May employees arrange with their employers to make up lost hours or days during their (40 hour) workweek and avoid losing pay?
Yes, under the new rules in affected orders and at the discretion of the employer, employees can make up hours lost by working additional hours on another day during that workweek. Previously, most employee requests for make-up time for lost hours were denied because employers have been mandated to pay time and one-half for the hours that employees worked over eight hours in a single day. The new rule will remove this deterrence to allowing make-up time.
