         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 793_EXEMPTION OF CERTAIN RADIO AND TELEVISION STATION EMPLOYEES 
 
Sec. 793.19  Workweek is used in applying the exemption.

    The unit of time to be used in determining the application of the 
exemption under section 13(b)(9) to an employee is the workweek. (See 
Overnight Motor Transportation Co. v. Missel, 316 U.S. 572; McComb v. 
Puerto Rico Tobacco Marketing Co-op Ass'n., 80 F. Supp. 953, affirmed, 
181 F. 2d 697.) A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 
7 consecutive 24-hour periods. It may

begin at any hour of any day set by the employer and need not coincide 
with the calendar week. Once the workweek has been set it commences each 
succeeding week on the same day and at the same hour. The workweek may 
not be changed for the purpose of evading the requirements of the Act.
