Does FLSA cover all non-exempt employees when determining hours worked while training or preparing for training outside regular work hours?
Time spent in entry-level training outside regular working hours is not considered hours of work, but time spent in training during regular working hours is considered hours of work. When nonexempt employees are scheduled in advance of the administrative workweek to attend a training class for a specified number of hours, all of the scheduled hours are considered hours of work for overtime pay purposes. Compensatory time off may not be approved for training under these circumstances, because the training was scheduled before the beginning of the administrative workweek, and accordingly, the overtime is considered regularly scheduled.
