         Subpart B_Principles for Determination of Hours Worked

 

Sec.  785.6  Definition of ``employ'' and partial definition of ``hours 

worked''.



    By statutory definition the term ``employ'' includes (section 3(g)) 

``to suffer or permit to work.'' The act, however, contains no 

definition of ``work''. Section 3(o) of the Fair Labor Standards Act 

contains a partial definition of ``hours worked'' in the form of a 

limited exception for clothes-changing and wash-up time.
