Iowa Admin. Code r. 875-220.226 - Training time
(1) The general
rules for determining the compensability of training time under the federal
Fair Labor Standards Act are set forth in
29 CFR
785.27 through
785.32.
(2) While time spent in attending training
required by an employer is normally considered compensable hours of work,
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.
c. Time spent in the training described in
paragraph 220.226(2)"a" or "b" is not
compensable, even if all or part of the cost of the training is borne by the
employer.
(3) 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. The free time is not compensable.
