My old company I use to work for do there CPC courses at weekends and they don't paye you for it right or wrong?

[jamessi]

Another way to look at it you don’t have a driver cpc you don’t have a job simples we do ours in our own time and company pays for it this also includes lunch. Our company does make sure all the drivers are free on the days that they would like booked for it.

well I am out of the industry for good doing something else with my life

so don't winge then - simple....

I pay for my drivers’ CPC courses and also pay them for their time doing them.
I have a rewards system in place where shifts worked accrue points that can be redeemed for a day of driver CPC training or an annual payment if they have gotten their hours externally.
A couple of days of them working covers the costs, it’s no big deal.

exactly how it should be done imo

[wilGGerso]

Depends if they are paying for the course

[2907-kinjo]

They book them then offer you to do them if you want. That is the loophole.

[dusDarrem]

If your company pays you to attend training it must be recorded as working time so honest compliant companies won’t pay as it could affect your average working time over the reference period and also affect weekly rest. As said by others it is the drivers qualification and their responsibility to keep it up to date so just be grateful when a company is willing to pay the cost of the course.

honest reliable companies like Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury, DHL, BCA and so on ???? No cpc no driver is another way of looking at it!

[Oconbeller]

Put yourself in the position of the employer and ask your self that ?

[nedlin7o]

If it was done over the weekend regardless if there paying isn’t that classed as actual work and is against a drivers weekly rest period

[Iainto]

If it was done over the weekend regardless if there paying isn’t that classed as actual work and is against a drivers weekly rest period

only way it goes against your working hours is if they instruct you to attend on a set time and day. If they offer to pay and it is the drivers choice to do it then no. The driver can say they don't want to do it but if the company is paying for a card they take with them if they leave they would be better accepting that. Some companies don't even pay for it.

agreed

[pegrumab_77x]

Its your card. Your licence. Your responsibility.
If the business you work for puts you through it while meant to be working count yourself very fortunate.

[ANDNNEE]

My view is...you need a CPC to do your job. So you get it done, you pay for it. Same for a DBS if it's required. Now if the company is nice and pays for it, you do it in their terms. Tough life.

you don’t believe in cpc’s but you believe in a fictional character whom you are prepared to give up Sundays for by going to church and probably pay for it

Right all I am going out for a curry see you all soon bye

[Richarigor]

Any company that pays for the CPC is going over and above as it's the drivers responsibility to ensure that they have a valid CPC. So if it's offered and all you have to do is attend then take it. Drivers don't know what companies have to do nowadays to pay the bills..

[GREGUIPP]

needs to get a life pal...

[AndryUrman]

needs to get a life pal...

got one mate don't drive trucks anymore out of the industry thank God

[preson_kay]

needs to get a life pal...

spot on.

[Androire]

They dont have to pay for your course, nor your time doing the course. I pay my drivers and usually just find a quiet day when they’re not needed. Helps with retention

[Jimmco]

I don't get paid plus I have to pay 60 for the pleasure
But you get a beer

[Stuardax]

So take a holiday or unpaid leave, find a training provider and fund the qualification held by yourself by yourself… No pleasing some folk

[paerne]

If they’re paying for course, suck it up.

[kingid]

Cpc classes count as duty time therefore they have to pay you to attend

[jasoniz]

Cpc classes count as duty time therefore they have to pay you to attend

no they don’t. It’s your licence and your qualification and not the company. We’re lucky that our employer pays for the course. We sit them in our own time

not true my friend. Loophole that a lot of companies use is to give you the choice.
To be honest I’m glad they pay for the course and I don’t have to 8 hours a year of my time For a Cpc I can taken anywhere.
There are lots of firms that pay the course fees but not the drivers time.

I've worked for 5 different companies and insisted they pay me as I'm on duty every one have paid for my training and days pay you just got to be firm with them and point out the facts good luck with your boss you can give them my details if they try it on

No need, All our guys appreciate the other things company do for them. Family friendly duties. Decent above average annual payrises. Staff days out all paid for by the company.

should be true but sadly isn’t

[chuyear45]

Free CPC woohoo

[WalkerBo]

If on paye, yes

[poeterClear]

If you are told you must attend then it is other work and a manual entry must be made on your tachograph card you then will have to take your weekly break - or did you work on Monday?
If DVSA would have caught you they would have fined up and parked you up until you had sufficient break.

[VeronRoz]

I think I know the company

[AndryUrman]

I think I know the company

who

[richaknot]

If they pay for the course for you Right

[preson_kay]

should NOT be allowed to post just striring stuff up. And by the way the company doesn't have to pay for it. It's the drivers legal responsibility to get it completed not the company.

[jurain]

Are they paying for the course for the staff ?

[cubi0eran]

CPV is yours not the companys it goes with you wherever you work a lot of companies do them for free but you have to do in your time Fair deal I think

[Hookakiron]

It’s all a big con anyway

[Garyds]

Your licence your responsibility

[TimleyZorr]

Sound Like WH Malcoms

[WoodNoff]

If they pay you it counts towards you’re working time

[sacho2853]

If you are driving the other 5 days then shouldn’t being doing it anyway!!

[stephossl]

We pay for the course but not the time to sit it

[Albertec]

The company I work for pay for the course but not for us to attend.
We are ok with that because at least we don't have to pay for it ourselves and attend without getting paid so it softens the blow.

[Albertec]

And yes it is done at the weekend.
We are asked if we are available and would like to go.

[kirko.vash]

Wow!! How many people don't realise it's actually the licence holder's responsibility to keep and update their DCPC, just because you've been lucky enough to have been at a company that organisers and probably pays for the course doesn't mean you are entitled to be paid, would you give up a day of your holiday every year? You could be paid then

[AmaraBesT]

It's meant to be on the job training

[Grantie]

If you get paid for it you have to declare as other work, I do the same, pay for the course but not for the time, messes with working time otherwise. Some people don't realise when they are well off, some employers don't even pay for the course or allow time off for it.

[JadeEver]

Your licence, your responsibility. It’s part of having your licence and not your employers responsibility, the same as your medical.
If your employer is kind enough to pay for any of the courses, time or both then be grateful, especially if it’s both!

[jayinn]

We pay for cpc and it's a paid working day, same as any other. Rest is rest, other work is work.

[colineter]

When else should you be doing it for FREE, it’s not compulsory go sit pay for it on a week night , Should be on drivers forum.

[Worther2787]

Its drivers responsibility to get cpc so if they pay for that you’re luckier than some!

[DonaldMarcs]

If the company pay you to attend I am pretty sure that counts against your wtd hours ???!!!

[136_lewismequ]

Correct. Why should they pay you ? It’s your qualification

[ScottMc]

No chance

[blunic]

My staff pay for their own it’s their lic no cpc no job simple. I used to pay for it then one driver left 5 weeks after so won’t get bitten twice

[keithMax]

Can’t drive without it. Check your contract as to who is responsible. Me personally i do it myself in my own time.

[michaeler]

It is the drivers responsibility to make sure he has the licences to do the job entailed , you wouldn't pull ADR without a licence , so if you company pays for your very lucky .

[Martynet]

The only issue you have is CPC class as 7 hrs of other work, so you need to take a rest day before or after, and make up your break by the end of the 3rd week.

[farrepo]

My view is any decent company will pay for the course and pay you to attend.
However, they don't have to do either.

[Shauniv]

Why should they pay ? And why should you care ?

[Justino]

Did you pay for it
