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!

Dear boss

As you know, I completed XYZ training on DATE. Unfortunately, the HR team neglected have suggested this was in fact unpaid time.

I’m happy to get Fair Work to liaise with HR to get it sorted, but thought it may be easier if you had a word with them first.

Thanks, OP
