MI HB6509

Establishes overtime compensation requirement of 1-1/2 times regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 per workweek, with exceptions for fire protection, law enforcement, correctional security, and hospital/care facility employees under specified conditions.

Allows employees to receive compensatory time off at 1-1/2 hours per overtime hour in lieu of monetary compensation if employer provides at least 10 days annual leave and employees voluntarily agree in writing, with maximum accrual of 240 hours.

Requires employers to maintain records of compensatory time earned, provide employees with written statements of compensation, pay out accrued time within 30 days upon request, and prohibits employer intimidation or discrimination regarding employee choice to accept or reject compensatory time.

Permits employees to use accrued compensatory time for any reason unless use unduly disrupts employer operations; if denied, employee receives monetary compensation instead, and unused time must be paid upon employment termination.

Changes departmental reference from "consumer and industry services" to "energy, labor, and economic growth" and makes technical grammatical corrections throughout the statute.
