3 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out o f a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.

State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees' share and the total contribution required.

Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contributemore than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New Y oik, employees can agree to contribute more i f the State mles that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided.

Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance .A ct) provides temporary disability insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether w oik-connected or not. The legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost o f the insurance.

4 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

1 T h e O m a h a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of M a n a g e m e n t and Budget through F e b r u a r y 1974, consists of Douglas and S arpy Counties, Nebr.; and Pottawattamie County, Iowa. T h e " w o r k e r s within scope of study" estimates s h o w n in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for c o m p a r i s o n with other e m p l o y m e n t indexes to m e a s u r e e m p l o y m e n t trends or levels since (1) planning of w a g e surveys requires establishment data c o m piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded f r o m the scope of the survey.

2 T h e 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification M a n u a l w a s used to classify establishments by industry division. Howe v e r , all g o v e r n m e n t operations are excluded f r o m the scope of the survey.

3 Includes all establishments with total e m p l o y m e n t at or above the m i n i m u m limitation. All outlets (within the area) of comp a n i e s in industries such as trade, finance, auto repair service, and moti o n picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.

4 Includes executive, professional, part-time, and other w o r k e r s excluded f r o m the separate plant and office categories.

5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A - and B-series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to w ater transportation are excluded. O m a h a ’s gas, electric utilities, and local-transit s y s t e m s are municipally operated and are excluded b y definition f r o m the scope of the study.

6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in theA - and B-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the following reasons: (1) E m p l o y m e n t is too small to provide enough data to m e rit separate study, (2) thes a m p l e w a s not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response w a s insufficient or inadequate to p e rmit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.

7 W o r k e r s f r o m this entire division are represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A-series tables, but f r o m the real estate portion only in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the B-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the reasons given in footnote 6.

8 Hotels a n d motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; m o tion pictures; nonprofit m e m b e r s h i p organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
