On the recordMarch 19, 1997
some union members from my hometown in Janesville, WI, particularly those that work in an automobile manufacturing plant, have expressed concern to me that their employer might require them to bank overtime hours and then use the hours at a specified time by the company, particularly during the 2-week period of time each year when the plant shuts down for model changeover. My understanding is that under H.R. 1 the use of comp time is voluntary and that by ``voluntary'' means that the employer, whether an automobile manufacturer or some other type of company, would not be able to require that comp time, if chosen by the employee, be taken at a set period such as model changeover; is that correct?
