Workplace Flexibility versus Unpaid Leave
National Center for Policy Analysis [NCPA] 
[Opinion] June 10, 2009
Excerpt: Rather than relying on costly mandates like the FMLA, the government should consider policies that increase workplace flexibility. For instance, many employees would prefer to receive compensatory time off in lieu of overtime pay, but the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires overtime work to be compensated with time-and-a-half cash wages. This means that employees who work extra hours one week are unable to offset those hours with comp time in a subsequent week. Since the 1970s, federal and state employees have been allowed to substitute comp time off in lieu of overtime wages. Private sector workers should have similar options.
