Sec. 531.29  Board, lodging, or other facilities.

    Section 3(m) applies to both of the following situations: (a) Where 
board, lodging, or other facilities are furnished in addition to a 
stipulated wage; and (b) where charges for board, lodging, or other 
facilities are deducted from a stipulated wage. The use of the word 
``furnishing'' and the legislative history of section 3(m) clearly 
indicate that this section was intended to apply to all facilities 
furnished by the employer as compensation to the employee, regardless of 
whether the employer calculates charges for such facilities as additions 
to or deductions from wages.
