The 1961 Amendments added to section 14 of the Act, the authority to
issue special certificates for the employment of ``full-time students,''
under certain specified conditions, at wages lower than the minimum wage
applicable under section 6. The student, to qualify for a special
certificate must attend school full time and his employment must be
outside of his school hours and his employment must be in a retail or
service establishment. In addition, the student's employment must not be
of the type ordinarily given to a full-time employee. ``The purpose of
this provision,'' as made clear in the legislative history, ``is to
provide employment opportunities for students who desire to work part
time outside of their school hours without the displacement of adult
workers'' (S. Rept. 145, 87th Cong., first session, p. 29). The
application of this provision was amplified by the 1966 Amendments to
provide for the employment of full-time students regardless of age but
in compliance with applicable child labor laws in retail or service
establishments and in agriculture (not to exceed 20 hours in any
workweek) or on a part-time or a full-time basis during school vacations
at a wage rate not less than 85 percent of the applicable minimum wage
(H. Rept. 1366, 89th Cong., second session, pp. 34 and 35). Regulations
authorizing the issuance of certificates under this provision of the Act
are published in part 519 of this chapter.
