when can you use comp time
The only difference is that with âcomp time,â workers donât get the time-and-a-half pay they would with overtime. âComp timeâ isnât âpaid leaveâ in the traditional sense, because now the employee is the one paying. â¦and more flexibility to employers. Say you want to take your comp days off. You go to your boss and request an afternoon off to take care of a sick child, for instance. Under âcomp time,â the boss can deny your request outright.
