You are thinking of what is called compensatory or "comp" time which is accrued by some FLSA exempt (e.g. salaried) workers for any time they work over 40 hours in a given seven day period.
Non-exempt workers must be paid for overtime.
In Lieu means, in place ofsome employee take time off work equal amount of overtime they have worked instead of paying them .this is mean.
In the USA, only government agencies can offer comp time in lieu of overtime: 1.5 hours off for every 1 hour of overtime worked. The agency cannot offer it without a published written policy.
Lieu leave, often referred to as "compensatory leave," is a type of time off granted to employees who have worked extra hours or on holidays, allowing them to take time off in lieu of the additional work. This practice helps ensure that employees are compensated for their time while also providing them an opportunity to rest. It is commonly used in sectors where overtime or holiday work is frequent. The specific policies regarding lieu leave can vary by employer and jurisdiction.
(in the US) ALL employers (provate and government) must abide by the minimum wage and hour laws established by the federal giovernment. Some, however, do offer time off (compensatory time off) in lieu of paying an actual overtime salary. However the comp time off must be equal to the the employees time and half wages (i.e.: 1 and 1/2 hours off for every 1 hour of overtime worked).
In Lieu Of usually refers to time off that a worker can expect to have in the near future.
In general, for Texas it is illegal to offer comp time to workers rather than paying them overtime. Overtime is governed by federal, not state laws, and can be reviewed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime.
The company remunerated their spokesman. It was difficult to remunerate the sports star. There was no way to remunerate the star. I was remunerated for my quote in the company brochure.
This is usually at the discretion of your manager if you are a salaried employee. If your schedule permits it, try to take the lieu time right after earning it. Otherwise it may seem like you're banking extra vacation time.Some salaried jobs come with an expectation of a certain amount of overtime but often this runs over into chronic overtime or certain periods of extended overtime. If you don't get some sort of compensation for the extra time, do the math and calculate your hourly salary and you'll soon see that you should be getting paid a lot more for the time or you should be getting if off in lieu.Also, check with your local labour laws to see if your type of job qualifies for overtime pay.
You will have to check the specific wording of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). It MAY depend on your occupation, salary status, duties, title, etc., but - as a general rule, yes, they can probably do that. Re: comp time earned as O/T when working in excess of 40 hours - - if your company offers time-and-a-half or double-time pay for O/T then the comp time they credit you with MUST also be calculated and given at the same rate. (e.g.: one hour of time-and-a-half pay would be equal to one and one half hours comp time off, - - one hour of double-time pay would be equal to TWO hours comp time off.)
The term lieu comes from 'Old French' and basically the term in lieu means in place of or instead off. For example, Tom received a bag of apples in lieu of a cash payments.
no.
Although the question is nonsensical in part, an employer can require you to do overtime if that is what the job needs. However, if overtime is not needed, you do not work it; overtime is not a part of the job, so you are not taking anything off.
