If you had a choice in getting paid overtime or getting comp time - which would you choose? A bill recently approved by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce aims to give workers that choice, but will it benefit the employees or the employers? Here's this 7 On Your Side Consumer Watch. Most people spend more time working than they do with their own families, but if the Family Time Flexibility Act is passed that may not be the case anymore. So, would you choose comp time or overtime? “Paid time off because when you're working no matter how much money you're getting you're not having as much fun as you could when you're on vacation," says William Garmany of Spartanburg. Whether it's vacation or simply taking care of family business Republicans say it would offer workers a choice to accrue compensatory time off. “Sometimes they'd rather have the comp time rather than the money because raising children myself and knowing what I had to go through sometimes it's important to know that you can take some time if you want to be with them," says Wanda Cooper who works in retail. "But does your comp time get compensated at time and a half?" asks Terry Mitchell. The answer is yes - you'd get one point five hours for anything beyond 40 hours a week, but opponents of the bill say employees will work longer hours and lose money. "From a management standpoint they probably would try to dictate to you when you could take it, but from their standpoint sometimes they have to, to a certain extent," says Cooper. Some believe giving workers a choice will make for happier employees. Under the bill workers would be able to accrue up to 160 hours of comp time annually and if there is any unused time at the end of the year companies would have to pay the employee cash. The bill is currently on the general calendar.
