Excludes certain voluntary job training from work hours

Voluntary training outside regular work hours would not count as paid work time, as long as skipping it does not hurt the worker's job.

• Training must be voluntary and outside regular working hours to be excluded
• Workers' conditions can't be made worse for choosing not to take part
• No work for the employer can be done during the training
• Changes the definition of hours worked under the Fair Labor Standards Act
