Common use of Outside Training Clause in Contracts

Outside Training. Section 26.1: If the Employer requests or requires an employee to attend an outside training program during regular working hours, the employee shall be paid his/her regular salary, and the Employer shall pay the tuition and any related course fees. The Employer will also pay reasonable lodging expenses when pre-approved by General Manager. When private transportation is used the employee will be reimbursed for actual mileage at the current New Mexico statute allowable rate. The Employer shall pay for three attempts for job-related tuition, course fees, and travel and lodging. In the event the employee cannot successfully pass the course in three attempts, the employee is then responsible for the costs associated with that training. When the training is conducted at times other than normal working hours, the employee will be excused from work for the time spent in class. If the employee is required to work in addition to the time spent at training, the employee will be paid at 1-1/2 times straight time wages for the additional hours in excess of forty (40) hours or optional compensatory time may be taken.
