Aubie, you said "Yes, comp time is not legal." I find that a little confusing. As a salaried employee, while I don't have to punch a time card, I am supposed to perform the tasks which my manager requests of me. If my manager tells me that my highest priority task as far as she is concerned is to spend today mowing the lawn at home, followed by drinking iced tea by the pool, who am I to protest, and why should this be illegal?

(For the record, I don't have a lawn, nor do I have a pool.)
