Flexibility for Workers Education Act

In plain language

Changes the federal wage and hours law so that optional training outside an employee's normal working hours does not count as paid working time. This applies even if the employer offers the training, as long as skipping it does not hurt the employee's working conditions and the employee does no work for the employer during it.

Official summary

This bill modifies the definition of hours worked under the Fair Labor Standards Act to exclude certain voluntary training that occurs outside an employee's regular working hours. Such training does not count as hours worked even if it is offered by the employer, provided that an employee's working conditions are not adversely affected by choosing not to participate and the employee does not perform any work for the employer during the training.
