# §780.301. Other pertinent statutory provisions.

- (a) **Man-day is defined by section 3(u) of the Act as follows—**
- (b) Under section 3(e) of the Act the term employee does not include certain individuals in determining mandays of labor. [Section 3(e)](/cfr/29/3.md?p=e) provides that:
- (c) The legislative history of the 1966 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act indicates that the Congress in enacting minimum wage protection ([section 6(a)(5)](/cfr/29/6.md?p=a-5)) for agriculture workers for the first time sought to provide a minimum wage floor for the farmworkers on large farms or agri-business enterprises. The [section 13(a)(6)(A)](/cfr/29/13.md?p=a-6-A) exemption was intended to exempt those farmworkers on the smaller or familysize farms. In keeping with this intention, a labor requirement of 500 man-days was incorporated into the exemption, and certain workers were specifically excluded from the man-day count, as provided in [section 3(e)](/cfr/29/3.md?p=e) (1) and (2).
