What is compensatory off in a company?

[Tremblay]

I want to understand how compensatory off works in companies. Do employees get it for working on weekends or holidays, and are there any rules for using it later? Please explain with simple examples for freshers and working professionals.

It's basically a day off you earn when you work on a holiday or weekend, so instead of getting paid extra the company gives you a leave day to use later, most places have a validity period on it so just make sure you use it in time.

Compensatory off, or comp off, is leave granted to employees for working on weekends, holidays, or extra hours. Employees can later take equivalent paid time off instead of overtime payment.

Compensatory off (Comp Off) is leave given to employees who work on a holiday or weekend. Instead of extra pay, the company allows them to take a day off later to compensate for the extra work.

Compensatory off is paid time off granted to employees for working on holidays or extra days. It lets them take equivalent leave later, maintaining work-life balance and fairness.

Compensatory off, often called comp off, is leave given to employees who work on holidays, weekends, or scheduled week-offs. Instead of extra pay, the company allows them to take a paid day off later as compensation for the additional work performed. Rules for using comp off vary between organizations, including validity periods and approval requirements. It helps maintain work-life balance while ensuring employees are fairly compensated for working beyond regular schedules.
