                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 783_APPLICATION OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT TO EMPLOYEES EMPLOYED 
AS SEAMEN--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 783.10  ``Establishment''.

    As used in the Act (including the provision quoted below in Sec. 
783.11), the term ``establishment'', which is not specifically defined 
therein, refers to a ``distinct physical place of business'' rather than 
to ``an entire business or enterprise'' which may include several 
separate places of business. This is consistent with the meaning of the 
term as it is normally used in business and in government, is judicially 
settled, and has been recognized in the Congress in the course of 
enactment of amendatory legislation (Phillips v. Walling 334 U.S. 490; 
Mitchell v. Bekins Van & Storage Co., 352 U.S. 1027; 95 Cong. Rec. 
12505, 12579, 14877; H. Rept.

No. 1453, 81st Cong., 1st sess. p. 35). This is the meaning of the term 
as used in sections 3(r), 3(s), and 6(b) of the Act. An establishment 
may have employees employed away from the establishment as well as 
within it (H. Rept. No. 1453, supra).
