There's no place for government in this matter. This is a contract that must be agreed on by employers and employees.
This shouldn't be up to congress to decide, but rather the individual employer.
This should be between employers/employees. Some workers are happy with comp time, some aren't. It should be their decision.
Instead of comp time change overtime from 1.5x to 1.75x to2x after 40 hours. It would make companies think twice about over working their employees and hire more workers and reduce unemployment.
The government should not make this decision. The companies and employees should.
If this provides employer latitude from work rules the Govt really should never have subsumed to itself, then the employer and employee are winners, not to mention the taxpayers who would see less costs of regulation, enforcement and litigation.
You don't have to have a say in everything that goes on. You work for us.
Not the place of the government to regulate this. It's the individual business.
Compensation should be an agreement between employers and employees. The government should not be involved.
Workers can build up a reserve for use when they need time off and allows employers to forecast labor cost better.
Get government out of the relationship between employers and employees.
If the employee/employer agree that comp time is acceptable, in lieu of overtime pay, then the government should no longer stand in the way. Amend it.
Already covered by union contracts. Lack of bill might empower growth in union membership.
