29CFR541.709 - Motion picture producing industry.

• Section Number: 541.709
• Section Name: Motion picture producing industry.

    The requirement that the employee be paid ``on a salary basis'' 
does not apply to an employee in the motion picture producing industry 
who is compensated at a base rate of at least $695 a week (exclusive of 
board, lodging, or other facilities). Thus, an employee in this 
industry who is otherwise exempt under subparts B, C or D of this part, 
and who is employed at a base rate of at least $695 a week is exempt if 
paid a proportionate amount (based on a week of not more than 6 days) 
for any week in which the employee does not work a full workweek for 
any reason. Moreover, an otherwise exempt employee in this industry 
qualifies for exemption if the employee is employed at a daily rate 
under the following circumstances:
    (a) The employee is in a job category for which a weekly base rate 
is not provided and the daily base rate would yield at least $695 if 6 
days were worked; or
    (b) The employee is in a job category having a weekly base rate of 
at least $695 and the daily base rate is at least one-sixth of such 
weekly base rate.
