The Board considered the following memorandum from Manager Renshaw dated A p ril 28, l $59 relative to employees working conditions. T O : Board of Directors FR O M : W . C . Renshaw SU B JEC T: Employees Working Conditions The rules governing employees working conditions were established by the Board of Directors on September 10, 1954. They were rather general In character,, so that a certain, amount of interpretation has been necessary in their application and some questions have arisen which are not specifically covered. It is suggested, therefore, that they be reviewed at this time in order to clarify points in doubt and insure that the wishes of the Board are being complied w ith . When this has been done, it is proposed to prepare a complete set of rules for Board approval. V A C A T IO N S The rules relative to vacations are fairly complete. However, one change is recom­mended, namely, to express the time allowed In terms of working days instead of calendar days. The purpose is to.cover the. situation where a holiday occurs within the vacation period and give ell employees the same number of working days off.
