If the specialized training runs on a weekend, can the employee receive overtime pay?
It depends on the situation. If the training is elective, the employee will not receive overtime pay. However, if the employee is asked to attend the seminar or conference by the Department, and the event extends beyond regularly scheduled work hours, overtime will be paid. Again, overtime pay is determined on a case-by-case basis. If you are not sure and want to verify your situation, please contact the Department Training Officer at (213) 847-1240.
