Shall not be assigned to an employer engaged in operations described by another classification unless the operations subject to Code 2881 are conducted as a separate and distinct business.

Description

Code 2881 applies to employers engaged in assembling furniture from pre-manufactured parts recieved from others.  Includes all types of home and office furniture such as tables, chairs, dressers, chests of drawers, bed frames and desks.  The assembly includes the use of nails, screws, brackets, glue, dowel pins and clamps.  It also includes the finishing of the assembled products by painting, staining, varnishing, lacquering, shellacking or applying Formica type materials.  The assembly of metal or plastic furniture from parts manufactured by others is also assigned to this classification.

This classification also applies to manufacturing and finishing cabinet-type products such as picture frames, book cases, garment closets and cabinets only when these articles are made without the use of power-driven woodworking machinery.  The parts are then assembled and finished to form the completed product.

Additionally, this classification also applies to assembling and finishing Venetian type blinds made of metal, wood or plastic.  Parts, including slats which are manufactured by others, are assembled and finished by painting, if necessary.  Slat materials and top and bottom rails may be cut to length, drilled or punched and assembled with hardware, tape and cords.

The repair or reconditioning of wood or metal furniture which does not require the manufacturing or fabrication of parts is also assigned to this classification.
