Wanna read something that will make it seem even worse........?
How do you expect tobacco growers to profit if they can't pay minor children of their already underpaid hand harvesters a minimum and ot exempt rate....since they can't be on the farm, under such a provision? More importantly, where will the gov collect their sin taxes from when the tobacco fields turn into soy or corn?
Quote:Any employer in agriculture who did not utilize more than 500 "man days" of agricultural labor in any calendar quarter of the preceding calendar year is exempt from the minimum wage and overtime pay provisions of the FLSA for the current calendar year. A "man day" is defined as any day during which an employee performs agricultural work for at least one hour.
Additional exemptions from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Act for agricultural employees apply to the following:
- Agricultural employees who are immediate family members of their employer
- Those principally engaged on the range in the production of livestock
- Local hand harvest laborers who commute daily from their permanent residence, are paid on a piece rate basis in traditionally piece-rated occupations, and were engaged in agriculture less than thirteen weeks during the preceding calendar year
- Non-local minors, 16 years of age or under, who are hand harvesters, paid on a piece rate basis in traditionally piece-rated occupations, employed on the same farm as their parent, and paid the same piece rate as those over 16.
