Opinions please
---------------
The company I work for is going to adopt a formal comp time policy.  In an
effort to make this complete, I am hoping system managers and anyone else
who does comp time would share their insights on the topic.
 
Specifically the situation is as follows
----------------------------------------
The company pays above average salaries, but does not pay overtime (read
expects overtime, but no compensation).  There are times where certain
people need to work overtime to complete a task, and do so, but when it
comes to taking it, the policy is vague.
 
1. Is hour for hour fair (i guess so) but does it cause scheduling problems
   when the user goes to take the owed time.
 
2. Should their be a maximum of how much time can be "banked" ?
 
3. A threshold where some overtime (like 4 hours a week) is given to the company
   and THEN hour for hour
 
5. Have the time put toward vacation weeks which might make project scheduling
   easier.
 
I would appreciate any comments on this topic, either through email or
here.  I will post a copy of what the suggestions from the net lead to.
for those interested.
