Is it legal to have mandatory meetings at work?

Answer by  PZ (1206)

Yes, if the meetings are during regular working hours. If the meetings are outside your normal hours, and you are paid by the hour, you must be paid to attend.

Yes, it is legal for an employer to hold mandatory meetings. In some cases, it may be illegal for the employer NOT to hold meetings about OSHA rules, etc.
