956 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 8 I concur and request authority for the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board to execute the contract. On motion of Mr. McKelvey, the execution of this contract was authorized as recommended. POLICY AND RULES RELATING TO COMPENSATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS OF NONACADEMIC EMPLOYEES Mr. McLaughlin presented a recommendation of the Committee on Civil Service and Employees on the definition of work week. The Board of Trustees on May 24, 1943 (Minutes, page 366), voted to amend the wages policy to provide that ". . . in those University operations in which continuous seven-day work is essential because of the character of the services furnished, the work week will be set so that Sunday becomes a part of the regular work week; however, the work of the Groundsmen and the Janitors is not considered as work in which seven-day work is essential and in these groups the work week will start on Monday, and time and one-half will be paid for overtime and Sunday's, and double time for holidays." This is inconsistent with Section IV, Paragraph 3, of the "Policy and Rules Relating to Compensation and Working Conditions of Nonacademic Employees," adopted by the Board in 1945, which provides that "in those positions in which continuous seven-day service is required Saturdays and Sundays (Section V ) shall not be recognized as such but as though they were regular work days." The Director of Nonacademic Personnel has recommended, the President of the University concurring, that the action of May 24, 1943, be rescinded. T h e Committee recommends that the Board rescind its action of May 24, 1943- On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, the action of May 24, 1943, quoted above, was rescinded as recommended.
