What the document says

“Congress should enact the Working Families Flexibility Act.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 587

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.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 587
That sentence, in plain words

Congress should pass this bill. Workers could take time off instead of extra pay.

What this is about

Extra hours are usually paid as overtime. This bill would let workers take time off instead. The book wants it passed.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
