Comp-Time Bill Advances in House
Employers now required to pay some workers overtime would be able to offer paid time off instead under legislation approved by a House panel.
The bill, agreed to by a House Workforce subcommittee, is the latest GOP effort to revamp overtime pay requirements.
The House bill would loosen provisions that mandate paid overtime. It currently is illegal for private firms to offer comp time instead of overtime to workers who aren’t exempt from the law.
The full House committee will take up the bill next week. House leaders want a floor vote in May.
