Steny Hoyer: “Where it is is not articulated in the bill, but you don't say if there are two employees in the example I have given…”

Where it is is not articulated in the bill, but you don't say if there are two employees in the example I have given, Madam Chair, whether or not the employer can say: Employee A, you are going to take some comp time, so would you work an hour and a half or 2 hours overtime? But Employee B, I know you can't afford to do that, you have got to be home with your child, and if you are going to work, you need the overtime to pay, perhaps, for the extra childcare. There is nothing in your bill that precludes the employer from doing that; is there? I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
