                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 780_EXEMPTIONS APPLICABLE TO AGRICULTURE, PROCESSING OF AGRICULTURAL 
 
                         Subpart A_Introductory
 
Sec. 780.10  Workweek standard in applying exemptions.

    The workweek is the unit of time to be taken as the standard in 
determining the applicability of an exemption. An employee's workweek is 
a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours--seven consecutive 
24-hour periods. It need not coincide with the calendar week. If in any 
workweek an employee does only exempt work, he is exempt from the wage 
and hour provisions of the Act during that workweek, irrespective of the 
nature of his work in any other workweek or workweeks. An employee may 
thus be exempt in 1 workweek and not in the next. But the burden of 
effecting segregation between exempt and nonexempt work as between 
particular workweeks is upon the employer.
