29 CFR 779.242 - Goods that ``have been moved in'' commerce.

  • Section Number: 779.242
  • Section Name: Goods that ``have been moved in'' commerce.

    For the purpose of section 3(s), goods will be considered to ``have 
been moved * * * in commerce'' when they have moved across State lines 
before they are handled, sold, or otherwise worked on by the employees. 
It is immaterial in such a case that the goods may have ``come to rest'' 
within the meaning of the term ``in commerce'' as interpreted in other 
respects, before they are handled, sold, or otherwise worked on by the 
employees in the enterprise. Such movement in commerce may take place 
before they have reached the enterprise, or within the enterprise, such 
as from a warehouse of the enterprise in one State to a retail store of 
the same enterprise located in another State. Thus, employees will be 
considered to be ``handling, selling, or otherwise working on goods that 
have been moved in * * * commerce'' where they are engaged in the 
described activities on ``goods'' that have moved across State lines at 
any time in the course of business, such as from the manufacturer to the 
distributor, or to the ``enterprise,'' or from one establishment to 
another within the ``enterprise.'' See the general discussion in part 
776 of this chapter.
