My company offers employees the opportunity to earn comp time in lieu of overtime pay. However, we are required to work over 44 hours a week before comp time will begin accruing. So, if I was to work 45 hours in a week, I will have earned 1 hour of comp time. Are there any laws saying that it has to be over 44 hours? It would seem fair if it was anything over 40 was considered comp time. I have heard of the Taft-Hartley Act, but I am unsure of how to address this issue with the Directors at my place of employment.
