Summary:
A number of proposals have surfaced during recent years to amend the overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This report is limited to consideration of comp time. Following a brief introduction of the general issue, it examines the Gregg and Biggert proposals and assesses the questions that have been raised, pro and con, with respect to compensatory time: essentially, the substitution of comp time for payment of cash wages for hours worked beyond the 40-hour weekly standard under the FLSA. This report examines the Biggert bill (H.R. 1119) and the appropriate segment of theGregg bill (S. 317) from the 108th Congress - the last attempt to deal with the issuein a single legislative format.
