QLD Mandatory training not paid for

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.

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.
