Subpart G  

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


29 CFR 780.602 - General explanatory statement.

  • Section Number: 780.602
  • Section Name: General explanatory statement.

    Ordinarily, as discussed in subparts D and E of this part 780, an 
employee who in the same workweek engages in work which is exempt as 
agriculture under section 13(a)(6) or 13(b)(12) of the Act and also 
performs nonexempt work to which the Act applies is not exempt in that 
week (Sec. 780.11). Employees of a farmer are not employed in work 
exempt as ``agriculture'' while engaged in livestock auction operations 
in which the livestock offered at auction includes livestock raised by 
other farmers (Mitchell v. Hunt, 263 F. 2d 913) (C.A. 5); Hearnsberger 
v. Gillespie, 435 F. 2d 926 (C.A. 8). However, under section 13(b)(13) 
an employee who is employed by a farmer in agriculture as well as in 
livestock auction operations in the same workweek will not lose the 
overtime exemption for that workweek, if certain conditions are met. 
These conditions and their meaning and application are discussed in this 
subpart.
