                        TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
 
 CHAPTER X--SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
                               (Continued)
 
PART 1245_CLASSIFICATION OF RAILROAD EMPLOYEES; REPORTS OF SERVICE AND 
COMPENSATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1245.4  Forms required to be used.

    (a) The report of information to the Surface Transportation Board on 
railroad employees, service and compensation includes two forms. Form A 
relates to employees other than train and engine service employees. Form 
B relates to train and engine service employees.
    (b) With general reference to the statement of the compensation of 
employees in Forms A and B, it should be understood that the total 
compensation received by the employees in each Reporting Division, as 
well as the amount of work they perform, should be shown properly 
distributed under the prescribed column heads as indicated by the forms. 
It should be noted that if the work of an employee varies during a 
report period, his time and compensation should be apportioned 
accordingly. Amounts reported should be gross compensation paid.

    Illustrations. (a) In the course of a month, an employee works as a 
Machinist, and as such earns $200 and he works also as a Gang Foreman 
and earns $130. The pay received by him in the occupation of Machinist 
with corresponding time should be included in returns for Division 61, 
``Machinists'', and his other pay and time as indicated should be 
included in returns for Division 53, ``Gang Foremen and Gang Leaders''. 
(b) When an employee works at two or more of the occupations of 
engineer, fireman, conductor, and brakeman, his time and compensation 
should be assigned in accordance with the facts. For example, in a 
certain month an employee earns as a Through Freight Engineer $110, as a 
Local or Way Freight Engineer $140, as a Yard Engineer $100, and as a 
Local or Way Freight Fireman $75. The time and the compensation of this 
employee should be correspondingly distributed among Reporting Divisions 
122, 123, 124, and 127 as they are respectively applicable, without 
regard to the predominance of the time worked or the amount earned by 
him in one occupation.

    (c) As elsewhere indicated, the statement of the number of employees 
in the service of a company with respect to Reporting Divisions depends 
upon

the allocation of the individual employees as of the day of count.
    (d) The Reporting Divisions shown in Forms A and B following will 
also be used in connection with the employees' schedule in the annual 
reports of railroads of classes I and II to the Board. Railroads of 
class III and lessor companies shall report only the information 
required in the annual report forms prescribed for such companies.
