Sec. 779.4  Pay standards for newly covered employment.

    There are many employees of retailers as well as other employees who 
would not be subject to the minimum wage or overtime pay provisions of 
the Act as it was prior to the 1966 amendments, either because of their 
individual activities or because of the activities of the enterprise in 
which they are employed, but who are brought under the minimum wage or 
overtime provisions, or both, for the first time by the changed 
enterprise coverage provisions or changes in exemptions, or both, which 
were enacted as part of the amendments and made effective February 1, 
1967. The following pay standards apply to this newly covered 
employment, unless a specific exemption has been retained or provided in 
the amendments; such employees must be paid not less than the minimum 
wages for hours worked and not less than one and one-half times their 
regular rates of pay for overtime, as shown in the following schedule:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Minimum wage                          Beginning
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$1.00 an hour............................  February 1, 1967.
$1.15 an hour............................  February 1, 1968.
$1.30 an hour............................  February 1, 1969.
$1.45 an hour............................  February 1, 1970.
$1.60 an hour............................  February 1, 1971 and
                                            thereafter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


In each instance where there is an increase in the minimum wage, the new 
minimum wage rate becomes effective 12:01 a.m., on the date indicated. 
(Minimum wage rates for newly covered employees in Puerto Rico, the 
Virgin Islands, and American Samoa are set by wage order under special 
industry committee procedures. Information on these rates and their 
effective dates may be obtained at any office of the Wage and Hour 
Division.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Overtime pay                          Beginning
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 44 hours in a workweek.............  Feb. 1, 1967.
After 42 hours in a workweek.............  Feb. 1, 1968.
After 40 hours in a workweek and           Feb. 1, 1969.
 thereafter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------


In each instance where a new overtime pay standard is applicable, it 
shall be effective as to any workweek beginning on or after the date 
indicated.
