Page #3 MONEY - MONEY - MONEY! (Cont'd) 700 men, some of whom are only too eager to show the paymaster a thing or two, Each day Pete Ross checks the foreman's report card with the individual punch eard and marks on the back the number of hours that the employee worked, At the end of each pay period which at Fraser Brace, is the 15th and end of each month, the hours and days worked are added up and put in separate columns on the face of the card. The overtime (for Sundays and holidays) is added to the hours worked and this total is put in the "Hours Paid for Column", Thus everything is ready for the extension, This next step is the calculation of the individuals earnings which is done by multiplying the rate by the hours paid for. When this has been completed, two percent of the earnings are added in the form of vacation pay, This gives us the gross earnings from which the various deductions are made, The 4 main deductions are: Vacation Pay (which is added on and then substracted, but the employee still gets stamps in his Lal) Income Tax, Board and Unemployment Insurance, The mihor ones are Advameed Fare and Sundries, When all these deductions have been made by Messers, Brady and Getz, the net earning is obtained, The employer's qhare ef Unemployment Insurance appears at the bottom of the card, but it is of no impertance to the individual cheque. When the cards are complete, Mr. Kenneth "Shakespeare" Weppler takes ever and types out the cheques on the amazing bookkeeping machine, This marvellous instrument adds about a dozen columns at once and has it all over Einstein in this department. Even after the cheques have been typed only half the battle is over. The earning cards, which are a record of the earnings of the employee during his stay with the organization, have to be brought up to date, a dummy payroll typed and a summary sheet listing the hours worked and all the other details by trades, Then the cheques are cheeked and rechecked and finally stamped and signed, They are next earefully stowed away, awaiting the eager hands of their owners. ~o0o=- STICKERS REQUIRED ON VEHICLES 11 vehicles at Terrace Bay will require windshield stickers to pass guards at gates, Persons requiring stickers for their vehicles may obtain same from the Dis- pateher's Office in the Lower Camp. -o0o- SCRAP WOOD AVAILABLE FOR TOWNSITE RESIDENTS Serap wood is available in random lengths fro Townsite residents, This weod will be delivered at no charge to the back door of any residence.
