in manufacturing— 6.4 percent— 

was considerably higher than the corresponding figure in nonmanufacturing— 

4. 1 percent. Average bonus expenditures— 1. 1 percent for all units and 3. 1 p ercent in units with expenditures— were important. On the other hand, shift differentials, severance or dism issal pay, and other pay contributed only m inor 

percent additions to average em ployer payrolls.

A ll Exempt Em ployees. The findings on leave payments to exempt 

em ployees closely parallel those concerning nonexempt em ployees, both as to 

frequency of occurrence and rate of expenditure (table 13 and chart 5). The 

m ost noticeable difference was in vacation pay, for which em ployers paid on 

the average greater amounts to exempt em ployees— 5. 3 percent com pared with 

4. 5 percent for nonexempt w orkers.

Payroll expenditures in addition to basic salaries occurred less often 

for exempt em ployees, mainly because of the frequent absence of overtim e payments to em ployees exempt from the overtim e provisions of the Fair Labor 

Standards A ct. N evertheless, over four-fifths of the reporting units did add to 

the basic salaries of exempt em ployees (table 14). Nearly two-fifths paid ov e rtim e, a fifth paid shift prem ium s, a third severance or dism issal pay, nearly 

half bonuses, and alm ost a fourth other pay. Mainly because of lower overtim e 

payments— 1 percent for all units and 2. 8 percent in units with expenditures— 

total expenditures for additions to exempt em ployees' basic salaries were lower 

than in the case of nonexempt em ployees— 4. 9 percent for all units and 5. 8 p ercent in units with expenditures. Overtime pay for exempt em ployees, it may be 

observed, consisted prim arily of payments at straight-tim e rates; premium pay 

was relatively m inor. However, bonus pay— at 3.4 percent for all units and 

7 percent in units with expenditures— was higher than for nonexempt em ployees.

Upper Management Em ployees. All units with upper management em ­

ployees paid for vacations and holidays. However, only 85 percent actually paid 

sick leave and 75 percent, m iscellaneous leave. For the latter two types of 

leave, the relative frequency of payments was less for upper management em ­

ployees than for either nonexempt or all exempt em ployees. Leave payments to 

upper management em ployees averaged 10. 2 percent, higher than for either nonexempt or all exempt em ployees. The m ajor item , vacations, entailed expenditures of 5 .8 percent (table 15).

Payroll additions to the basic salaries of upper management employees 

were made too infrequently to warrant tabular presentation for m ost of the item s. 

Overtime pay was reported in only 10 of 436 units and shift differentials even 

less frequently. Severance or dism issal pay was found in close to a fifth of the

units and other pay in a tenth. However, bonuses were paid more frequently, in

over 2 of 5 units, and occasioned high average expenditures— 6. 6 percent for all

units and 14. 9 percent in units with expenditures. In fact, 52 of the 15 7 units

reporting bonus expenditures showed payments of 15 percent or more (table 16).

It is known that some companies have separate private welfare plans for

upper management employees. Some of these plans supplement plans having wider

coverage, which also include upper management employees. In other instances,

the upper management group is covered solely by special plans and not by plans

applying to lower level employees. Some information on this point was obtained

in the survey. Of the units with upper management employees, 76 reported expenditures for separate health, accident, and life insurance plans for upper management, averaging 2 percent. Fifty-eight reported expenditures for separate

pension and retirement plans, averaging 6. 2 percent. However, it was not determined to what extent these plans supplemented plans having broader employee

coverage or were substitutes for the broader plans. 13 *

* Payroll data for upper management employees are included in the figures for all exempt employees. Similarly,

the data on separate private welfare plans are included in the all-employee figures.

14 Information is not shown on an all-em ployee level. Figures for all employees combined are difficult to 

interpret and evaluate where practices differ among the individual employee groups.

15 Where practices varied, companies were instructed to report the practice applying to the largest number of

workers in an employee group.

The periods o f service for which data are presented were selected as representative o f the most common

practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual company provisions for progression. For example, the changes

in proportions indicated at 5 years of service may include changes which occurred after 4 years.

The combined effect of employers* vacation plans and individual employees* lengths of service is seen in figures on the actual amount of vacation time

(or pay) received by workers. (See chart 7 and tables 20—22.) In over half the

reporting units, a majority of the nonexempt employees received between 2 and

3 weeks of vacation. Three-week or longer vacations were received by a majority

of these employees in only a tenth of the units. Vacations tended to be longer

for exempt employees, excluding upper management; over tyvo-fifths of the units

gave 3-week or longer vacations to a majority of these employees. As one would

expect, largely because of their generally greater length of service, upper management employees received the most liberal vacations, nearly 3 out of 4 units

granting half the employees 3-week or longer vacations and one-third granting

4 weeks and over.

Holidays. Paid holidays were reported in all but one of the units. 17 The

most common number of holidays was 7 or 8, although some units had under 5,

and others 13 and over (table 23). With few exceptions, companies maintained

a single holiday schedule for all white-collar employees. Thus, the distributions

of reporting units by number of holidays were quite similar for each employee

group. On the other hand, differences appeared between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries; both above- and below-average number of holidays were

relatively more frequent in the latter.

Formal Sick Leave. Close to three-fourths of the reporting units had

formal sick leave plans for nonexempt employees (table 24). Such plans were less

prevalent for each of the exempt employee categories, being found in two-thirds

of the units. However, it does not follow that nonexempt employees were treated

more generously. A number of companies without formal plans continued to pay

the salary of employees out of work because of illness. It is quite likely that such

informal salary continuation plans were more common for exempt employees. 18

Sickness and accident insurance is a second method for continuing employee income during periods of illness. For this reason, tabulations were prepared relating the presence of formal sick leave plans and sickness and accident

insurance. It is noteworthy that less than half of the units without formal sick

leave had sickness and accident insurance, the percents being 47 for nonexempt

workers and 43 for each of the exempt employee categories. One out of 6 or

1 out of 7 reporting units (depending upon employee group) had neither benefit.

Furthermore, sickness and accident insurance was relatively more common in

units which also had formal sick leave plans. This does not mean employees

often received duplicate benefits. Companies with both sick leave and sickness

and accident insurance commonly either utilize the former to compensate workers

during short absences and the latter to provide earnings during long-term illnesses, or integrate cash payments under the two programs so that employees

do not receive more than their regular salaries. 19

Miscellaneous Leave. Employers commonly paid workers for leave due

to civic responsibilities, such as military, jury, witness, 20 and voting leave. A

majority of the reporting units paid for each of these types of leave, relatively

more often for exempt employees (table 25). Well over half the units paid exempt

employees for leave taken for one or more other types of civic responsibility,

e. g ., meetings of civic organizations, but such leave was provided nonexempt

17 This unit did not have upper management employees. All units reporting for these employees had paid 

holidays.

18 Although information collected on sick leave practices was limited to formal plans, data collected on sick 

leave expenditures included employer outlays under both formal and informal plans.

19 See BLS Bulletin 1405, cited in footnote 11, pp. 3 and 4.

20 Company payments to an employee appearing in court as a witness for the company were not considered 

leave payments.

employees in only 45 percent of the units. Of the four leave types analyzed separately (military, jury, witness, and voting leave), paid leave for jury duty occurred most frequently and voting leave least often. However, it must be remembered that some companies gave Election Day as a paid holiday and thus had

no need to give voting leave on this day. 21

A great majority of the reporting units granted paid leave for family

emergencies and death in the family. Over half also gave leave for one or more

other personal reasons. As with leave for civic responsibilities, personal leave

was relatively more common for exempt employees (table 26).

Length of the Workweek

Close to four-fifths of the reporting units were on a 40-hour straight-time

workweek. Longer workweeks were infrequently reported. Workweeks under

40 hours were found in one-fifth of the units, the most common such workweek

being 37 V2 hours (table 27). For each employee group, the 40-hour week was

relatively more common in manufacturing industries, while shorter workweeks

were reported relatively more often in nonmanufacturing industries.

Penalty Pay Practices

Overtime Work. With only two exceptions, all units reported paying

nonexempt employees extra money—usually time and one-half— for overtime work.

(See chart 8 and table 28.) Overtime payments were considerably less common

for exempt employees, excluding upper management, occurring in about a third

of the units. The most frequently reported overtime rate for these employees

was straight-time. Upper management employees rarely received overtime pay. 22

Compensatory time off for overtime work was more common for exempt

employees than for nonexempt employees. However, even in the former case,

it was reported in only a small minority of the units. With respect to exempt

employees, a majority of both the units granting compensatory time off and those

not granting such time off did not pay overtime. Nevertheless, overtime pay was

relatively more frequent in units granting compensatory time off (table 29)• It

should be borne in mind that, in establishments with the two practices, employees

working overtime did not necessarily receive both overtime pay and compensatory

time off, although this might have occurred. In some instances, employees received either of the benefits, and in other cases, each benefit applied to a different

group of workers, e.g., first-line supervisors received overtime pay while other

exempt employees, excluding upper management, received compensatory time off.

Holiday Work. Over four-fifths of the reporting units paid nonexempt

employees extra money for work on paid holidays. Such payments were considerably less frequent for exempt employees, excluding upper management, occurring

in a fifth of the units, and were rare for upper management employees (table 30).

Actually, these figures tend to understate the prevalence of extra pay for holiday

work, since a number of the units without extra-pay practices probably did not

work on holidays and thus had no need for a pay practice. The survey did not

determine the number of units without extra-pay practices which had employees

working on paid holidays. The most common pay rates (although neither existed

in a majority of the units) were time and one-half (plus holiday pay as such) for

nonexempt employees and straight-time for exempt employees.

21 A number o f States have laws providing paid time off for voting. Such time off commonly is permitted 

only if there is insufficient time outside working hours during which an employee may vote. See Time Off For 

Voting Under State Laws (Bureau o f Labor Standards, Bulletin 138, 1964 Revision). Some units in States with these 

laws reported no policy o f granting paid voting leave. Apparently, employees in these units had sufficient time to 

vote outside working hours.

22 Tabulations on overtime pay do not include supper money and related payments.

A minority of the units reported they granted compensatory time off for

holiday work. The practice was most common for exempt employees, excluding

upper management, but even here was found in less than 1 out of 5 units. With

respect to exempt employees, the bulk of the units granting compensatory time

off did not give extra pay for holiday work. Conversely, a majority of the units

with compensatory time off for nonexempt workers also granted holiday pay to

this employee group.

Shift Differentials. Close to half the reporting units had premium pay

practices for nightwork performed by nonexempt employees. Of course, almost

4 out of 5 without shift differentials did not have nonexempt nonproduction employees working night shifts, and hence had no need for the practice. Premiums

for nightwork were considerably less common for exempt employees, particularly

upper management (table 32). Employers most frequently paid shift differentials

as cents-per-hour (or other amounts per time unit, e. g ., dollars per week or

month) additions to day rates, although percent additions also were common

(table 33). Cents-per-hour (or the equivalent) additions to day rates tended to

cluster between 7.5 cents and 15 cents for second-shift work (table 34) and between 10 and 17.5 cents for third-shift work (table 35). Percent additions most

often were between 10 and 12.5 percent for the second and third shifts (tables

36 and 37). 23

Coverage of Practices. In a great majority of the cases, each of the

premium pay and compensatory time off practices applied to all nonexempt employees, although for each practice there were some units which limited coverage

to only a part of the employee group (table 38). Limited coverage for nonexempt

employees was most common with respect to shift differentials; 1 out of 6 units

with this practice did not extend it to all employees. For example, some units

paid shift differentials only to employees in data processing operations. (It is

possible that some units developed practices only for the types of employees actually working at night.)

Regarding exempt employees, excluding upper management, a majority

of the reporting units with compensatory time off practices applied them to all

such employees. Conversely, most units limited the coverage of premium pay

practices. A number of the units restricted premium pay either to first-line

supervisors or to employees below a specified salary level. Units providing

compensatory time off to upper management employees generally extended the

benefit to all such employees. Too few units had premium pay practices for upper

management employees to permit generalization about coverage of the plans.

Private Welfare Plans

Reporting units generally had a variety of private welfare benefits. The

great majority provided the following, either on a contributory or noncontributory

basis: Life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, or death

benefits; hospitalization, medical, or surgical benefits (excluding major medical

benefits); and private pension or retirement benefits (table 39). Major medical

benefits were less common, but were found in over three-fifths of the units. Just

over half the reporting units provided sickness and accident insurance for nonexempt employees; however, slightly less than half extended this benefit to exempt employees, who probably were more frequently covered by more liberal

sick-leave practices.

23 A BLS study o l shift differentials for production and related workers in manufacturing industries in 1962 found 

that cents-per-hour premiums commonly ranged between 5 and 11 cents for the second shift and between 5 and 13 cents 

for the third shift. Percent differentials most frequently were 5 or 10 percent for the second shift and 10 percent for 

the third shift. See article by Arnold Strasser, "Provisions for Late Shifts in Manufacturing Industries," Monthly Labor 

Review. May 1965, pp. 511-516.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
In many instances, employers granted these benefits to retired employees

and workers* dependents. Thus, most of the reporting units continued employees*

life insurance (although not necessarily in the same amount) after retirement, although only a small minority provided this benefit for dependents of current employees. Current employees* dependents generally were covered by health benefits,

but retired employees and their dependents were covered in only a minority of

the units.

At times, employers limited the coverage of private welfare plans, for

example, to employees with a minimum length of service or age. Nevertheless,

most plans covered 90 percent of the employees in a group or more. On a proportionate basis, the lowest coverage applied to pension or retirement plans for nonexempt employees, where about one-fourth of the plans covered less than 90 percent of the employees. (See chart 9 and tables 39—44.)

Miscellaneous Practices

Over two-fifths of the units reported a practice of paying nonexempt

employees for travel time on company business outside of regular working hours.

However, exempt employees rarely received such payments (table 45). As with

several practices already discussed, it must be remembered that many companies

did not have a pay practice since employees did not travel on company business.

Conversely, some firms reported a pay practice for nonexempt employees because

of requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act, although actual payments

were not made since the circumstance did not arise.

Over seven-tenths of the reporting units had plans covering reimbursement of exempt employees for moving expenses caused by job changes within the

company but slightly under half the units had such plans for nonexempt employees.

Here too, many companies did not have plans because there were no occasions for

their use. In addition to paying direct moving expenses, a number of companies

financed the costs of househunting trips, temporary quarters, and subsistence.

Other company payments, although found less frequently, were for incidental expenses, storage of furniture, reimbursement for losses in the sale of real estate,

brokers* commissions, and other payments relating to the purchase or sale of

real estate.

Pay for travel and transportation to the first job occurred less frequently

than moving expense reimbursement, and only for upper management employees

was it a practice in a majority of the reporting units. It may well be that many

units did not have the practice because local people were hired, particularly at

lower levels.

Variations Among Employee Groups

Frequently, companies having a given type of benefit extended it to employees in each of the three nonproduction worker groups, although not necessarily

in precisely the same manner. (See chart 10 and table 46.) This was particularly

evident with respect to paid leave items and private welfare plans. In sharp contrast, premium pay often was granted to only a single employee group— nonexempt

employees.

Vacations and holidays, both of which were provided to employees in all

three groups by each reporting unit with employees in all three groups, were examined in greater detail. Nearly 3 out of 4 units had a uniform vacation schedule

for the three groups and practically all units granted the same holidays to the

three groups (table 47). There was a greater tendency for uniform vacation

schedules in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing industries.

However, a number of the reports did not provide information for each item or employee group. In some instances, it was possible for Bureau personnel to make reasonable

estimates of missing items. For example, estimates were made of holiday pay expenditures

if information was available on number of paid holidays, employment, and average hourly

earnings. Estimates of this type were based upon the same techniques which many respondents themselves used in arriving at expenditure figures.

Tabulating Procedures

Considering the size and nature of the response, it was not possible to weight reports obtained to statistically represent the universe from which a sample was selected.

Consequently, tabulations pertain only to the specific units which furnished data. In preparing these tabulations, equal weight was given to each report, regardless of industry,

size, or location. Nevertheless, size had some influence because more large units (those

with 1, 000 employees or more) were included than small ones (those with 250—999 employees).

Also, a greater number of reports were obtained from manufacturing industries than from

nonmanufacturing industries.

The first step in summarizing expenditures for each supplementary compensation

item or group of items was to express the expenditure in a given reporting unit as a percent of that unit’s expenditures for basic salaries. The average expenditure for an item

(in percentage terms) was then obtained by computing a simple average of the percents in

each of the reporting units.

Two sets of averages were derived. One was limited to units with expenditures for

an item, and was obtained by averaging the percents in units reporting a dollar expenditure

figure for the item under study. The second set of averages included units which had no

expenditures for the item, and in computing these averages such units were treated as having

zero expenditures. Some units reported they had expenditures for an item, but did not

show the dollar amount. These reports were excluded from the first set of averages. However, they were included in the second to avoid biasing the result, and they were included

on the assumption they had outlays as percents of basic salaries equal to the average in

units reporting the amount of expenditures. The number of units for which such an assumption was made is shown in the detail tables.

In computing average outlays for groups of items, the only reports used were those

containing dollar amounts (or stating there were no expenditures) for all components. Reports giving data for only some of the components were used in computing averages for those

items, but not the group total. Therefore, expenditures included in deriving averages for

individual items may not have been used in computing averages for groups of items. As a

result, the sum of the averages presented for the components need not equal the group total,

although normally the difference is slight. Apart from this factor, averages derived for

reporting units with expenditures are not additive since the averages may be based upon different groups of reports.

As previously described, many— but not all— of the reports received from multiunit companies were for either divisions or the entire firm instead of for those individual

establishments which were included in the sample. Such discrepancies were ignored in the

tabulations. Each completed questionnaire was utilized without regard to its coverage. For

this reason, the analysis is in terms of reporting units, rather than establishments or

companies.

A number of the reports received were not complete for all items or employee

groups. As a result, the number of reporting units varies by item and employee group.

Moreover, although all reporting units had nonexempt employees and exempt employees, excluding upper management, not all units had upper management employees.

Expenditures for supplementary compensation items were tabulated as percents of

basic salaries in order to permit meaningful comparisons among reporting units. Obviously,

simple comparisons of reporting units' absolute expenditures for supplementary compensation

could be misleading in view of the units’ differing sizes and payrolls. However, expenditures expressed as a percent of basic salaries also may be misinterpreted. Some types of

supplementary compensation— such as pay for vacations, holidays, sick leave, and m iscellaneous leave— are parts of white-collar employees' basic salaries, while other supplements— such as expenditures for hospitalization insurance and pensions— are in addition to

http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ 

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
88

payments for basic salaries. Therefore, not all of the figures shown represent, in percent terms, components of basic salaries, and not all represent percent additions to such

salaries. This point is particularly relevant to a percent figure on expenditures for all

supplements combined.

Employee Coverage

This survey was designed to develop information for nonproduction employees only.

Part-time and casual employees were excluded unless they were covered by the same supplementary compensation practices as regular full-time employees in the reporting unit.

This exclusion was made because the Federal Government's practices for white-collar employees differentiate between the two groups.

During the early stages of survey planning, there was thought of obtaining data separately by job classification, as is commonly done in salary surveys, in order to compare

expenditures and practices for individual jobs. However, it soon became evident that employers do not keep records in this detail. Data were therefore collected separately for

three groups: Nonexempt employees; exempt employees, excluding upper management; and

upper management employees. Because accounting records generally are not maintained

even in this detail for legally required insurance and private welfare plan items, only allwhite-collar-employee expenditures were collected for these items, except for figures on

separate private welfare plans for upper management employees.

The terms "nonexempt" and "exempt" employees pertain to coverage under the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the former employees being subject to

the overtime provisions and the latter excluded. This basis for classification was adopted

since employers frequently maintain separate payrolls for these two groups. Upper management employees were defined as those high-level workers (but under the senior officer level)

who were treated separately for compensation purposes or, if there was no such differentiation, were earning $20,000 or more per year, including cash bonuses.28 As thus defined,

the groups essentially covered, respectively, nonsupervisory workers, lower and middle

management, and upper level employees. They blanketed the broad spectrum of grade levels

in the Federal civil service.

Because a number of companies were unable to report expenditure data separately

for the two groups of exempt employees, the tabulations of employer outlays were for all

exempt employees combined, with a separate presentation of reported data for upper management employees alone. However, practice data are shown separately for the two exempt

employee groups.

Practices Studied

The expenditure data presented in this bulletin relate to selected practices involving

payments either directly to employees or their dependents or to funds, insurance companies,

or governmental units. Collection of data was limited to practices that were both measurable and common in private industry generally. For example, although paid rest periods

are common, the practice is largely informal and detailed records often are not maintained.

Consequently, measurement difficulties made it impractical to include this item in the survey. Despite this limitation, the practices studied are believed to constitute the major

elements of supplementary compensation in private industry. Nevertheless, it must be recognized that items not surveyed may be important in some individual companies.

The outlays reported in this study do not constitute measures of employer costs

occasioned by granting supplementary compensation benefits. For example, expenditures

shown for vacations are limited to direct payments to employees for vacation periods. Possible costs of hiring replacements are not included, nor is any consideration given to the

possible effects of vacations on employee productivity. , Similarly, sick leave entails payments to employees, but not costs to the extent that employees make up their work upon

return to the job.

28 The intent of this definition was to obtain data for private-industry employees comparable to Federal employees at grades 

GS-16, 17, and 18. A more precise definition of upper management employees would have been preferred, but one still having 

general applicability could not be developed.

For the most part, practice questions were limited to the types of items for which

expenditure data were requested. However, information was obtained on practices concerning moving expense reimbursement and pay for travel and transportation to the first job

since, while such payments are not part of compensation, they bear upon it.

Definition of Terms

Terms used in this survey were defined in the explanation booklet given to respondents and reproduced in appendix C. Several definitional matters warrant special consideration at this point.

"Basic salaries" consist of the normal payments for hours during the regular

straight-time workweek, including continuation of salary during paid leave periods. This

definition is in accordance with the concept of salary in Federal Service and thus provides

a common denominator for comparisons between expenditures in private industry and the

Federal Government.

Plans for health, accident, and life insurance and private pensions were classified

as being either "contributory" or "noncontributory" depending upon whether employees paid

part of the cost of the plans.29 Although no specific question was asked as to whether plans

in effect were contributory or noncontributory, this information could be ascertained since

employer and employee payments were requested separately.30

In part to simplify reporting by respondents, expenditure items were classified as

either "payroll expenditures" or "expenditures in addition to payroll. " The former consists

of direct payments to employees and the latter mainly of payments to funds, insurance companies, and governmental units. Classification was based upon the usual manner of paying

for the items studied. However, this scheme was not always accurate. For example, since,

for the employees studied, severance pay is usually given directly to employees, this item

was classified as a payroll expense. Nevertheless, there are some funded severance pay

arrangements. Respondents were instructed to report their expenditures on the appropriate

lines of the questionnaire, even if there resulted an incorrect classification of items as payroll outlays or expenditures in addition to payroll. For the most part, the errors are minor.

29 Plans paid for entirely by employees, except possibly for employer payments of administrative costs, were excluded from

the study.

30 Units showing plans but no expenditures in 1963 are included in table 9, Selected Contributory and Noncontributory Private 

Welfare Plans, as having expenditures of zero percent. There was 1 such unit for total health, accident, and life insurance; 7 for life 

insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and death benefits; 6 for hospitalization, surgical, and medical plans and 

sickness and accident insurance; and 16 for pension and retirement plans.

Appendix B. Comparison of Employer Expenditures for Supplementary 

Compensation in Private Industries and the Federal Government

The table on the next page compares the findings of this study with expenditures

by the Federal Government in the year ending June 30, 1963. It is limited to a comparison

of employer expenditures, and does not take into account employees* contributions to their

benefits. Furthermore, the table does not portray the specific kinds of practices financed

nor, for nonpayroll items, the level of benefits supported by the expenditures. Comments

on specific items follow.

This table does not compare expenditures for penalty pay, since variations in expenditures are mainly the result of differences in the volume of overtime or nightwork,

rather than differences in pay practices.

Vacations

The Federal Government does not have a vacation practice as such. Instead, it

provides to employees set amounts of annual leave, covering both vacations and time off for

personal reasons. The figure shown for the Federal Government is its total payment for

annual leave and thus includes expenditures for personal leave, which are reported, for

private industries, as a part of miscellaneous paid leave.

Miscellaneous Paid Leave

The figure for private industries includes paid personal leave and compensatory

leave in lieu of overtime pay (to the extent such leave exceeded the number of overtime

hours worked). Neither of these items is included in the figure for the Federal Government.

Coffee breaks and washup time or get-ready time are excluded from both the private industry

and Federal Government data.

Retirement Programs

Expenditures for retirement programs are greatly influenced by methods of financing

used as well as by the benefit formulas. The figures shown do not contrast accruing costs.

Sick Leave

In private enterprise, continuation of income during illness is sometimes provided

by plans other than for sick leave, e. g., sickness and accident insurance.

The data given on the next page on Federal expenditures were provided by the Bureau

of the Budget and the Civil Service Commission. The items shown are defined here in the

same way as in this report.

NOTE: For the Federal Government, because o f rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Because o f the method 

used in deriving the percents for private industries, the figures are not additive. Nevertheless, to permit a comparison of expenditures for all supplements combined, a grand total for private industries was obtained by adding the percents for individual items or groups 

o f items.

Holidays

Report the number of holidays per person observed in 1963. Do not con sider as a half-day 

holiday tim e off less than a full half day.

Straight-Tim e Workweek

Report for the largest group of em ployees in each category the num ber of hours per week 

per em ployee in the straight-tim e workweek. This need not be the hours actually worked.

Sick Leave

C onsider as a sick leave plan one w hereby the com pany pays d irectly, in whole or in part, 

salaries to em ployees who are away from work because of illn ess or injury, other than 

legally required w orkm en's com pensation. Inform al arrangem ents for such payments should 

be answ ered "No. " An insurance p olicy providing cash payments to ill em ployees should 

not be considered as sick leave, but should be reported under "Insurance and P ension s" 

(Item X -A -4 ). Answ er "Y e s " for a particular em ployee group if there was a plan applying 

to any em ployees in that group (the plan need not apply to all or a m ajority o f the em ployees).

M iscellaneous Leave

In these questions, answer "Y e s " if there was a com pany p olicy of granting paid leave of the 

types listed, even if no actual paid leave was granted in 1963 because the circu m stances 

causing such leave did not a rise. A nsw er "Y e s " for a particular em ployee group if there 

was a p olicy applying to any em ployees in the group (the p olicy need not apply to all or a 

m ajority of the em ployees).

Company Plans for Insurance and Pensions

In this section, a question should be answered "Y e s" only if there was a plan involving co m ­

pany expenditures for benefits. If the com pany's role was lim ited to collectin g prem ium s 

from em ployees and turning the funds collected over to an insurance ca rrie r, the appropriate 

question should be answered "N o. " If a com pany provided benefits for em ployees but the 

em ployees paid the full cost of dependents' benefits, the appropriate question should be answ ered "Y e s" for em ployees and "N o" for dependents. If a com pany had no expenditures 

in 1963 for a benefit because dividends or other credits exceeded prem ium s or because 

there was no occasion to make payments under a self-in su red plan, answer "Y e s " for that 

benefit. A nsw er "Y e s " for a particular em ployee group if there was a plan applying to any 

em ployees in the group (the plan need not apply to all or a m ajority o f the em ployees).

C overage of Insurance and Pension Plans

F or purposes of these questions, for insured plans and for those financed by other funding 

arrangem ents, con sider as "co v e re d " em ployees those for whom the com pany was making 

payments. Thus, an em ployee would be "co v e re d " by a pension plan if the company was 

making payments fo r his pension benefits, even if he was not currently eligible to receive 

the benefits because he had not reached retirem ent age or had not sufficient length o f s e r v ­

ice . E m ployees not covered would be those for whom the com pany was not making payments 

because of such factors as age or len g th -of-serv ice requirem ents for coverage and failure to 

make em ployee contributions under contributory plans. F or plans financed on a p a y -a s-y o u - 

go basis, em ployees not covered would be those who would not currently or in the future 

be eligible for benefits.

Extra (Prem ium ) Pav and M iscellaneous P ra ctices

In each of these ite m s, answer "Y e s" or "N o" for each of the em ployee groups and, as r e ­

quested, provide inform ation on the nature of the company p ractice and the sp ecific em ployees 

covered by the p ractice.

Where applicable, answer "Y e s " if a com pany p olicy existed, even if the p olicy was not in ­

voked because the contingency did not a rise. A nsw er "Y e s " fo r a particular em ployee group 

if there was a p olicy applying to any em ployees in the group (the p olicy need not apply to 

all or a m ajority o f the em ployees).
