Site Training. The training on site shall also be considered as time worked. The Company agrees, when security officers are asked to work in psychiatric institutions or other similar institutions, to train the officers so that they can properly respond and protect themselves in all situations. Prior to an employee working on any specific site, said employee will be oriented to the site and will receive any specific training that is deemed appropriate for that site. Site training will be provided by a person competent to provide training for the site. Once a security officer has been assigned to a site, any additional training required by the client and/or the Company shall have its cost covered by the Company. Furthermore, any hours spent training shall be paid at the provincial minimum wage rate and not be counted as hours worked for the purpose of overtime calculation. The Company will, on occasion, provide voluntary training to employees and if the employees so choose to take such training, it will be strictly on a voluntary basis and all the time spent taking such training will not be considered as time worked and will be unpaid.
