From the transcript
Anyone else? So I dove into this quite a bit, um, after our last meeting about what comp time would require and how comp time is used, accrued and maxed out. Um, I contacted the attorney because first I did not feel as though the original version of this was legal, um, as we are dictating to our employees whether they could take comp time or choose overtime, which is in our code.
