Iowa Admin. Code r. 875-220.19 - Training time
(1)
While time spent in attending training required by an employer is normally
considered compensable hours of work, the following are situations where time
spent by employees of governments in required training is considered to be
noncompensable.
a. Attendance outside of
regular working hours at specialized or follow-up training, which is required
by law for certification of public and private sector employees within a
particular governmental jurisdiction (e.g., certification of public and private
emergency rescue workers), does not constitute compensable hours of work for
public employees within that jurisdiction and subordinate
jurisdictions.
b. Attendance
outside of regular working hours at specialized or follow-up training, which is
required for certification of employees of a governmental jurisdiction by law
of a higher level of government, does not constitute compensable hours of
work.
(2) Police officers
or firefighters who are in attendance at a police or fire academy or other
training facility are not considered to be on duty during those times when they
are not in class or at a training session, if they are free to use such time
for personal pursuits.
