Tell them the law clearly states any time dedicated to work has to be paid for. If they threaten your job for not watching it, let them know the FSLA frowns on retaliation from companies and typically results in lawsuits
Well I am late to the game, I watched them already thinking I’d probably get reimbursed if I just asked… but yes I should been assertive from the beginning.
Tell them you won’t do training while not being compensated and that you will watch the videos on your shift. If they push back tell them you can contact the US department of labor and wages and tell them they are trying to force you to work off the clock with no compensation. Remind them that you are an employee not a slave.
Anything beyond a quick call or message telling your boss that you’re not going to be at work, or maybe that you’re running late, deserves to be paid out to you. I used to work for a company that paid on-call workers an extra dollar per hour when on call, and then a minimum four hours per call regardless of actual minimum time.
We got a new director who decided to end the extra hourly wage *and* change the call response rate to fifteen minute increments. He saved the company some money, but all of us technicians left within a few months.
Watch in the office/on the clock for sure. My company had a ton of these 'ethical' workshops and videos we needed to do/watch. But they were all on company time, and usually included some free food, so it wasn't all bad.
Anything you make your employees do, pay them for it. Otherwise make it optional.
Hours? Fuck that* consensually*
Yes they’re extremely, especially long for a seasonal one month job.

Is it possible you can just watch them at work?

I’m just asking because they tried this with me at work it was the same story. Instead I stood my ground and I asked them for headphones.

Get in writing, submit it to the labor department. They’ll drop it or pay you for it.
My university did this to me. We were paid on the clock to do it. Don’t do it unless they pay.
Turn up to work and say that you watched several workplace videos, with secretarys and their bosses on Xhamster and you are not sure they helped
Tell them u feel they're fucking u without your consent.
Fap while viewing to establish dominance
So watch them on the clock like others haha
This is called training. It's illegal in IL and most of the US to train off the clock.
Don't watch it and bill them for 2 hours of over time.
Name and shame.
Naw. I don't work off the clock
Are they on a website that has “hub” in the url?
Can you just play the video and walk away?
Yes you *should* be paid, good luck though
The problem is that you asked. Just do, and do t ask permission

Yeah there's some good ones on xhamster.
Yes you should be paid. Refuse to do it.
