Since the regular rate of pay is the average hourly rate at which an
employee is actually employed, and since this rate is determined by
dividing his total remuneration for employment (except statutory
exclusions) for a given workweek by the total hours worked in that
workweek for which such remuneration was paid, it necessarily follows
that if the schedule of hours is reduced while the pay remains the same,
the regular rate has been increased.
