control number.

This is an application for retail or service establishments or agricultural employers to obtain authority to employ up to six full-time students at subminimum wage
rates on any workday under Section 14(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The subminimum rates paid full-time students under Section 14(b) may not
be less than 85 percent of the applicable minimum wage under Section 6 of the FLSA. The term “employer” as used by this application means the highest
structure of ownership or control and hence, may be more than one establishment or farm, i.e., the controlling conglomerate or enterprise would be the
“employer.” Thus, the limit of six full-time students applies to the “employer” and not to each establishment or farm in the enterprise or business. Those
seeking to employ more than six full-time students at subminimum wages throughout a single enterprise or business should complete and submit WH
Form 200 (Application for Authority to Employ Full-Time Students at Subminimum Wages in Retail or Service Establishments or Agriculture). Temporary authority
to employ full-time students at subminimum wages is effective when this form is properly completed and forwarded to the address listed above. This temporary
authority may be effective for a period of up to one year, provided that within 30 days of the forwarding, the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division does not
deny the application, issue a certificate with modified terms or conditions, or expressly extend the 30-day period of review. See reverse for more information about
temporary authority. Please submit one copy of the completed form to the address shown above. Retain a completed copy for your records. A certificate may not be
granted unless a properly completed application has been received and approved.
