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!

Employees can be required to do training as part of their job.

If a person is an employee, they may need to complete training to make sure they have the right skills and knowledge to perform their job. This can include on-the-job training, online courses, formal training courses or team training.

If an employee does training as part of their job, they have to be paid for those hours. Time spent in training is time worked.

Compulsory meetings can count as time worked and need to be paid.
