Enact comp time in place of overtime pay

The bill would let private-sector employees take paid time off instead of overtime pay. The chapter groups it with proposals to exclude the cost of on-site childcare from an employee's regular rate of pay.
What the document actually says“Congress should enact the Working Families Flexibility Act.”
Congress should pass this bill. Workers could take time off instead of extra pay.
Extra hours are usually paid as overtime. This bill would let workers take time off instead. The book wants it passed.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The Working Families Flexibility Act is not in the indexed record, and no indexed document lets private-sector employees take paid time off in place of overtime pay. The nearest candidate, rule-2026-09382 of May 12, 2026, rescinds requirements in the child care subsidy program that states administer, including the cap on family co-payments and prospective payment of providers. That is a different subject from the treatment of on-site childcare costs in an employee's regular rate, which is what the chapter groups with this proposal. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
