    Description: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201 et 
seq., sections 14(b)(1) and 14(b)(2) require the Secretary of Labor to 
provide certificates authorizing the employment of full-time students 
at 85 percent of the applicable minimum wage in retail or service 
establishments and in agriculture, to the extent necessary to prevent 
curtailment of opportunities for employment. These provisions set 
limits on such employment as well as prescribe safeguards to protect 
the full-time students so employed and full-time employment 
opportunities of other workers. Sections 519.3, 519.4 and 519.6 of 
Regulations, 29 CFR part 519, Employment of Full-Time Students at 
Subminimum Wages, set forth the application requirements as well as the 
terms and conditions for the (1) employment of full-time students at 
subminimum wages under certificates and (2) temporary authorization to 
employ such students at subminimum wages. The WH-200 and WH-202 are 
voluntary use forms that are prepared and signed by an authorized 
representative of the employer to employ full-time students at 
subminimum wage. This information is used to determine whether a retail 
or service or agricultural employer should be authorized to pay 
subminimum wages to full-time students pursuant to the provisions of 
section 14(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Darrin A. King,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
