GOVERNMENT PAY-ROLL
HEAVY IN CANTERBURY _ The‘fortnightly pay-roll administered in Canterbury by the Public Works Department must be easily the biggest in the province. The last return of the department for Canterbury showed that there were 2300 men employed under its direction and since that date some hundreds more men have been put on the pay-roll, on a great diversity of undertakings. Their fortnightly earnings now run into many thousands of pounds and it takes a big staff a great deal of time in dealing with working sheets, timesheets and from them, in assessing money earned. It says much for the efficiency of the department that payment is regularly made only three days after time-sheets are put in.
