Full compensatory time off
If, as Adrian suggested, the Gutschrift is opposed to the Vergütung, I would make that clear. Although, the term Gutschrift is not really that clear, as credited hours might well be paid at a later state. I would get back to the client and ask exactly what is meant by the term.

100% credit for overtime worked
I am unsure this is
1. an actual emolument (remuneration) as time may be taken off in lieu to prance and dance around Berlin etc. post-GDR closure of the Linden Korso disco and
2. Überstunden should be contrasted with Mehrstunden as extra hours put in.

: 'remuneration' can take the form of a 'day in lieu' and is not necessarily financial. If you live in Cornwall, it could even be a day in Looe. Very pleasant!

That's odd because Überstunden are not remunerated but credited to an *Arbeitszeitkonto* in Germany https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/ueberstundenabbau-trotz-kr... PS my first UK schoolteacher of German was an Oxbridge Cornishman.
