Wages, Hours Of Work and Overtime Pay Provisions in Selected Industries, Ontario, April 1974. Employment Information Series No. 13.

A survey was undertaken to obtain information on a number of working conditions including straight-time hourly earnings, weekly hours of work, and initial overtime provisions for nonsupervisory employees in selected Ontario industries. The purpose of the survey was to obtain data that would permit an assessment of the direct impact of proposed changes in Ontario's minimum labor standards. For the industries surveyed, data on some or all of these working conditions are provided by sex, office, and non-office employment, full-time and part-time status, and geographic region. The 47 industries surveyed were selected from the mining, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and service sectors. The data refer to the last normal pay period preceeding April 28, 1974. The tables presented in the report are based on the distributions obtained from the sample survey. (Author/NJ)
