PART 783_APPLICATION OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT TO EMPLOYEES EMPLOYED 
AS SEAMEN--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 783.37  Enforcement policy for non-seaman's work.

    In the enforcement of the Act, an employee will be regarded as 
``employed as a seaman'' if his work as a whole meets the test stated in 
Sec. 783.31, even though during the workweek he performs some work of a 
nature other than that which characterizes the service of a seaman, if 
such nonseaman's work is not substantial in amount. For enforcement 
purposes, the Administrator's position is that such differing work is 
``substantial'' if it occupies more than 20 percent of the time worked 
by the employee during the workweek.
