SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
§ 11(d) authorizes the Secretary of Labor
to regulate, restrict, or prohibit
industrial homework as necessary to
prevent evasion of the minimum wage
requirements of the Act. Restrictions
exist on seven homework industries,
(knitted outerwear, women’s apparel,
jewelry manufacturing, gloves and
mittens, button and buckle
manufacturing, handkerchief
manufacturing, and embroideries). DOL
permits individual industrial homework
in these restricted industries only if a
special homework certificate is in effect
or in certain hardship cases. Homework
has always been permitted under the
FLSA in all other industries; provided,
the employer maintains homeworker
handbooks for such employees
recording their hours of work and other
required payroll information. Form
WH–46, Application to Employ
Homeworkers, provides the Wage Hour
Division (WHD) with a means of
identifying employers of homeworkers,
and individual workers, in the restricted
industries who may not be identified
otherwise. The Piece Rate Measurement
requires that employers record and
retain documentation of the method
used to establish pieces rates is
necessary so that WHD can verify that
rates were properly determined and will
result in wage payments to
homeworkers at a rate at least equal to
the FLSA minimum wage for all hours
worked in the work week. Form WH–75,
Homeworker Handbook is used to
insure that employers fulfill their
obligation to obtain and record accurate
hours worked information whenever

they distribute homework to employees
and collect it from them, homeworkers
record the information as they perform
the work. Individual homeworkers
retain their own handbooks until
completely filled-in and then return
them to the employer. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through August 31, 2006.
II. Review Focus
The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions
The Department of Labor seeks
approval for the extension of this
information collection in order to insure
employees are paid in compliance with
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
