29 CFR 776.6 - Coverage not dependent on place of work.
- Section Number: 776.6
- Section Name: Coverage not dependent on place of work.
Except for the general geographical limitations discussed in
Sec. 776.7, the Act contains no prescription as to the place where the
employee must work in order to come within its coverage. It follows that
employees otherwise coming within the terms of the Act are entitled to
its benefits whether they perform their work at home, in the factory, or
elsewhere. 18 The specific provisions of the Act relative to
regulation of homework serve to emphasize this fact. 19
