In reply to the discussion: House Republicans have introduced a bill that would end the 40-hour work week [View all]Historic NY
(37,449 posts)17. What next a bill making emplyee's pay their employer.
Comp time doesn't work, even if your in the endless cycle in public service Even now its been looked at come retirement time. Especially when someone presents a claim for untold hours. In recent years now FEd, State & local governments are limiting the amount, requiring it to be used in a timely manner. 20-30 yrs ago it wasn't uncommon to have 100 or 200 hrs one the books now my former job limits it to 40 hrs. Its nice sometimes to take 4 hrs of and 8 hr shift and bank the time...saved some extra taxes. Comp time should be an agreed upon arrangement between management and the employeess not something mandated by congress...hell they have 239 days off this year with pay.

If you add in privatized prisons, we get a lot closer to all your sarcasm looking way too real.
