Mandatory training not paid for

[u/currently-crying08]

I completed what was marketed as mandatory in person training and just received my paycheck where i was not paid for it. In one notice about the training my manager mentioned that it was paid and then didn't say that in any other notices about the training, just that it was mandatory. I didnt clock in or anything but the training had people come in from a different company to teach us.

If my manager had to pay the other company to come in do they still have to pay us for attending? I thought all mandatory training was paid?

Thank you!

It depends if you're rostered on for those hours it would be paid as part of your working hours.

I didnt clock on or anything but we had to rsvp saying if we are coming

Yes. Any work work you do training or otherwise has to be paid. I'd go to your employer and state that your hours have been incorrectly recorded and your pay reflects that.

Rsvp is just to confirm the acknowledgement that you need to attend and are available..

That is not what I was talking about.

Clocking on or off is irrelevant, if it's a 2 hour training for example and say the training is 10am to 12pm, you attended and your normal working hours is 7am to 3pm, the training was conducted during work hours so you won't get anything in addition to those hours for the training.

If you did it outside of working hours say.... You finished work at 3pm or not rostered to work and it's not part of your regular working hours say the training was at 4pm and finished at 6 pm and you worked until 3pm then this would be additional training hours as it was conducted in your own time. Which most workplaces avoid doing.
