February 13, 1945 W 15-1-9 W 5-6-1 Mr. Frank Strong: Referring to your file 1-085 and Mr. Bennett’s file 217 regarding proposed application of the Fair Labor Standards to Las Vegas Land and Water Company. We have compiled and attach hereto Statement of Cost to conform with the Act in the future, as referred to in Mr. Bennett’s letter of February 6th. If the method of computation is satisfactory we can use this as a basis for preparing a retro-active statement. At Mr. McKamee’s suggestion we enclose a statement of duties performed by each employee for convenience of Law Department to determine whether each employee comes under the Act. He suggested also that the retroactive statement be compiled for a period of 3 years only as that is the time covered by the Statues of Limitations in Nevada. The first six employees listed are paid on flat monthly basis for all services rendered and are assigned 8 hours per day 6 days a week except the Foreman who is on duty 7 days per week and subject to night emergency calls without additional compensation. The two guards are employed by the Railroad Special Agents Department, on Railroad property, and Las. Vegas Land and Water Company has no control over their activities. We carry them on our payroll as a matter of convenience and bill the Railroad Company each month for the cost of the services. In this connection if it is decided to apply the standards of the Fair Labor Act a saving of |60.77 per month could be effected by employing 3 guards instead of 2.
