How often have you been asked by your program director to report to work a couple of hours late on the next day after you ran into overtime on a certain day because the client refused to return home in time to finish your shift and go home? Unless you, as the employee, agree to do so, this practice is entirely illegal! No-one can force you to take compensatory time off in lieu of overtime work.
Compensating time off in lieu of overtime pay.
The provisions of chapter 49.46 RCW requiring one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 per week does not apply to any person who requests compensating time off in lieu of overtime pay. Therefore, compensating time may be as agreed upon by the employer and the individual employee at the request of the employee, but may not be imposed by the employer in lieu of overtime pay upon any employee who has not so requested such compensating time off.
