For any occupation for which no wage order issued pursuant to section 17 of this act 1 is in effect, the commissioner shall, within 6 months after the rate provided in section 5 2 is in effect, make such administrative regulations as he shall deem appropriate to carry out the purposes of this act or necessary to prevent the circumvention or evasion thereof, and to safeguard the minimum wage rates hereby established. Such regulations may include regulations defining and governing outside salesmen; learners and apprentices, their number, proportion and length of service; part-time pay; bonuses, overtime pay; special pay for special or extra work; or permitted charges to employees or allowances for board, lodging, apparel or other facilities or services customarily furnished by employers to employees; or allowances for such other special conditions or circumstances.
The commissioner shall publish such regulations as he proposes to issue and such regulations may be issued pursuant to this section only after a public hearing, subsequent to publication of notice of the hearing, at which any person may be heard.
Such administrative regulations shall remain in effect only until such time as a wage order governing the occupation or occupations concerned, and to the extent inconsistent therewith, has been promulgated and becomes effective as provided in this act.
