Should I take training days as a work day when P/T?

I'm P/T in a senior role, working 3 days a week (usually Mon-Wed) with flexibility.

The company has booked in a couple of on-site training days on Fridays.

Would people in my situation generally assign these Fridays as work days, or attend them on top of their usual 3 days' work?

I will also ask the folks at work btw, just keen to hear what the usual is!

I’d make Friday my working day that week, unless I was so busy that I couldn’t take time out to do training in my normal hours, in which case it would have to be an extra day.

My work would consider these as a work day & take a different day off instead.

  • Swap the work days
  • Time in lieu added to holidays

Otherwise you are working for free while FT are being paid and IMO that would sets a poor expectation /example for lower paid employees.

Yes, either swap or TOIL here.

Swap or toil.

I'd take a day off in lieu of working those Fridays.

Who else/how many others is this training day for? Any other part-timers? How was that day picked?

Swap your work days, or claim the training days as TOIL. Definitely don't do the training days in your own time.

I’d swap your non working day, or claim overtime If allowed and that’s what your preference is
