Test Your AP IQ: Is Training Time Compensable?

How familiar are you with AP best practices, rules, and regulations? Here’s a question to test your knowledge: One of your AP processors (a nonexempt employee eligible for overtime) needs to become more skilled at a particular computer program. You set her up to take a training class at a local school twice a week at night after work hours. Is the time she spends in this class considered work time for which she must be compensated?

  • This is not AP-related. This has to do with compensation, which is a payroll function.

  • Yes, but anyone who supervises nonexempt employees should have a basic knowledge of OT rules.

  • This does not differ from attending during work hours or after work hours. Therefore, it would be considered over-time if the employee worked their 40 hours that week.
