I'm not complaining about anything.Paragraph 6 days they have to give them the higher of current wages or previous wages. That's good.
Now you are complaining that a company could make someone take OT pay as opposed to comp time? I thought the complaint was they could give comp time as opposed to OT?
I don't see it that way. I see the compensation if time isn't taken is at their regular rate but it would be for, as an example, 12 hours if they worked 8 hours of overtime since the time off would have been at a rate of 12 hours compensatory time.The only issue I see is that as far as I can tell the comp time does not accrue at 1.5 times normal time, meaning the employee is still losing out on 'money'. I can also see how despite the law saying you can't pressure employees into taking comp time... plenty of places are going to do exactly that.
That being said, some people would genuinely prefer more time off as opposed to more money and giving them the option isn't bad. I wish I had more faith in the administration actually doing the enforcement necessary to prevent this from being abused.

Except a company could make you take pay as comp time, then never actually take the time off. Thus going for time and half to zero time. At least I think that is the fear.
I just read the bill, and it looks damn good to me, actually. I have a natural distrust of republicans messing with labor laws, and with the dems fighting it hard there might be a catch I'm missing. But it looks like it is 100% employee's choice for comp time or pay, the comp time accrues at time and half, there are responsible max accruals, and unused comp time has to be paid out.
Really this is very similar to many companies policies for exempt engineers (except no time and half for engies). I personally always preferred comp time, unless I was working a ton of OT at once.
Does any one know what the Dems have against this?
Comp time could also be great for people that work unpredictable jobs where they could be working 7/12s one month, then have no work and no hours the next month.
When will the middle class stop winning.
Not vague at allSee post #17 but yes it's still vague

An employee may receive, in accordance with this subsection and in lieu of monetary overtime compensation, compensatory time off at a rate not less than one and one-half hours for each hour of employment for which overtime compensation is required by this section
Bingo!! I already barely can take off enough time to keep from loosing leave. I don't think people realize how few people are employed that are doing all the work.They'll pay you out in comp time, which you won't be able to collect on since they'll never grant you your time off.
Now wonder this countries going to shit. Like working more than 40 hours a week will kill you.Considering I would never ever work a job where I was "forced" to work more than 40 hours even if I was paid for it, if I was, I'd much rather have PTO than 1.5x my pay. People in this country already work way too much. I already have a very healthy work/life balance and have worked more than 40 hours a week exactly 2 times, and I was compensated for it, but it is also a huge reason I left that company - because they had terrible project managers who didn't know how to plan and schedule things.
No wonder this country is full of fat asses who are depressed and unhappy. No wonder the family life in this country is now in the shitter. All they do is work and never get to enjoy their free time to do stuff they enjoy and spend time with family.Now wonder this countries going to shit. Like working more than 40 hours a week will kill you.

I'm not totally sure how folks can get screwed here either. This is basically how it already works for the Federal Govt. workers except better(1.5 hrs comp / hour instead of 1).
Either the Union accepts it as a CBA, or the employee voluntarily accepts it but not as a condition of employment(I guess this is where people might get screwed despite this not being a condition of employment technically?).
Taking the bill at face value it seems fine. Not sure how reality will play out.
Trump:
“My people are so smart,” “And you know what else they say about my people? … They say I have the most loyal people.”
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters.
"It's, like, incredible."
How they'll get screwed is either:
1) It will be nearly impossible to use the accrued time off
2) It will be frowned upon to use the time off
3) They remove some vacation time to make using the worked time off easier
We've been down this road 70-80 years ago we know how it ends why try again and hope for a different result.
Edit: Imaging what happens when big data figures out people can be worked over time when its busy and worked fewer hours (forced to use earned time off) when its not busy. The scheduling could get very ugly.
Those Rust Belt voters who flipped their states red must feel really good about this...they finally get to stick it to their evil union bosses who keep fighting for better pay and overtime rules!

No shit now that Facebook is fighting fake news it's back to the 700 Club for instructions on how to think.

But...but...union dues!It's always amazing to me when I see people lament the decline of manufacturing jobs because they are a means why which someone with little education can earn a good living and then simultaneously argue against unions. Did anyone stop and think WHY manufacturing jobs pay more where's nothing inherent in manufacturing that would make it that way? I'll give them a hint: unions.
