Under amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act effective September
3, 1961, employees not covered by reason of their personal engagement in
interstate commerce activites, as explained in Sec. 783.18, are
nevertheless brought within the coverage of the Act if they are employed
in an enterprise which is defined in section 3(s) of the Act as an
enterprise engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for
commerce, or by an establishment described in section 3(s)(3) of the Act
(see Sec. 783.11). Such employees, if not exempt from the minimum wage
and overtime pay requirements under section 13(a)(14) or exempt from the
overtime pay requirements under section 13(b)(6), will have to be paid
in accordance with those monetary standards of the Act unless expressly
exempt under some other provision. This would generally be true of
employees employed in enterprises and by establishments engaged in a
business concerned with transportation of goods or persons by vessels,
where the enterprise has an annual gross sales volume of $1,000,000 or
more. Enterprise coverage is more fully discussed in part 776 of this
chapter, dealing with general coverage.
