Hello,
Any gym owners/head coaches out there, I have a question that I seem to get alot of opinions on but I'm looking for facts. At my gym, we require all coaches, competitive or not, to be usag certified. It's always been expected that employees do these certs on their own time. However, many employees are a bit disgruntled with this, saying that legally, they need to be compensated for their time. I agree, but I have no "proof" that this is true other then it makes sense to me because the job is requiring it after the coach is hired, not a prerequisite. How does your gym handle this? Any input is greatly appreciated!
