Do you pay overtime for non-exempt employees receiving training if the training hours carry them over 40 hours of work that week even if TSTC is paying for the training?
A. If the training is required for their employment, yes. Federal law counts that as work time and subsequently is paid time. A good rule of thumb, if this is training that you may very well provide during normal paid hours of work but for whatever reason; scheduling conflicts, work load, etc., normal work hours won’t work…then it is paid work time.
