Our company has been in hot water for not properly compensating employees during our "free lunch / trainings" that we hold every so often. Yes, you're giving them free food, no they don't get a choice and yes that's illegal. Pay up, clueless managers.
- mattm 13y agoI was new at a company that did this. We had to submit weekly timesheets. No one told me the procedure but I figured, everyone attended so I figured marking down 30 minutes (out of 60) on the time on the timesheet billed to the company was a fair deal. A few days later a company-wide email was sent out specifying that these trainings were optional and not to be billed to the company. They did pay me for the time though that time.
- Einstalbert 13y agoAh, what a joke. I recall someone not putting it on their timesheet and instead going directly to the Department of Labor. Good on them, I say. I've got a vested interested in the company doing well, but that was a ridiculous policy.
