Yes, we pay for any training time that they do for us after being hired. We pay whatever rate we hired them at for their position. We do not do a special rate for training. Steve Schafer Steve-Schafer@pcdcmena.com We pay employees for their training at minimum wage. Anita Orrick donimartin.dmc@gmail.com Paid at the same hourly rate that they are hired for their position. Stephanie Smith ssmith@EasterSealsAR.com Yes, we pay for training. We consider that is their first day of employment with our agency. Janie Sexton jsexton@buildingbridgesar.org Yes – we pay for their orientation and training as this is usually their first day of employment. Tonya Reames treames@oectrs.org ILS pays staff for their training time. I would worry that you could run into issues with the DOL if you did not pay staff for their required training specific to their job duties.
