                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 541_DEFINING AND DELIMITING THE EXEMPTIONS FOR EXECUTIVE, 
 
           Subpart H_Definitions and Miscellaneous Provisions
 
Sec. 541.709  Motion picture producing industry.

    The requirement that the employee be paid ``on a salary basis'' does 
not apply to an employee in the motion picture producing industry who is 
compensated at a base rate of at least $695 a week (exclusive of board, 
lodging, or other facilities). Thus, an employee in this industry who is 
otherwise exempt under subparts B, C or D of this part, and who is 
employed at a base rate of at least $695 a week is exempt if paid a 
proportionate amount (based on a week of not more than 6 days) for any 
week in which the employee does not work a full workweek for any reason. 
Moreover, an otherwise exempt employee in this industry qualifies for 
exemption if the employee is employed at a daily rate under the 
following circumstances:
    (a) The employee is in a job category for which a weekly base rate 
is not provided and the daily base rate would yield at least $695 if 6 
days were worked; or
    (b) The employee is in a job category having a weekly base rate of 
at least $695 and the daily base rate is at least one-sixth of such 
weekly base rate.
