48-HOUR WEEK NOT
BOARDING HOUSE LAW

Boarding house operators who
have woman employees working more
|, than forty-eight hours week need
not pay extra for the time worked in
excess of that limit. In announcing
this amendment to the recent wage
order. the board made this statement:
"The board had no intention OF in
terfering with the working day Gus
tomary in boarding houses and siml :
lar establishments. 1t appears that
it's ruling made in connection with the
hotel and restaurant order tends to
have this effect. The board therefore
withdraws it's ruling that women
and minor girls employed for more
than forty-eight hours per week shail
be paid at not less than the rate OF
34k cents per hour for all time
worked in excess of forty-eight
hours The board holds that $l6.So
is the weekly minimum wage for
full working week. If less than forty
eight hours are worked the wage
shall be computed on the basis OF
34k cents per hour. This ruling Is
not to be understood as authorizing
the lengthening of the working day
which existed before the order went
into effect"
