29 CFR 778.1 - Purpose of interpretative bulletin.

  • Section Number: 778.1
  • Section Name: Purpose of interpretative bulletin. 
    This part 778 constitutes the official interpretation of the 
Department of Labor with respect to the meaning and application of the 
maximum hours and overtime pay requirements contained in section 7 of 
the Act. It is the purpose of this bulletin to make available in one 
place the interpretations of these provisions which will guide the 
Secretary of Labor and the Administrator
in the performance of their duties under the Act unless and until they 
are otherwise directed by authoritative decisions of the courts or 
conclude, upon reexamination of an interpretation, that it is incorrect. 
These official interpretations are issued by the Administrator on the 
advice of the Solicitor of Labor, as authorized by the Secretary (Reorg. 
Pl. 6 of 1950, 64 Stat. 1263; Gen. Ord. 45A, May 24, 1950, 15 FR 3290).
