House Repugnicunts take a swipe at overtime pay.

It's bullshit, but I doubt it has legs.
Why is working overtime better than paid time off?

They cannot even afford their current vacation time. More vacation time is essentially useless. Paid time off is nice and all, but if all you can afford to do is stay home and watch TV, it feels pretty meaningless. It's unfortunate that many people don't make enough to make ends meet with a single full time job without overtime, but there it is. 
As a farmer, I'm not guaranteed minimum wage or overtime. Or holidays/vacation.
And in 242 days, possibly no health insurance. Still get to pay property and drainage taxes, even if I don't raise a thing, however. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Instead, you get to go home. Here, overtime pay isn't required, but most employers will pay 1.5x-2x an employee's hourly rate if they work more than 40 hours. Suppose you make $15/hour. This is $600 for a 40 hour work week. If you and your employer agree to 2x the hourly and you work 45 hours, you'll gross $800 for that week. Under the scheme proposed above, if you work 45 hours, your gross will be $675, but you'll be awarded five extra vacation hours, for a total of gross of $750 (assuming that vacation pay is the same as your hourly rate). If this happy state continues for a year, you'll lose $2600 under the proposed scheme. It wasn't clear from the article, but I suspect employees will also be required to pay for their own lube to facilitate this corporate bumfucking. Boru

Shows very clearly who own Congress. T.rump would sign it without reading it.
I would love to get either overtime pay, or time off. But when I was hourly, I would have taken the time more often then not. The option would have been nice. Although from a management perspective, I can see where the logistics of this type of system could be a pain.
If you have the work as an employer, Paying them is better than the time off. You make more money that way.

I can see your points there.
Eventually they'll pass a law saying that the employer can either pay the worker or sell him/her and buy a new one.
