Sec. 531.26  Relation to other laws.

    Various Federal, State, and local legislation requires the payment 
of wages in cash; prohibits or regulates the issuance of scrip, tokens, 
credit cards, ``dope checks'' or coupons; prevents or restricts payment 
of wages in services or facilities; controls company stores and 
commissaries; outlaws ``kickbacks''; restrains assignment and 
garnishment of wages; and generally governs the calculation of wages and 
the frequency and manner of paying them. Where such legislation is 
applicable and does not contravene the requirements of the Act, nothing 
in the Act, the regulations, or the interpretations announced by the 
Administrator should be taken to override or nullify the provisons of of 
these laws.
