Of the four 10-hour days which sanitation workers are scheduled to work, how many hours do they actually work on the average?
Based on an analysis completed last year of employees on residential routes that work on the task system, we found that there is a wide variation in actual hours worked based mainly on such factors as day of week (cf., Mondays and Tuesdays generally take longer than Thursdays and Fridays); time of the year; speed which each crew chooses to maintain; and individual route on which specific employees work. Accordingly, the derivation of an arithmetic average should be considered as a representative number only, with many employees working a greater or lesser number of hours that such a process yields. Notwithstanding these qualifications, we found that the average number of hours per week that an employee assigned to a residential route works is 28. 2. Do workers punch time clocks to record time on the job? The sanitation personnel do not use time clocks. A system has been in place for many years in which one of the supervisors records on a daily basis the start time and end time for ever
