PART 780_EXEMPTIONS APPLICABLE TO AGRICULTURE, PROCESSING OF AGRICULTURAL

of Contents

 

Subpart F_Employment or Agricultural Employees in Processing Shade-Grown 

Tobacco; Exemption From Minimum Wage and Overtime Pay Requirements Under 

                            Section 13(a)(14)

 

Sec.  780.517  ``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.
