§ 50-210.1   Coverage under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act of truck drivers employed by oil dealers.

top

(a) The Division of Public Contracts returns to the interpretation contained in Rulings and Interpretations No. 2¹ with respect to coverage under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act of truck drivers employed by oil dealers, by amending section 40(e)(1) of Rulings and Interpretations No. 3¹ to read as follows:

¹ Not filed with the Office of the Federal Register.

(1) Where the contractor is a dealer, the act applies to employees at the central distributing plant, including warehousemen, compounders, and chemists testing the lot out of which the Government order is filled, the crews engaged in loading the materials in vessels, tank cars or tank wagons for shipment, and truck drivers engaged in the activities described in section 37(m) above.² However, the contractor is not required to show that the employees at the bulk stations, including truck drivers, are employed in accordance with the standards of the act. (Bulk stations as the term is used herein are intermediate points of storage between a central distributing plant and service stations.)

² Refers to Rulings and Interpretation No. 3.
