When are we required to pay for trainings?

Question: When are we required to pay for trainings?

Answer by Kyle C, PHR.: In general, time spent in job-related training is counted as time worked and must be paid. However, not every lecture, class, training program, or similar activity would qualify. If all four of the following criteria are met, you don’t need to pay the employee for the training.
