§ 45129 Compensatory Time For Overtime

• •If you work extra hours, your boss can give you time off instead of extra pay.
• •You must get that time off within 12 months after working the extra hours.
• •Your boss can't give you time off if it messes up the work your team does.

You work 10 extra hours this month to finish a big project.

Your boss can let you take 10 hours off later instead of paying you extra, but you have to use that time off within the next year. They also can't let you take the time off if it means your team won't have enough people to do their jobs.
