29 CFR 780.511 - Meaning of ``agricultural employee.''

  • Section Number: 780.511
  • Section Name: Meaning of ``agricultural employee.''

    An ``agricultural employee,'' for purposes of section 13(a)(14), may 
be defined as an employee employed in activities which are included in 
the definition of ``agriculture'' in section 3(f) of the Act (see 
Sec. 780.103), and who is employed in these activities with sufficient 
regularity or continuity to characterize him as a person who engages in 
them as an occupation. Isolated or sporadic instances of engagement by 
an employee in activities defined as ``agriculture'' would not 
ordinarily establish that he is an ``agricultural employee.'' His 
engagement in agriculture should be sufficiently substantial to 
demonstrate some dedication to agricultural work as a means of 
livelihood.
