EMPLOYED AS SEAMEN--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 783.45  Deductions from wages.

    Where deductions are made from the wages of a seaman subject to 
section 6(b) of the Act, consideration must be given as to whether or 
not such deductions are permitted to be made when they result in the 
seaman receiving cash wages which are less than the applicable minimum 
wage rate for each hour actually on duty during the period covered by 
the wage payments. Such considerations are to be based upon the 
principles and interpretations governing such deductions. These are set 
forth and discussed in part 531 of this chapter. The methods of paying 
the compensation required by section 6 and the application thereto of 
the provisions of section 3(m) of the Act, which are set forth and 
explained in the said part 531, are applicable to seamen subject to the 
minimum wage provisions of the Act.
