Comp Time for Private Sector?

The House of Representatives on May 2 voted to allow most employers to offer compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay when nonexempt employees work more than 40 hours in a week. The Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017 would not require comp time, but would make the option available for both employers and employees.Under the legislation, employees of organizations choosing to offer comp time would have a choice: either voluntarily bank one-and-a-half hours of unpaid leave or take the usual time-and-a-half overtime pay.

There are more details to the legislation but let's wait to see what the Senate does.
