Sec. 783.48  Factors determining application of exemptions.

    The application of the exemptions provided by section 13(a)(14) and 
section 13(b)(6) of the Act is determined in accordance with their 
language and scope as explained in Sec. Sec. 783.24, 783.25, and 
783.27, with regard to the principles set forth in Sec. 783.20 and the 
legislative history and judicial construction outlined in Sec. Sec. 
783.28 through 783.30. Whether a particular employee is exempt depends 
on what he does, as explained in Sec. Sec. 783.31 through 783.37. 
Whether he is exempt from the overtime pay provisions only or from 
minimum wages as well depends on whether his employment is or is not on 
an American vessel, which is determined as indicated in Sec. Sec. 
783.38 through 783.42. In addition, sections 13(a)(14) and 13(b)(6), 
like other exemptions in the Act, apply on a workweek basis as mentioned 
in Sec. 783.43 and explained in Sec. Sec. 783.49 and 783.50.
