Required online training modules. Expected completion by next shift. No indication whether time is paid.
Employees complete training at home unpaid, assuming it's not work time because it's not at workplace.
Training time is compensable when: Required by employer, related to job duties, or preparing employee to perform work better—even if completed remotely or outside regular hours.
"Voluntary" training that affects employment, advancement, or performance evaluation isn't truly voluntary and must be paid.
Does your business pay employees for all required training time? What's your policy?
