other State laws affecting women, and applicable to occupations for
which minimum wage rates are in effect, are included in an appendix
to this bulletin.
As indicated, minimum wage laws and orders in over two-thirds
of the States apply to men as well as women or women and minors.

Many State minimum wage laws and orders include supplementary
provisions designed to safeguard the basic minimum wage rates.
Among these supplementary provisions are requirements governing:
overtime pay and minimum daily wage; extra pay for split shifts and
long overall spread of hours; minimum meal and rest periods; pay
for waiting time and travel time; handling of tips and gratuities;
maximum deductions for meals, lodging, and uniforms; and other
special provisions affecting w orking conditions. This bulletin gives
detailed information on the supplementary provisions in effect as of
September 1, 1966.
In many States with minimum wage laws, these supplementary
provisions have been established by wage orders for individual
industries and occupations. In some States they are provided in
the minimum wage statute itself. Similar provisions established by
