PAGE SIX v ■., ■ ceefioii out Minimum Wagre Law Goes In Effect Jan. 1 Continued tram riga 1. Section . stafitly for more than twenty years, first by former State (La bor Commissioner A. L. Fletcher and Forrest H. Shuford, and more recently by Commissioner Frank Crane. Many public and: private groups and individuals also had actively promoted the measure. The law will have a direct boosting effect upon the earn ings' of some 53,000 low-paid North Carolina workers. These people are employed mostly in the - local retail-trade and ser vice-industry businesses not cov ered by the Federal Wage and Hour Law. The Department of Labor esti mates that the required 75 cents minimum wage will increase the total annual earnings of this group by at least $16,500,000, or about S3OO per year on the av e-age for each worker affected by the law. The Attorney General has ruled that in determining wheth er the law applies to an em ployer, only covered workers may be counted. Thus, any workers, who are specifically ex empt from the law may not be counted in determining whether the employer is employing as many as six workers. Small employers who employ five or less workers are specific ally excluded from coverage by the minimum wage law. An es timated 11,000 retail trade and service-industry workers earning less than 75 cents an hour in small businesses are excluded from the law’s protection by this section the statute. The Attorney General has ruled that employees of state, county and municipal govern ments are not covered by the minimum wage law because thege governmental units do not medt the law’s definition of an employer. The most important exemp t:on in the law is that which ex cludes from coverage all em ployers of five or less workers. However, the statute lists many additional classes of workers I who are specifically exempt | from the 75-eent minimum, j These are: I.—Any person employed as a j farm laborer or farm employee. | 2. —Any person employed in j domestic service or in or about j a private home or in or about a public or private nursing home! fog the aged or infirm, or in or about all hospitals of every kind and character both public and private, or in an eleemosynary i institution primarily supported j by public funds. 3. —Any person engaged in the ; activities of an educational, char- i itable, religious or nonprofit or- j ganization where the relation-1 ship of employer-employee does not, in fact, exist, or where the, services rendered to such organ izations are on a voluntary j basis. 4. —Newsboys, shoe shine boys, | caddies on golf courses, baby sitters, ushers, doormen, con- j cession attendants and cashiers, in theatres, pin boys in bowling | alleys. 5. —Traveling salesmen or out- ! side salesmen working on a commission basis. 6. —Any person employed on a ! part-time basis 1 during the school year and who is a student a! any recognized school or college while so employed. 7. —Any person under the aee of 21 in the employ of his fath er or mother. 8. —Any person receiving tips or gratuities as the principal part of his wage. 9. —Any person confined in •' l/JaimHif (j) | ' | ijOtt 'illvi Q&aAen’A l , %/j 1 i«4M i j* ;>—. 1 z# p.; ' siiaMa^saiiTißßS, 9-m m __j_ wm ja i i ■ ■ f* _ v .; f a I iflJul If HI rPwll mLm 1 Ilf ilk 1 STaM I illl 111 zMMm II 1 liiHftlWli I Gml (X LlVuaUllm vllllllNolv i r ~ 3 l SLOWDOWN AND LIVE-THIS WINTER DRIVING FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW STARTING ABILITY ON ICE • j ‘ STOPPING ABILITY ON ICE Traction rating*, based on hundreds of tests, meat- | Average braking distances, based on tests from 20 we the pulling or hill-climbing ability of tires and | mph on glare ice.
