Quick question for everyone. My sister works for a large pub chain who have told she needs to complete online training. Nothing wrong with that I hear you say however she has been told she needs to complete it at home, in her own time. She's offered to do it after her shift at work but was told by her boss to get it done this weekend and if she doesn't have a computer at home, find one.

Surely training needs to be done either in your working day or if it has to be done out with, it should either be instead of working your normal shift or paid overtime.

Can employers 'force' someone to train without pay and in their own time? Sounds like the boss is trying to get himself out the brown stuff as he's been told he needs to get his staff trained by a certain date.

No idea about this one but last time she was 'asked' it took about 2-3 hours.
