• In order for a meeting time not to be considered paid work time, all of the following must exist:
  
  1) attendance must be outside of your regular working hours; and
  2) attendance must be volulntary; and
  3) the employee must do no productive work while attending; and
  4) the program, lecture or meeting should not be directly related to the employee's job. It is not job related if it is helps an employee learn a new skill not needed for his present job or if it prepares the employee for a different job.
  
  Also, training may not have to be paid if the training corresponds to a training program offered externally or if it is related to requirements established for the job by an outside entity, such as on-going training in medical care for EMT's. If the training is related to the ambulance services policies, such as its policies on use of the company vehicle for personal use, it would need to be paid.
  
  If the event was offered by your employer and you were on worktime (as discussed above) or, even if unpaid, you were at the event because of a work related reason, it is considered a work related injury. For example, let's say that you work for a hospital as a nurse. Let's also say that you were on the premises to attend certification training and you tripped and feel, hurting your knee. Even though the training was unpaid (because of the certification training), it is considered a workers compensation injury.
  
  If, on the other hand, you came to the hospital just to visit the gift shop. You were not there in any work capacity. While at the gift shop, you tripped and fell. It would not be a work related injury. You were a guest of the hospital.
  
  Does that help in understanding your situation? Let me know if you have any questions.
