Part 788  

Forestry or Logging Operations In Which Not More Than Eight Employees Are Employed

29 CFR 788.1 - Statutory provisions.

  • Section Number: 788.1
  • Section Name: Statutory provisions. 
    Section 13(a)(13) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as 
amended, provides an exemption from the minimum wage and overtime 
requirements of the Act, as follows:

    The provisions of sections 6 and 7 shall not apply with respect to * 
* * any employee employed in planting or tending trees, cruising, 
surveying, or felling timber, or in preparing or transporting logs or 
other forestry products to the mill, processing plant, railroad, or 
other transportation terminal, if the number of employees employed by 
his employer in such forestry or lumbering operations does not exceed 
eight.


This exemption, formerly section 13(a)(15) of the Act, was amended by 
the Fair Labor Standards Amendments
of 1966 (80 Stat. 830) to change the number of employees limitation from 
12 to eight, and to redesignate it as section 13(a)(13).
