Bill overview
The Working Families Flexibility Act of 2021 aims to give private sector employees more flexibility in how they receive compensation for overtime work. It allows employers to offer compensatory time off – time off earned in lieu of overtime pay – at a rate of 1.5 hours for every hour worked that requires overtime. The bill establishes rules around when and how compensatory time can be offered and used, while also protecting employees from employer pressure to accept or use it, and outlines penalties for employers who violate these rules.
