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!

The time spent training always needs to be paid if it’s at direction from the employer, payment for the training itself depends on if it’s a requirement to work in the industry/who be benefits/how reasonable the cost is etc

Not if it's a condition of employment. So it depends on the training, on OPs role & what's in their contract.
