                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 510_IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MINIMUM WAGE PROVISIONS OF THE 1989 
AMENDMENTS TO THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT IN PUERTO RICO--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart C_Classification of Industries
 
Sec. 510.24  Governmental entities eligible for minimum wage phase-in.

    (a) The Commonwealth government of Puerto Rico has been determined 
to be eligible for treatment under Tier 2, on the basis of wage data 
supplied to the Department.
    (b) Appendix C of this part contains a listing of Commonwealth 
government corporations, indicating the phase-in tier which applies. 
Entities which do not appear on the list are those for which no wage 
data were supplied. These entities are therefore categorized under Tier 
1, and are ineligible for an extended phase-in.
    (c) Appendix D of the part contains a listing of municipalities, 
indicating the phase-in tier which applies. Municipalities categorized 
under Tier 1 are those which failed to supply wage data.
    (d) Employees of municipalities who have reason to believe that the 
municipality by which they are employed has been incorrectly 
categorized, e.g., categorized under Tier 3 instead of Tier 2, may no 
later than June 1, 1990, file with the Administrator a petition for 
review. The petition shall be accompanied by any information the 
employee may have to support a determination that the municipality is 
incorrectly categorized. In the event the Administrator determines that 
a tier other than that listed in appendix D of

this part applies, the affected municipality shall be liable for 
retroactive payment of any back wages found to be due.
    (e) Certain employees of municipalities or government corporations 
in which the average wage is less than $4.00 per hour are eligible to be 
paid under Tier 4, rather than Tier 3. Tier 4 applies only to those 
employees employed by municipalities or government corporations who are 
principally engaged in one or more of the ``traditional'' functions 
listed in Sec. 510.24 (a) or (b). All other employees of such entities 
must be paid in accordance with Tier 3.
