Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Pay slip
Portuguese term or phrase: compensado
In a pay slip for an executive position, under the headling "Batida" there are several entries alongside the corresponding date. One is "compensado", which appears alongside a Saturday date. I imagine it means "Paid", but I wonder if it could refer to flex time; i.e., the day is being paid by offsetting overtime accumulated during the week.

added to flextime account


Explanation:
compensado => added to flextime account

Since executives usually do NOT work on Saturdays - the hours this person put in on Saturday will be credited to a flextime account - (not paid as overtime) - thus "compensado"
