Because of a shortage of staff the Auckland Metropolian Drainage Board has . decided that all salaried officers will work a 40-hour week instead of the present 37J-hour week. Overtime will be paid except to the six senior executives—chief engineer, assistant engineer, chief chemist, chief designing engineer, the secretary, and the treasurer. The board made its decision after a long discussion in committee. The chairman (Mr D. M. Robinson) said that overtime rates would be paidat the usual rate of time and a naif on the additional two and a half hours worked each week, which meant that all salaried officers would earn about 10 per cent, above basic salaries.
