    Section 6 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206) 
requires that each employee, not specifically exempted, who is engaged 
in commerce, or in the production of goods for commerce, or who is 
employed in an enterprise engaged in commerce, or in the production of 
goods for commerce receive a specified minimum wage. Section 7 of the 
Act (29 U.S.C. 207) provides that persons may not be employed for more 
than a stated number of hours a week without receiving at least one and 
one-half times their regular rate of pay for the overtime hours. The 
amount of money an employee should receive cannot be determined without 
knowing the number of hours worked. This part discusses the principles 
involved in determining what constitutes working time. It also seeks to 
apply these principles to situations that frequently arise. It cannot 
include every possible situation. No inference should be drawn from the 
fact that a subject or an illustration is omitted. If doubt arises 
inquiries should be sent to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour 
Division, U.S. Department of Labor,
