                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 793_EXEMPTION OF CERTAIN RADIO AND TELEVISION STATION EMPLOYEES 
 
Sec. 793.19  Workweek is used in applying the exemption.

    The unit of time to be used in determining the application of the 
exemption under section 13(b)(9) to an employee is the workweek. (See 
Overnight Motor Transportation Co. v. Missel, 316 U.S. 572; McComb v. 
Puerto Rico Tobacco Marketing Co-op Ass'n., 80 F. Supp. 953, affirmed, 
181 F. 2d 697.) A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 
7 consecutive 24-hour periods. It may begin at any hour of any day set 
by the employer and need not coincide with the calendar week. Once the 
workweek has been set it commences each succeeding week on the same day 
and at the same hour. The workweek may not be changed for the purpose of 
evading the requirements of the Act.
