"Wages Office Insurance Summary Book", Oct 1940-Jan 1949

Account book giving information on expenditure on insurance for employees (health and unemployment including National Insurance) in Sainsbury's head office, depots and other central departments (ie not including branches).

2. Tables on page 119 to 502 in which the figures for each week are summarised in a single table covering all departments (covers Oct 1941 to Jan 1949 only). The accounts refer to expenditure on stamps, die stamps, and Neopost impressions (Neopost is a franking machine company) - this relates to the method of paying for National Insurance using special stamps which were then in use.

No data appears to be included in this volume for February to September 1941.
