29 CFR 779.109 - Amount of activities which constitute engaging in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce.

  • Section Number: 779.109
  • Section Name: Amount of activities which constitute engaging in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce.

    The Act makes no distinction as to the percentage, volume, or amount 
of activities of either the employee or the employer which constitute 
engaging in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce. 
However, an employee whose in-commerce or production activities are 
isolated, sporadic, or occasional and involve only insubstantial amounts 
of goods will not be considered ``engaged in commerce or in the 
production of goods for commerce'' by virtue of that fact alone. The law 
is settled that every employee whose activities in commerce or in the 
production of goods for commerce, even though small in amount are 
regular and recurring, is considered ``engaged in commerce or in the 
production of goods for commerce''.
