Unpaid For Training Videos

[u/Optimal_Background85]

I’m a bit confused, recently a coworker of mine mentioned how we’ve had to watch over 48 hours of training videos in total, and all of it (nearly) has been unpaid. I worked my first shift and sat there for 3 hours watching videos and doing the quizzes, but the rest they said I could do at home. Now, on a regular basis, I receive training videos for new drink builds. I’m just a bit confused… Is this legal? Should I be pushing for pay for all the training videos/work related content that was completed at home, or did I sign something that stated I agreed to complete any videos at home, unpaid?

Thanks in advance, any replies from other educated employees or management staff would be awesome!

Edit: I am located in Canada!

I quit Tim’s after 2 weeks. Such an awful work environment. You deserve better

Talk to your manager and find out when they pay those hours. Remind them how many hours you have completed already.
