Wage Payments Under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938

Subpart C

Interpretations

• Section Number: 531.30
• Section Name: ``Furnished'' to the employee.

    The reasonable cost of board, lodging, or other facilities may be 
considered as part of the wage paid an employee only where customarily 
``furnished'' to the employee. Not only must the employee receive the 
benefits of the facility for which he is charged, but it is essential 
that his acceptance of the facility be voluntary and uncoerced. See 
Williams v. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. (E.D.N.C.). 1 W.H. Cases 
289.
