For me it was an eye opener. For example, just because someone is salary does not mean they are exempt from OT pay. Another part was that comp time is not a replacement for overtime pay. If you are non-exempt, you are stilll due OT even if your employer gives you comp time. Of course, before confronting an employer you should contact the Wage and Hour divison of the Labor Department to find out for sure whether you are exempt or non-exempt.

Heres how we do ours. Comp time: If you work one hour you get 1.5 hours back in return. Comp time is used before any other time that you have (annual/sick/personal day). Comp time is easier to get approved on short notice, like if you decide at lunch that you want to take the rest of the day off and you have the comp time for it, then most likely it will not be a problem. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Jordan [mailto:Chris.Jordan@;cmg.com] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 9:11 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Comp Time Question Nope. You have to work an EXTRA 4 hours to fix all the problems you introduced in the first 4 hours. We are professionals you know.... getting paid for what we do is purely a bonus! :-) -----Original Message----- From: Brian Dugas [mailto:brian@;summit-technical.com] Sent: 28 October 2002 15:07 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Comp Time Question Does anyone know if there is a standard policy out there for Comp Time? I have been asked to find out what other companies do to compensate their employees For working off hours(nights, weekends), beyond their normal workweek. Example: If I have to come in on a Saturday to install a new antivirus package and it take 4 hours, do I get 4 hours off during the week or what?
