Congress Votes to Change Overtime Laws

Allow Employers to Offer Comp Time Instead

Changes may be coming for the millions of American workers who receive overtime pay. And it may affect their paychecks.

A new bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives would allow employers to offer hourly employees paid time off instead of overtime pay, when they reach over 40 hours in a workweek. So, for example, a worker who put in 45 hours one week, could be given seven and one-half hours off the next week (1.5 hours comp time for each hour of overtime), and paid for doing for working 40 hours but only having worked 32.5 hours.
