                    Subpart A_General Considerations

 

Sec.  785.2  Decisions on interpretations; use of interpretations.



    The ultimate decisions on interpretations of the act are made by the 

courts. The Administrator must determine in the first instance the 

positions he will take in the enforcement of the Act. The regulations in 

this part seek to inform the public of such positions. It should thus 

provide a ``practical guide for employers and employees as to how the 

office representing the public interest in its enforcement will seek to 

apply it.'' (Skidmore v. Swift, 323 U.S. 134, 138 (1944).)
