The bill, titled the "Working Families Flexibility Act of 2024," proposes changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to allow private sector employees to choose compensatory time off instead of overtime pay. Employees can opt for one and a half hours of leave for each overtime hour...
Simple Explanation
The bill suggests a new rule where people working in private companies can choose to get more time off instead of extra money for working overtime, but there are rules in place to make sure everyone is treated fairly and bosses don't take advantage. It's like saying if you work extra hours, you can pick either extra money or a little more vacation time.
