peer agreement (net): +1compensation time (as opposed to overtime) Explanation: ========== We give one day of comp time for a weekend required event http://www.aamse.org/Members/documents/NSComptimeSurvey2008.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2009-06-23 12:46:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- also called "comp time" Time off in lieu; compensatory time; or comp time me off in lieu; compensatory time; or comp time refers to a type of work schedule arrangement that allows workers to take time off instead of, or in addition to, receiving overtime pay. A worker may receive overtime pay plus equal time off for each hour worked on certain agreed days, such as Bank Holidays. In the United States, such arrangements are currently illegal for private sector workers under overtime laws, but the practice is legal in the public sector.[3] For example, under current overtime laws in the U.S., non-exempt workers must receive one and one half times their normal hourly wage for every hour worked beyond 40 hours in a work week. So, if a worker clocks 48 hours in one week, then he would receive pay equivalent to 52 hours of work (40 hours + 8 hours at 1.5 times the normal hourly wage). Comp time would permit the worker in this example to forego the 12 hours of overtime pay and instead take 12 paid hours off at some future date. In Australia, Public sector workers are paid 1.5 times their hourly wage for the first 2 hours of overtime with any additional overtime paid at double time. A minimum of 4 hours of overtime is paid. For example, an on call microbiology scientist called in for an urgent microscopy which will take 20 minutes will be paid for 4 hours of overtime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime |
