Lack of orders was only partly responsible for the shorter work week in February,” Clague said. “The principal reason is elimination of overtime hours,” he said. "With prices leveling off below their peaks, emp oyers are cutting out the high cost premium pay hours. There is still considerable overtime in the average work week because to hit, 39.4 there are many plants running more than a scheduled 40 hour week.” Under the wagediour law. time and one-half must be paid for all hours over 40 worked in a week. The work week is now 1.1 hours I below the corresponding period a year ago. But because of wage ! boosts, average weekly earnings ! have gone up neve-tbeless.
