The 1961 amendments did not change the tests described in
Sec. 783.18 by which coverage based on the employee's individual
activities is determined. Any employee whose employment satisfies these
tests and would not have come within some exemption (such as section
13(a)(14)) in the Act prior to the 1961 amendments is subject to the
``old'' provisions of the law and entitled to a minimum wage of at least
$1.15 an hour beginning September 3, 1961, and not less than $1.25 an
hour beginning September 3, 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)), unless expressly
exempted by some provision of the amended Act. Such an employee is also
entitled to overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in any
workweek at a rate not less than one and one-half times his regular rate
of pay (29 U.S.C. 207(a)(1)), unless expressly exempt from overtime by
some exemption such as section 13(b)(6). (Minimum wage rates in Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa are governed by special
provisions of the Act (26 U.S.C. 206(a)(3); 206(c)(2).) Information on
these rates is available at any office of the Wage and Hour Division.
