Summary

Compensatory Time for All Workers Act of 1995 - Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide compensatory time for all employees. Allows an employee to receive, in lieu of monetary overtime compensation, compensatory time off at a rate not less than one and one-half hours for each hour of employment for which overtime compensation is required under the Act. Limits to not more than 240 hours the amount of compensatory time an employee may accrue (with specified exceptions for public agency employees). Requires payment of overtime compensation for: (1) compensatory time accrued but not used in a calendar year or other designated 12-month period; and (2) unused compensatory time upon termination of employment. Requires employers to permit employees to use compensatory time within a reasonable period after employees request its use if such use does not unduly disrupt employers' operations.
