Employment in Agriculture and Livestock Auction Operations Under the Section 13(b)(13) Exemption


29 CFR 780.613 - ``By such farmer.''

  • Section Number: 780.613
  • Section Name: ``By such farmer.''

    The employee's primary employment in agriculture during the exempt 
week is also required to be by ``such farmer.'' The phrase ``such 
farmer'' refers to the particular farmer by whom the employee is 
employed in agriculture and who engages in the livestock auction 
operations as an adjunct to his raising of livestock. Even if an 
employee may spend more than half of his work time in a workweek in 
agriculture, he would not be exempt if such employment in agriculture 
were engaged in for various persons so that less than the primary 
portion of his workweek was performed in his employment in agriculture 
by such farmer. For example, an employee may work a 60-hour week and be 
employed in agriculture for 50 of those hours, of which 20 hours are 
worked in his employment by the farmer who is engaged in the livestock 
auction operations, the other 30 being performed for a neighboring 
farmer. Although this employee was primarily employed in agriculture 
during the workweek he is not exempt. His primary employment in 
agriculture was not by the farmer described in section 13(b)(13) as 
required.
