29 CFR 779.300 - Purpose of subpart. General Principles

  • Section Number: 779.300
  • Section Name: Purpose of subpart. General Principles


    Subpart C of this part has discussed the various criteria for 
determining coverage under the Act of employers and employees in 
enterprises and establishments that make retail sales of goods and 
services. This subpart deals primarily with the exemptions from the 
Act's minimum wage and overtime provisions found in section 13(a) (2), 
(4), (11), and 13(b)(18) for employees of retail or service 
establishments. Also discussed are some exemptions for special 
categories of establishments engaged in retailing goods or services, 
which do not require for exemption that the particular establishment be 
a retail or service establishment as defined in the Act. If all the 
requirements set forth in any of these exemptions are met, to the extent 
provided therein the employer is relieved from complying with
the minimum wage and/or overtime provisions of the Act even though his 
employees are engaged in interstate or foreign commerce or in the 
production of goods for such commerce or employed in covered 
enterprises.
