29 CFR 779.217 - ``Unified operation'' defined.

  • Section Number: 779.217
  • Section Name: ``Unified operation'' defined. 
    Webster defines the word ``unify'' to mean ``to cause to be one; to 
make into a unit; to unite.'' The pertinent definition of ``operation'' 
is a method or way of operating, working or functioning. Since the term 
``unified operation'' has reference to the method of performing the 
related activities, it means combining, uniting, or organizing their 
performance so that they are in effect a single business unit or an 
organized business system which is an economic unit directed to the 
accomplishment of a common business purpose. The term ``unified 
operation'' thus includes a business which may consist of separate 
segments but which is conducted or operated as a unit or as a single 
business for a common business purpose.
