Subpart E  

Employment in Agriculture or Irrigation That Is Exempted From the Overtime Pay Requirements Under Section 13(b)(12)

29 CFR 780.404 - Activities of the employer considered in some situations.

  • Section Number: 780.404
  • Section Name: Activities of the employer considered in some situations. 
    Although the activities of the individual employee, as distinguished 
from those of his employer, constitute the ultimate test for applying 
the exemption, it is necessary in some instances to examine the 
activities of the employer. For example, in resolving the status of the 
employees of an irrigation company for purposes of the agriculture 
exemption, the U.S. Supreme Court, found it necessary to consider the 
nature of the employer's activities (Farmers Reservoir Co. v. McComb, 
337 U.S. 755).
