Working Families Flexibility Act of 2025

This bill would change federal wage law so that private-sector employees could choose paid time off instead of overtime pay, for a 5-year period. Workers would earn at least 1.5 hours of time off for each overtime hour, and could build up no more than 160 hours. To qualify, a worker must have worked at least 1,000 hours for the employer in the past 12 months, and the choice must be made through a union contract or a voluntary written agreement with the employer. Employers would have to pay out unused time at the end of each year, when a worker leaves the job, or within 30 days of a written request, and could not pressure workers to choose or use the time off. The bill also requires updated worker notices and yearly reports to Congress on how the program is used and enforced.
