Scope and Content Note

These records consist of weekly payroll sheets giving: employee's name; sex; occupation; hours worked; wage rate; total earnings; and sometimes case number.

Attached to each payroll sheet are individual employee's time sheets, signed by the local supervisor certifying the time claimed. These records, dating March-December 1935, are from TERA projects in Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Little Falls, Niagara Falls, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady City, and St. Lawrence County. Included are the Emergency Nursery School Project and part-time Education Department clerical staff hired on TERA funds to work in Albany.
