A state agency has been advised by legal counsel to require nonexempt employees to use their FLSA comp time prior to requesting and using their available sick and annual leave. Although I cannot find anything in the federal code to back me up, I was under the impression that this was not an acceptable practice. Can anyone enlighten me?

I do HR policy in a public agency. I don't believe that there is anything in FLSA addressing a requirement that any comp time earned by a public employee must be taken before the employee can use sick and annual leave. There may be something in state law or in labor agreements with unions representing state employees. It could be that the state agency wants to ensure the comp time is used before an employee begins a lengthy leave because there may be a requirement that comp time be used within a year or two of accrual.
