What is the difference between overtime and compensatory time?
Nonexempt employees are entitled to earn overtime. However, upon mutual agreement between the employee and the supervisor, a nonexempt employee may receive compensatory time in lieu of overtime. Both overtime and compensatory time accrues at the rate of 1 ½ for each one hour of overtime/compensatory time worked.
