They used to have the classes at work and were on the clock for them. Now just about everything she has to do is online and they can't turn in their time to anyone.

The hospital probably needs to be paying your wife for her time. Mandatory training that the hospital requires is compensable time. Training required by the state or other non-governmental nursing groups would not be compensable. She should keep records of the time she spends on the company training. Please call us to schedule a consultation.
