Under RCW 49.46.130(1) an employer is not required to grant all employee requests for compensating time off in lieu of overtime pay; if, however, an employer denies any such requests it will then be obligated to pay for the overtime involved on a time and one‑half basis as required by the statute; the "time and one‑half" requirement of RCW 49.46.130(1), however, only pertains to overtime pay itself and not, in addition, to comp time requested by an employee and granted by an employer in its discretion instead.
