I kinda expected 45-50 hr/week commitments when things are running good. Other managers gave hr for hr in excess of 40. If an exempt employee wanted to time keep for comp time my ratio was about 1 hr off for 8-10 hr in excess of 40. I do not think I ever turned down an exempt employee for a personal day off.
During turnarounds/startups , either exempt or nonexempt personnel burned out after 60 hour weeks for more than a month. Time away from the site paid off royally in productivity.

Somewhere between 12.5%-10% in PTO for every hour in excess of the normal 40.

apparently the one the OP works in except for his team.

I have seen it earned that way...but never the actual ability to take it all

I'm glad I work for a company where the bottom line is the most important thing and not KPIs or comp time.

As exempt, moderate amount of extra-hour support is expected.

I’ve only received comp time for extended or significant extra hours.

During a turnaround, working 6 or 7/12s, we’d normally be given 1:1 or 1:2 for those weekends days (not hours).

Going offshore as a non-offshore role, it’s 1:1 for the non-scheduled days (meaning weekends and alternating Fridays).

If something comes up and requires an extended weekend of work, or significant travel/time on site, we can usually take a day to recoup that.

It’s flexible and usually pretty open. The problem with comp time is there’s already too much to do, so taking additional days off because something else required dedicated attention, just means more work gets pushed to the backlog.

Oh I get the math, but the norm is 150%. Overtime is time and a half (1.5), not 12.5.%

Last time I worked a job that gave comp time it was 1.5:1 in place of overtime, but there has been so such thing at my last two jobs.

That said they are very flexible hours and don't care as long as the work is done.

The only time we get a comp day is if our firm has a holiday that a client doesn’t recognize and someone covers for the client on that day. In that event the person gets a comp day to be taken essentially whenever they want.
