                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 793_EXEMPTION OF CERTAIN RADIO AND TELEVISION STATION EMPLOYEES 
 
Sec. 793.13  Limitation on related and incidental work.

    The related work which an employee may perform is clearly limited in 
nature and extent by a number of requirements. One limitation is that 
the work must be an incident to the employee's primary occupation. The 
work therefore may not predominate over his primary job. He is not 
``employed as'' an announcer, news editor, or chief engineer if his 
dominant employment is in work outside such occupations (see Walling v. 
Haden, 153 F. 2d 196, cert. denied 328 U.S. 866). For instance, an 
announcer who spends 40 hours of his 48 hour workweek in selling 
broadcasting time would not be considered to be ``incidentally'' engaged 
in such selling. Selling would in such circumstances be his primary 
occupation. His duties as an announcer must constitute his primary job. 
Another requirement is that the work of the employees must be performed 
``for the broadcasting company by which they are employed * * *'' (see 
S. Rept. cited in Sec. 793.12). Sale of broadcasting time for a company 
which does not employ the employee as an announcer, news editor, or 
chief engineer, is not exempt work. Work which is not performed for the 
station by which the employee is employed, is not intended

to be exempt. For a discussion of the effect on the exemption of 
nonexempt work see Sec. Sec. 793.19 to 793.21.
