Part 780

Exemptions Applicable to Agriculture, Processing of Agricultural Commodities, and Related Subjects Under the Fair Labor Standards Act

Subpart E

Employment in Agriculture or Irrigation That Is Exempted From the Overtime Pay Requirements Under Section 13(b)(12)

• Section Number: 780.401
• Section Name: General explanatory statement.

    (a) Section 13(b)(12) of the Act contains the same wording as did 
section 13(a)(6) prior to the 1966 amendments. The effect of this is to 
provide a complete overtime exemption for any employee employed in 
``agriculture'' who does not qualify for exemption under section 
13(a)(6) (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) of the 1966 amendments.
    (b) In addition to exempting employees employed in agriculture, 
section
13(b)(12) also exempts from the overtime provisions of the Act employees 
employed in specified irrigation activities. Prior to the 1966 
amendments these employees were exempt from the minimum wage and 
overtime pay requirements of the Act.
    (c) For exempt employment in ``agriculture,'' see subpart B of this 
part.
