NEW RULING CONCERNING
WHITE COLLAR EMPLOYEES
Executives Must Earn $50 or More
Weekly to Be Exempt From Over
time Status

State Labor C o m m S 81 on +
Frank Crane today urged employ
ers using the Federal Wage-Hour
Laws overtime pay exemption for
their executive, administrative and
professional employees to check
now on the salaries being paid to
these employees.
"On Monday, February 2, new
overtime exemption requirements
went into effect" Crane stated.
Employers wishing to keep their
executive, administrative and pro-
fessional employees exempt from
the overtime pay requirement
should make sure these employ
ees are being paid enough to quail
ify them for the exemption.
Starting Feb. g." said Com
missioner Crane, "an executive
employee must be paid at least
$50 week or $346.67 month to
remain exempt from the time
and-a-half for overtime after 40
hours week requirement. The
old rate for executives was $55 a
week or $238.33 month
Administrative or professional
employees, starting Feb. 2, must
be paid at least $95 a week or
$411.69 month to remain exempt
from the overtime pay require
ment. The old rate for these en-
ployees was $75 a week or 1926
a month";"
Crane emphasized that unless
the new minimum salary sched-
ules are met starting Feb. 2, these
white-collar employees will auto
matically lose their overtime ex-
emption status under the Wage
Hour Law and their employers
will have to pay them one and
one-half times their regular rates
of pay for all time worked after
40 hours each work week.
The regulations also require
that the jobs of these employees
meet certain tests. regarding du-
ties and responsibilities, Crane
added. However, this part of the
regulations has not been changed.
Crane invited businessmen who
may be in doubt about how the
rules apply to their white-collar
employees to seek information
from the Wage and Hour Office
in the N. C. Department of Labor
at Raleigh.

SOCIAL SECURITY
BY ANNA X. RANKIN, \
Field Representative

Social security monthly benefits
like those long paid wives and
children of retired workers may
now for the first time, under the
1858 social security amendments,
be paid the dependents of disabled
workers who are receiving disa-
bility payments.
Disability insurance benefits
have been payable to severely dis
abled workers so to 65 years of
age since July 1857. These dis
ability insurance payments are
equal in amount to the monthly
old-age insurance benefit the
worker would receive if he were
already IS years old. Under the
new amendments, the disabled ben
efciary's dependents will also be
paid the same benefit they would
receive if he were 65 and receiv-
ing retirement benefit.
Payments can now be made to
the disabled benefciary's children
who are under age 10, or who
have been totally disabled since
before their 18th birthday; and
to his wife, regardless of her age,
if she has in her care a child eli
gible for these benefits. If there
is no eligible child in the family,
the wife of a disabled beneficiary
can qualify for benefits at age 62.
A dependent husband can qualify
at age 65.
The new dependents benefits, in
providing family members as well
as the worker himself the same
security against loss of earnings
in his disablement as in his old
age retirement, are a significant
extension of the basic concept of
protection of the family, through
social insurance, against common
economic hazards modern families
face.
The new payments to depend
ents of disabled beneficiaries are
first payable for the month of
September, 1858. Before the pay
ments can be made, applications
must be filed with your social Sc
curity district office.

First Of all. decide which OF the
two individual tax forms you are
going to use to report your in
come. II you choose the wrong
one, you may automatically cut
yourself OF from possible tax
savings.
The easiest way to file is to use
the simple 1040-A Form. It's a
card the size OF a check. on which
you answer a few simple ques-
tions and have the choice of
either computing your own tax
or letting the Government do it
for you.
You are permitted to use the
card form if your gross income
consisted only Of wages. divi.
dends or interest totaling less
than $4,000, and IL you did not
have more than 5000 of gross
income apart from that listed on
your VIZ withholding slips.
Facts to Consider
Before deciding to use the card
Form 1040-A, you should consider
these facts:
l. Your tax will be figured
from a table which allows you
a deduction of about 10 per cent
Of your income instead Of item
lied deductions for contributions,
taxes. interest paid. medical and
dental expenses, etc.
2. There is no provision in
this form for fling as the head
of household, as surviving
spouse" or for claiming special
credits for dividends and retire
ment income.
II you are sure that these two
points would not cost you any
tax savings, and your income is
within the limits for filing a
Form 1040-A, you might as well
use this simple card form.
Whether to Ifenize
When you elect to use the reg
ular Form l040. you still must
