HARDI Applauds Passing of the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) applauded the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2017 (H.R. 1180).
H.R. 1180 was introduced to reform outdated federal labor rules and extend workplace flexibility to more Americans. Introduced by Rep. Martha Roby (R-Alabama), the legislation would allow private-sector employers to offer employees who are eligible for overtime pay a choice between paid time off on cash wages. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced the Senate version of the bill (S. 233). The bill includes strong protections to ensure that the decision to choose comp time is voluntary.
