WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and U.S. Representative Martha Roby (R-AL) will announce the introduction of the Working Families Flexibility Act at a news conference on Wednesday, January 21 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time in the Senate Press Gallery.
The Working Families Flexibility Act helps workers handle the constant challenge of work-life balance by allowing private-sector employers to offer individuals who work overtime the option to choose between monetary compensation or comp-time.
As President Obama pushes for more top-down federal mandates in the workplace, the Working Families Flexibility Act highlights how a more realistic, conservative approach can help American workers.
The House previously passed Rep. Roby’s Working Families Flexibility Act in May 2013. A Senate companion bill was introduced by Sen. Lee but failed to receive consideration in the gridlocked Democratic Majority.
Sen. Lee and Rep. Roby will discuss their joint House and Senate bills and answer questions.
