Vocab question no. 39 - in lieu

Dear Users,

I've come across this question on a list of questions related to jobs and I don't know what it means. There was no context given, just a question among many others:

What's time off in lieu?

Can someone help me figure it out?

Thanks

'In lieu' means 'instead of'. In this case, it probably means 'time off is given instead of wages for overtime work'.
