Sec. 784.16  ``Regular rate.''

    As explained in part 778 of this chapter, dealing with overtime 
compensation, employees subject to the overtime pay provisions of the 
Act must generally receive for their overtime work in any workweek as 
provided in the Act not less than one and one-half times their regular 
rates of pay. Section 7(e) of the Act defines the term ``regular rate'' 
``to include all remuneration for employment paid to, or on behalf of, 
the employee'' except certain payments which are expressly described in 
and excluded by the statutory definition. This definition, which is 
discussed at length in part 778 of this chapter, determines the regular 
rate upon which time and one-half overtime compensation must be computed 
under section 7(a) of the Act for employees within its general coverage 
who are not exempt from the overtime provisions under either of the 
fishery and seafood exemptions provided by sections 13(a)(5) and 
13(b)(4) or under some other exemption contained in the Act.
