comp time

A quick definition of comp time:

Term: Comp Time

Definition: Comp time is when an employee is given time off from work instead of getting paid extra money for working overtime. This time off is also called compensatory time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Comp time is time off from work that an employee can take instead of being paid for overtime already worked. It is also known as compensatory time.

  • An employee works 10 hours of overtime in a week and is given 10 hours of comp time to use at a later date instead of being paid for the overtime.
  • A nurse works an extra shift and is given comp time to use for a future day off instead of being paid for the extra hours worked.

These examples illustrate how comp time works. Instead of receiving extra pay for working overtime, the employee is given time off to use at a later date. This can be beneficial for employees who value time off more than extra pay.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
19:12
Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
