Under typical policy, when is mandatory training time paid as regular hours?

• A. Outside standard workdays.
• B. Always unpaid.
• C. During standard workdays.
• D. Only when overtime.

Answer: (C)

Mandatory training time is treated as work time, and when it occurs during your scheduled shift, it counts as regular hours. Being on the clock for the training means you’re paid at your normal rate as part of your usual workday. If the training happens outside those standard hours, it may be paid differently (for example, as overtime or not at the regular rate) depending on policy, but it wouldn’t be regular hours in the standard sense.
