Sec. 784.17  Basic coverage in general.

    Except as otherwise provided in specific exemptions, the minimum 
wage, overtime pay, and child labor standards of the Act are generally 
applicable to employees who engage in specified activities concerned 
with interstate or foreign commerce. The employment of oppressive child 
labor in or about establishments producing goods for such commerce is 
also restricted by the Act. The monetary and child labor standards of 
the Act are also generally applicable to other employees, not 
specifically exempted, who are employed in specified enterprises engaged 
in such commerce or in the production of goods for such commerce. The 
employer must observe the monetary standards with respect to all such 
employees in his employ except those who may be denied one or both of 
these benefits by virtue of some specific exemption provision of the 
Act, such as section 13(a)(5) or 13(b)(4). It should be noted that 
enterprises having employees subject to these exemptions may also have 
other employees who may be exempt under section 13(a)(1) of the Act, 
subject to conditions specified in regulations, as employees employed in 
a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, or in 
the capacity of outside salesman. The regulations governing these 
exemptions are set forth and explained in part 541 of this chapter.
