Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow private-sector employees to choose between receiving overtime pay or taking compensatory time off (paid time off instead of extra pay) when they work more than 40 hours per week, giving workers and employers more flexibility in how overtime is handled. The change would apply to most private-sector workers but would require clear written agreements between employees and employers before any arrangement takes effect. This differs from current federal law, which generally requires employers to pay overtime wages rather than offer time off as an alternative.
