H.R. 1180 – Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017 (Rep. Roby, R-AL, and 17 cosponsors)
May 2, 2017
(House)
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H.R. 1180 – Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017
(Rep. Roby, R-AL, and 17 cosponsors)
The Administration supports H.R. 1180, the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017. H.R. 1180 would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to allow private-sector employers to give their employees the choice to receive paid time off instead of cash payments for each hour of time for which overtime compensation would otherwise be required. The bill would extend to private-sector workers a choice that public-sector employees have long enjoyed.
H.R. 1180 would help American workers balance the competing demands of family and work by giving them flexibility to earn paid time off—time they can later use for any reason, including family commitments like attending school appointments and caring for a sick child. In addition, H.R. 1180 contains critical protections to ensure employees can continue to choose overtime pay and to prohibit employers from coercing their employees to accept compensatory time instead of overtime pay.
If H.R. 1180 were presented to the President in its current form, his advisors would recommend that he sign the bill into law.

The measure, backed by Republicans, would let employers give workers 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.
FAKE NEWS!.
Getting time off ?
WHERES THE FREGGIN OUTRAGE ?

It's essentially saying that a private employer can choose to allow employees to take their 'pay' for an extra hour worked as time-and-a-half pay, or as an hour and a half of time off, up to a maximum of 160 hours time off. The employer may offer the option, but cannot force it; if the employee wants the pay, he/she gets the pay. Everything not used in a year must be paid within 31 days, and everything accrued must also be paid upon any termination for any reason.
“(1) GENERAL RULE.—An employee may receive, in accordance with this subsection and in lieu of monetary overtime compensation, compensatory time off at a rate not less than one and one-half hours for each hour of employment for which overtime compensation is required by this section.

What about that headline / article to you summed up anything to do with your thread title / summary?
This should be HOAX'ed or something.
