§ 779.4 Pay standards for newly covered employment.
There are many employees of retailers as well as other employees
who would not be subject to the minimum wage or overtime pay
provisions of the Act as it was prior to the 1966 amendments,
either because of their individual activities or because of the
activities of the enterprise in which they are employed, but who
are brought under the minimum wage or overtime provisions, or both,
for the first time by the changed enterprise coverage provisions or
changes in exemptions, or both, which were enacted as part of the
amendments and made effective February 1, 1967. The following pay
standards apply to this newly covered employment, unless a specific
exemption has been retained or provided in the amendments; such
employees must be paid not less than the minimum wages for hours
worked and not less than one and one-half times their regular rates
of pay for overtime, as shown in the following schedule:

Beginning
$1.00 an hour
February 1, 1967.

February 1, 1969.
$1.45 an hour
February 1, 1970.
$1.60 an hour
February 1, 1971 and

In each instance where there is an increase in the minimum wage,
the new minimum wage rate becomes effective 12:01 a.m., on the date

Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa are set by wage
order under special industry committee procedures. Information on
these rates and their effective dates may be obtained at any office
of the Wage and Hour Division.)
