Subpart A of this part 780 and this subpart K together constitute
the official interpretative bulletin of the Department of Labor with
respect to the meaning and application of section 13(d) of the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended. This section provides an
exemption from the minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor
provisions of the Act for certain homeworkers employed in making wreaths
from evergreens and in harvesting evergreens and other forest products
for use in making wreaths. Attention is directed to the fact that a
limited overtime exemption for employees employed in the decoration
greens industry is provided under section 7(c) of the Act (see part 526
of this chapter). The section 7(c) exemption is not limited to
homeworkers.
