Need for the Document

• An industrial homeworker is any employee employed or suffered or permitted to perform industrial homework for an employer.

• Industrial homework, as defined by the regulations, means the production by any person in or about a home, apartment, tenement, or room in a residential establishment of goods for an employer who suffers or permits such production, regardless of the source (whether obtained from an employer or elsewhere) of the material used by the homeworker in such production.

Information which might help

• Two different types of certificates are issued by the Wage and Hour Division - an individual industrial homeworker certificate which authorizes a specific individual to perform homework in a restricted industry because of certain circumstances impacting that employee's ability to work outside the home (i.e., use Form WH-2); and an employer homeworker certificate that authorizes an employer to employ homeworkers in a particular restricted industry, except women's apparel. No employer homeworker certificates may be issued for the women's apparel industry (i.e., use Form WH-46).

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
