Sec. 794.4  Significance of official interpretations.

    The interpretations of the law contained in this part are official 
interpretations of the Department of Labor with respect to the 
application under described circumstances of the provisions of law which 
they discuss. These interpretations indicate the construction of the law 
which the Secretary of Labor and the Administrator believe to be correct 
and which will guide them in the performance of their duties under the 
Act unless and until they are otherwise directed by authoritative 
decisions of the courts or conclude, upon re-examination of an 
interpretation, that it is incorrect. The interpretations in this part 
provide statements of general principles applicable to the subjects 
discussed and illustrations of the application of these principles to 
situations that frequently arise. They do not and cannot refer 
specifically to every problem which may be met in the consideration of 
the exemption discussed. The omission to discuss a particular problem in 
this part or in interpretations supplementing it should not be taken to 
indicate the adoption of any position by the Secretary of Labor or the 
Administrator with respect to such problem or to constitute an 
administrative interpretation or practice or enforcement policy. 
Questions on matters not fully covered by this part may be addressed to 
the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of 
Labor, Washington, DC 20210 or to any Regional or Area Office of the 
Division.
