                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 778_OVERTIME COMPENSATION--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart B_The Overtime Pay Requirements
 
Sec. 778.101  Maximum nonovertime hours.

    As a general standard, section 7(a) of the Act provides 40 hours as 
the maximum number that an employee subject to its provisions may work 
for an employer in any workweek without receiving additional 
compensation at not less than the statutory rate for overtime. Hours 
worked in excess of the statutory maximum in any workweek are overtime 
hours under the statute; a workweek no longer than the prescribed 
maximum is a nonovertime workweek under the Act, to which the pay 
requirements of section 6 (minimum wage and equal pay) but not those of 
section 7(a) are applicable.
