The general rule on paying employees for educations is that
attendence at seminars, lectures and trainig programs is NOT
compensable work time if, ALL FOUR of the following criteria are
met, and that's all of them:
- Attendence is voluntary.
- Attendence is outside the employee's regular work hours.
- The training is not directly related to the employee's job.
- The employee does not perform any productive work during attendence.
And note this, training designed to ready an employee for another job is NOT considered directly related to the employee's job.
