THE WAGES BOOK.

imposed or the premiums granted, such information might, by means of additional columns, be inserted in the Rate Book, or special books arranged with reference to trades, as well as to individuals, might be used for this purpose.

Whether a separate banking account for wages be kept or not, the employer may find it desirable to have Summary of a summary of the Wages Book prepared wages. (Specimen No. 15), showing the number of men and women employed in the various trades, the aggregate of their wages, their average rates of pay,

&c.

Before passing from this branch of our subject it may be well to mention that even in large establishments what is in reality a receipt for the wages paid may be obtained from each employé by a process which entails but little trouble. The time or pay clerk (as Receipts for wages. may be considered the more expedient) would write out on a slip of paper, ruled and printed for the purpose, the date, the employé's number, and the amount receivable. These forms can be distributed by the various foremen to their subordinates prior to the pay. Each employé presenting himself at the paytable will hand in this form to the pay clerk. These receipts can be compared with the Wages Book.

If instead of a Wages Book pay sheets or bills are used, the receipts might be obtained on the original documents by distributing them in the different shops, but this would involve considerable labour as compared with the procedure first described.

In all cases where men do not present Wages Book. themselves at the pay-table in ordinary course the pay clerk should make an entry in a book

specially provided for that purpose, showing the man's name, the date, and the amount of his pay (Specimen No. 16).

Where any considerable number of employés are unable, owing to their hours of work, to be at the paytable at the appointed time, there may be two or more pays, or the employés so absent may empower one of their fellow-workers to receive wages on their behalf (Specimen No. 17).
