Thomas w. Holland, Administrator
of the Wage and Hour Division, U.
S. Department of Labor, stated to-
day in response to inquiries. How
ever, proper Interpretation of the
Wage and Hour Law, he said, would
hold that workers required to
change clothes on the premises
would be considered working DUR
ing that time. For enforcement
purposes a tolerance of not more
than five minutes at the end of
each day will be allowed. This is
in view of the administrative diff
Ificulties of keeping accurate rec
ords of the few minutes required to
change clothes. Whether the work
clothes worn by the employees are
their own, or uniforms owned by
the employer, has no bearing, he
said.
