The Fair Labor Standards Act As Applied to Retailers of Goods or Services

Subpart B

Employment to Which the Act May Apply: Basic Principles and Individual Coverage

• Section Number: 779.106
• Section Name: Employees employed by an independent employer.

    Where the work of an employee would be closely related and directly 
essential to the production of goods for commerce if he were employed by 
a producer of the goods, the mere fact that the employee is employed by 
an independent employer will not justify a different answer. (See 
Secs. 776.17(c) and 776.19 of this chapter.)
