H.R.2870

Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to allow private sector employees to choose compensatory time off instead of overtime pay.

Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to allow private sector employees to choose to receive compensatory time off instead of monetary overtime compensation. Employees can accrue up to 160 hours of compensatory time. Employers can stop offering compensatory time with 30 days' notice and must pay employees for unused time. The Secretary of Labor must revise materials to reflect these changes. The bill also mandates reports from the Comptroller General on the use of compensatory time and related employee complaints and enforcement actions.
