This part 778 does not deal with the general coverage of the Act or
various specific exemptions provided in the statute, under which certain
employees within the general coverage of the wage and hours provisions
are wholly or partially excluded from the protection of the Act's
minimum-wage and overtime-pay requirements. Some of these exemptions are
self-executing; others call for definitions or other action by the
Administrator. Regulations and interpretations relating to general
coverage and specific exemptions may be found in other parts of this
chapter.
