Question : Employer required to pay for training hours?
I’m a certified nursing assistant and I worked as a PCA (Patient Care Assistant) at an assisted senior living facility. After hours training and working there for three days I decided the job was not for me. They had poor management skills and they don’t treat employers with respect. While I went through hours of training, the manager told me (verbally) that they were not going to pay me for my training hours until I’ve worked 90 days, which was not stated in their employee handouts. I did some research and according to department of lobar, all training hours must be paid by the employer. Since they stated the no pay for training hours until 90 days verbally, is it their words or the labor department’s words? Just to clarify this too, they HAVE to pay me for working the 3 days regardless of anything right?

You didn’t say where you’re performing this work, but assuming it’s in the United States, yes, they have to pay you. You can file a complaint with the Department of Labor.
