| Through out the years our Board always gave "comp" time instead of overtime.as a new board took over I as (President) think this is not leagal.Laws state over 40 hr week it is considered over time. Giving comp time is a pain the secratary ha sto keep a log, and the men come in and take half days here and there.....any thoughts on this? |

Laverne:
I don't know the legalities of it, however, several state institutions give the option of taking comp time as opposed to overtime pay, I just can't remember and don't know if they can mandate one or the other. The current place I am working is a corporation but they give comp time as opposed to overtime pay. |

LaverneB: Are you speaking of an HOA or COA being the actual Employer and having Employees ("the men come in and take half days...") on the payroll?

If you go into the business world, you will find that many corporations have gone to comp time rather than overtime. One reason is insurance and extra social security which is taxed on overtime wages. It is a money saving means for employers. |

Laverne,
I agree with you especially in such a small type of business as a HOA. The overtime cannot be that much that it costs the association. BUT maybe , because of already having a set amount budgeted, there is no funding for overtime? That is a possibility? |

| in most states, comp time instead of overtime is illegal for hourly workers. what you do with salaried workers is typically less regulated. laws are getting tighter and tighter on hourly workers, pay rates, breaks, etc.. |

| I can confirm that comp time vs. OT for hourly workers is illegal in most states. Salaried individuals usually don't get comp time and are not eligible since the salaried worker is required to be paid exactly the same whether they work 80 hours or 20 hours a week. Be very careful with this, most corporations have wisely done away with it due to legalities and lawsuits. Just takes ONE employee who is dissatisfied and learns their rights. |
