Republicans out here taking ya'lls overtime pay.

[Pressure]

How ya'll feel about that?

The House just passed a bill that affects overtime pay

Do you get paid for overtime work? The House of Representatives just passed a bill you may want to know about.
The measure, backed by Republicans, would let employers give workers paid time off instead of time-and-a-half pay the next time they put in extra hours. The vote tally was largely along party lines, with no Democrats voting in favor of the bill. Six Republicans also voted against it.

G.O.P. leadership has touted the legislation, called the Working Families Flexibility Act, as an attempt to codify flexibility for employees.

"I don't think there's anything more powerful than giving them more control over their time so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and their families," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington said Tuesday morning in a press conference held by Republican leaders in the House.

The Trump administration also came out in support of the measure on Tuesday. The White House said in a news release that the president's advisers would recommend Trump sign the bill into law if it was presented to him in its current form.


But Democrats stand in strong opposition. Their chief concern is that employers have the final say on when comp time can be used, which means bosses can defer compensating employees for overtime work.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts -- a Democrat who has made workers' protections her flagship cause and sits on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions -- called the bill a "disgrace" on Twitter.

That;s my only saving grace here is being on salary. But this is going to affect millions of normal and poor people. Back when I was first starting out and was getting paid hourly I would look for to that overtime in order to make ends meet.

"I'm going to need you to use that comp time before next pay period."

"Take a long lunch this week since you have comp time."

nikkas gon be trading PTO hours like food stamps now?

You gonna call up chase and pay that credit card balance with pto? Pto turning the lights back on too huh?

By the way, how does this work for wage workers? I thought the idea behind pto was that we don't have to do anything extra to earn it. If you work wages for 5 extra hours and the company gives you 5 hours of time off, they're just balancing their expense report.

They are going to be screwed that is how it is going to work. Better just be strong enough to NOT take the pto, But we all know how it will end when your manager or HR tries to get you to take it and you say no...
