Vacation Pay Close
To One-Half Million
(Continued from page one)
will, in most cases, be eligible for some
vacation pay.
Fieldcrest was one of the first tex
tile companies to provide paid vaca
tions for employees. The plan was start
ed in 1940 and vacation pay has been
issued each summer since that time.
During World War II when, because
of the need for production, the mills
ran continuously during the summer,
vacation pay was given as a bonus in
addition to the employees’ full time
earnings.
Two Weeks Of Extra Pay
Under the plan, employees with five
or more years of continuous service re
ceive 4% of their past year’s earnings,
the equivalent of about two weeks of ex
tra pay. Employees with one or more
years of service but less than five re
ceive 2% of their past year’s earnings,
or about one week of extra pay.
A large majority will receive vaca
tion pay at the 4% figure. The rec
ords show that the number receiving
the larger amount has been going up
each year.
This means that the Company has
been able to furnish steady employment
over the years and that an increasing
number of employees have chosen to
stay with Fieldcrest for long periods of
service.
