Why This Matters
The Working Families Flexibility Act of 2025 lets private sector employees choose time off instead of extra pay for overtime work. This change aims to give workers more flexibility in managing their time.
If you work overtime in the private sector, you could choose to take time off instead of getting paid extra.
