Subpart D  

Employment in Agriculture That Is Exempted From the Minimum Wage and Overtime Pay Requirements Under Section 13(a)(6)


29 CFR 780.324 - Requirements for the exemption to apply.

  • Section Number: 780.324
  • Section Name: Requirements for the exemption to apply.

    (a) All the following conditions must be met in order for the 
exemption to apply to an employee:
    (1) He must be ``engaged in agriculture'';
    (2) Be ``principally engaged'';
    (3) On the ``range'', and
    (4) In the ``production of livestock.''
    (b) Since the raising of livestock is included in the definition of 
agriculture under section 3(f) of the Act (see Secs. 780.119--780.121 of 
subpart B of this part), the range production of livestock would 
normally be deemed agriculture work, and, consequently, an employee, 
during this time he is engaged in such activities, would meet the basic 
requirement of the exemption that he be ``employed in agriculture.''

The following sections discuss the meaning and application of the other 
requirements.
