Thus, an employee in this industry who is otherwise exempt under subparts B, C, or D of this part, and who is employed at a base rate of at least the applicable current minimum amount a week is exempt if paid a proportionate amount (based on a week of not more than 6 days) for any week in which the employee does not work a full workweek for any reason. Moreover, an otherwise exempt employee in this industry qualifies for exemption if the employee is employed at a daily rate under the following circumstances:\n(a) The employee is in a job category for which a weekly base rate is not provided and the daily base rate would yield at least the minimum weekly amount if 6 days were worked; or\n(b) The employee is in a job category having the minimum weekly base rate and the daily base rate is at least one-sixth of such weekly base rate.","path":["Title 29—Labor","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Labor","CHAPTER V—WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","SUBCHAPTER A—REGULATIONS","PART 541—DEFINING AND DELIMITING THE EXEMPTIONS FOR EXECUTIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE, PROFESSIONAL, COMPUTER AND OUTSIDE SALES EMPLOYEES","Subpart H—Definitions and Miscellaneous Provisions"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-29.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:20Z","sha256":"53f9e31e527db42256747e8f27e35e13628367652ca283f72785b2d00b36609e","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/29-cfr-541.708","next":"us/29-cfr-541.710"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
