                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 530_EMPLOYMENT OF HOMEWORKERS IN CERTAIN INDUSTRIES--Table of Contents
 
     Subpart C_Denial/Revocation of Homeworker Employer Certificates
 
Sec. 530.202  Piece rates--work measurement.

    (a) No certificate will be issued pursuant to Sec. 530.101 of 
subpart B to an employer who pays homeworkers based on piece rates 
unless the employer establishes the piece rates for the different types 
of items produced using stop watch time studies or other work 
measurement methods. Documentation of the work measurements used to 
establish the piece rates, and the circumstances under which such 
measurements were conducted shall be retained for three years and made 
available on request to the Wage and Hour Division.
    (b) The fact that an employer bases piece rates on work measurements 
which indicate that the homeworkers would receive at least the minimum 
wage at such piece rate(s) does not relieve the employer from the Act's 
requirement that each homeworker actually receive not less than the 
minimum wage for all hours worked.
