On the recordJuly 30, 1996
if my colleagues want to make the workplace more family friendly, I urge them to vote for the Working Families Flexibility Act. This bill provides working mothers and fathers with the choice of comp time pay or overtime pay. This option empowers employees to balance family needs and career needs. Mr. Chairman, there are some things that money simply cannot buy: time with your children, your parents, or your spouse. Comp time allows workers to choose more of all these things. If Members believe that Congress should live under the same laws that govern the private sector, vote for the Working Families Flexibility Act. Since 1985, Federal, State, and local governments have been able to offer their employees comp time. Do not private sector employees have the same option? This bill says yes. Support the Working Families Flexibility Act for our families, our workers, and our children.
