Education and Training Time

Employees who spend time at lectures, work courses, employer-sponsored training programs or employee meetings must count that time as hours worked and be paid for the time unless all the following conditions are met:

• The time spent is outside of normal working hours;
• The coursework is unrelated to the employee's regular job;.
• The employee's attendance is strictly voluntary (except for continuing education training); and
• No productive work is performed.¹
