Compensatory Off (Comp Off)

Compensatory Off, or Comp Off, is a day off given for working on a holiday or weekend, given as time off instead of extra pay. Companies usually set a validity period, like 30 or 90 days, for using Comp Off, after which it may expire if unused. Comp Off is often confused with regular leave, so a clear company policy is important. Comp Off is most common in industries with shift work or frequent weekend duties.
