—they are already free to do that.

Hmmm, you have the whole thing backward

Thus, to answer your question, you are not permitted to use comp time for a nonexempt employee who works more than 40 hours in a single workweek. That is true even if the employee requests or expresses a desire to waive overtime pay in lieu of comp time. Only public-sector employers are allowed to provide comp time to nonexempt employees.

Suitably chastised.
