         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 783_APPLICATION OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT TO EMPLOYEES 
EMPLOYED AS SEAMEN--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 783.22  Pay standards for employees subject to ``old'' coverage 
of the Act.

    The 1961 amendments did not change the tests described in Sec. 
783.18 by which coverage based on the employee's individual activities 
is determined. Any employee whose employment satisfies these tests and 
would not have come within some exemption (such as section 13(a)(14)) in 
the Act prior to the 1961 amendments is subject to the ``old'' 
provisions of the law and entitled to a minimum wage of at least $1.15 
an hour beginning September 3, 1961, and not less than $1.25 an hour 
beginning September 3, 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)), unless expressly 
exempted by some provision of the amended Act. Such an employee is also 
entitled to overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in any 
workweek at a rate not less than one and one-half times his regular rate 
of pay (29 U.S.C. 207(a)(1)), unless expressly exempt from overtime by 
some exemption such as section 13(b)(6). (Minimum wage rates in Puerto 
Rico, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa are governed by special 
provisions of the Act (26 U.S.C. 206(a)(3); 206(c)(2).) Information on 
these rates is available at any office of the Wage and Hour Division.
