         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

 

PART 780_EXEMPTIONS APPLICABLE TO AGRICULTURE, PROCESSING OF AGRICULTURAL 

COMMODITIES, AND RELATED SUBJECTS UNDER THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT--Table 

of Contents

 

Subpart I_Employment in Ginning of Cotton and Processing of Sugar Beets, 

   Sugar-Beet Molasses, Sugarcane, or Maple Sap into Sugar or Syrup; 

    Exemption From Overtime Pay Requirements Under Section 13(b)(15)

 

Sec.  780.816  Processing of specific commodities.



    Only the processing of sugar beets, sugar-beet molasses, sugarcane, 

or maple sap is within the exemption. Operations performed on 

commodities other than those named are not exempt under this section 

even though they result in the production of unrefined sugar or syrup. 

For example, sorghum cane or refinery syrup (which is a byproduct of 

refined syrup) are not named commodities and employees engaged in 

processing these products are not exempt under this section even though 

the resultant product is raw sugar. The loss of exemption would obtain 

for the same reason for employees engaged in processing sugar, glucose, 

or ribbon cane syrup into syrup.
