Comp Off Full Form: Compensatory Off
Compensatory Off, or Comp Off, is time off granted in exchange for approved work performed on a weekly off day or holiday.
In simple terms
The policy should specify eligibility, approval, expiry and whether the time off must match the time worked. Accurate attendance records help employers award and track comp off fairly.
Example
An employee who works an approved Sunday shift receives one comp-off day to use within the policy period.
Frequently asked questions
Does comp off expire?
Many employers set an expiry period; check the company policy.
Is comp off the same as overtime pay?
No. Comp off is time off in lieu, while overtime pay is monetary compensation.
