Subpart F  

Employment or Agricultural Employees in Processing Shade- Grown Tobacco; Exemption From Minimum Wage and Overtime Pay Requirements Under Section 13(a)(14)


29 CFR 780.517 - ``For use as Cigar-wrapper tobacco.''

  • Section Number: 780.517
  • Section Name: ``For use as Cigar-wrapper tobacco.''

    The phrase ``for use as Cigar-wrapper tobacco'' limits the type of 
end product which may be produced by the exempt operations. As its name 
indicates, cigar-wrapper tobacco is used as a cigar wrapper and is 
distinguished from other types of tobacco which serve other purposes 
such as filler, pipe, chewing, and other kinds of tobacco. Normally, 
shade-grown tobacco is used only for cigar wrappers. However, if the 
tobacco is not being processed by the employer for such specific and 
limited use, the employee is not engaged in exempt processing 
operations.
