29 CFR 779.303 - ``Establishment'' defined; distinguished from ``enterprise'' and ``business.''
- Section Number: 779.303
- Section Name: ``Establishment'' defined; distinguished from ``enterprise'' and ``business.''
As previously stated in Sec. 779.23, the term establishment as used in the Act means a distinct physical place of business. The ``enterprise,'' by reason of the definition contained in section 3(r) of the Act and the tests enumerated in section 3(s) of the Act, may be composed of a single establishment. The term ``establishment,'' however, is not synonymous with the words ``business'' or ``enterprise'' when those terms are used to describe multiunit operations. In such a multiunit operation some of the establishments may qualify for exemption, others may not. For example, a manufacturer may operate a plant for production of its goods, a separate warehouse for storage and distribution, and several stores from which its products are sold. Each such physically separate place of business is a separate establishment. In the case of chain store systems, branch stores, groups of independent stores organized to carry on business in a manner similar to chain store systems, and retail outlets operated by manufacturing or distributing concerns, each separate place of business ordinarily is a separate establishment.
