Is it illegal for a job not to pay you when you're training?

I got my first job, and they are training me for a couple of days… teaching me the menu how to work and cook things. But they told me there not going to pay me yet, is that right? because at other places like mcdonalds they work and there tag says “in training” and they still get paid… should i complain to my boss?

Answer #1

Depends, is your work union? Are you being paid under the table?

If it’s union then I would definitely say yes, you should be getting paid. Non-union companies can do whatever the please, within reason of course.

Answer #2

Also, make sure you talk to your union rep first.

Some places have a 90 day probational period, that means at anytime they can fire you, once the 90 days is up, then you’ll be apart of the union, and they will be taking money out of your pay check lmao.

At least that’s how it was for me.

Answer #3

Legally a non-union corporation does not have to pay for training since your technically not working and the company is doing you a favor by teaching you.

Answer #4

I would say no but tht jus my opinion

Answer #5

If you are in union than yes but some jobs when your in training it does not count as your actually working there till you finish training.

Answer #6

according to the companys rule?

Answer #7

In many parts of Asia are you officially become the company employee, will ask you to free use of a failure can not become qualified employees to leave. I found a few work is so ah。Now I do a site at home . For example http://funadvice.com/r/153c46tko7e

Answer #8

just make sure that their ‘training’ is not you working independently and they’re basically just getting free labor.

also, if you agreed to this when you accepted the training position then it makes it difficult for you to retract your decision..

most places offer some kind of incentive to train and ultimately work with them, it really depends on what field you are working in.

and when you speak to your boss, try and phrase it delicately, and present it as more of a ‘enquiry’ than a complaint.. gather your facts etc before you do anything more controversial.

good luck
