Under the Republican proposal, companies and individual employees could agree that their overtime work would instead be rewarded with comp time.' This is from the link. The employee does have a choice. Come on dude... I would love to offer comp time instead of overtime. Do you know how much extra it costs in just not wages but taxes and bennies? Trust me dude, I am an employer, this can be put into the company policy manual where employees will have to take comp time. Shit the City is doing it now.

As long as both are on board and can have input it's good to have more clarity in the law. 32 minutes ago, BOHICA said: I read it is can be used for up to 160 hours paid off. I was hoping it would be more.... was hoping for several months off. But a month off in addition to whatever else paid time of is a great deal.... or you can take the pay instead. Your choice!!! https://www.google.com/amp/thehill.com/regulation/labor/331645-house-passes-comp-time-bill%3Famp The GOP legislation would allow private-sector companies to offer workers a choice between "comp time" and overtime pay. Workers could save as much as 160 hours - or about one month's worth - of paid time off. At the end of the year, their companies would pay them for any time off they don't use. Employees would not be forced to take time off, if they prefer to cash in a bigger paycheck, Roby said. as long as the companies truly involve workers in the decision it's a good thing. lots of jobs have slow and busy seasons and allowing employers and workers to work out legal ways to address that and flatten income and expense ups and down may be better for both.

Trust me dude, I am an employer, this can be put into the company policy manual where employees will have to take comp time. Shit the City is doing it now. One of our local marinas does similar for their people. During spring launch and fall haul out their guys work 6 and sometimes 7 days a week. Just about all of them bank those hours rather than take the money. During the winter when things are close to dead they avoid seasonal lay offs and they are able to collect their regular pay cheque while working part weeks. They have a fair bit of work from customers who want things done in the off season but not enough to keep everyone busy for full weeks. The business and the employees are quite happy with the arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
