Only Few With Fixed Salaries

that that establishment will 60

The ruling holds first that the
Public Printer is a wage-fixing au-
thority under the terms of the
amendment and that the amend
ment applies to all employees
whose hours and annual pay are
fixed by him.
Weekly Overtime
No adjustment of pay is re-
quired, the ruling holds, except
that the annual rate disregarding
percentage reduction must not be
lower than that in effect June /.

The five-day week is held to
render the Saturday half holiday
now in effect imperative, but
there is no prohibition against
employing workers on Saturday
If it is required by the service.
The requirement is merely for a
40-hour, five-day week.
The eight-hour law is held not
to conflict with the Thomas
amendment. The amendment
fixes overtime on a weekly basis
rather than on a daily basis, how
ever, and, consequently, employees
may work more than eight hours
a day and not receive overtime
pay, unless they work more than
40 hours a week.
Time and A Half
BY the Thomas amendment
time and a half pay is allowed
for overtime. The ruling holds
that overtime payment does not
apply to employees on an annual
salary basis.
Supervisory officials will bene-
fit by the five-day, 40-hour week
as well as the rank and file OF
employees. Apparently the only
group excluded are certain en-
ployes, in the office of the SUI
perintendent of documents whose
pay is fixed by the classification
act.
The ruling holds that the effec-
tive date of the amendment was
the date of its passage, March

arrangement would become effec-
