Wage-Hour Law Applies To Some In Wood Industry The new “forestry or logging” operations exemption under the Federal Wage and Hour Law is an exemption from the law’s min imum wage and overtime provi sons, but not an exemption from the law’s child labor provisions. This fact was emphasized today in a special statement received from Forrest H. Shuford, North Carolina Commissioner of Lab or, who administraters the Wage Hour Law in this State under a special agreement with the Fe deral Wage and Hour Adminis tration. ' In his statement Shuford expl ained that most sawmilling and lumbering operations in North Carolina are covered by the Wage and Hour Law which, following the amendments which became effective on January 25, requir es payment of at least 75 cents an hour to all covered workers and worked in excess of 40 per week. “The provisions of this Feder al Law apply to all establish ments which are covered,” Com missioner Shuford said. “Saw mills and lumbering establish ments which produce or process materials which eventually move We Can Save You Money On Your Stumping and Ditching Dynamite.

In cases where the pro duct is sold to another party who, sells it out of the State either directly or after it has then the original sawmill or lum bering establishment also is cov ered by the Wage and Hour Law.” EXEMPTION The Labor Coccissioner expla ined that workers in foretsry or logging operations in which not more than 12 workers are emp loyed by the same employer are exempt from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the law, but not from the child lab or provisions. The exemption ap plies only to woods operations,! he said, and does not apply to work in sawmills. CH11-.U j_,A£SUtt “Employers of 12 or less work ers engaged in exempt forestry or logging work should remem ber that the child labor provis ions of the Wage and Hour Law remain in effect at all times,” Commissioner Shuford pointed out. “This means that employers of forestry or logging crews must continue to observe the Wage-Hour Law provisions which set a minimum age of 18 years for all woods jobs except those which are not declared to be hazardous for young workers. “The non-hazardous jobs in logging operations — for which the Wage-Hour Law sets a min imum age of 16 years — include timber crusing; transit man, rod man, and chain man in survey ing parties; some types of repair or maintenance jobs; work aro und a cook house; removing of bark from logs, if done away from hazardous work; fire pat rolman or look-out; stableman or hostler; and office work." Commissioner Shuford added that employers may protect themselves from unintentional child labor violations by having on hand employment certificat es showing that young workers in their employ are above the legal age required for th jobs thy hold. These employment cer tificats may be secured from the local County Superintendent, he said.
