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.
