3. “In our view, section 207(o)(5) clearly allocates the relative rights of employees and employers to control the use of accrued compensatory time. An employee has the right to use the accrued time as the employee sees fit subject only to the employer’s limited right to deny an employee’s request if it would unduly disrupt the employer’s operations. Congress has not provided the employer with any further right to unilaterally control or to force the employee’s use of compensatory time.”
