Mandatory Meetings

[Chicken Man]

What is the name of your state? PA, Philadelphia

I work at a place and they have these mandatory meetings on Sunday Morn. at 8am. They also tell us that if we don't attend, that we're fired. I want to know are these meetings paid for? Can we be fired for not attending?

You can be fired for not attending.

Did you ask your employer if the meetings are paid for? We wouldn't know.

You can be required to attend, yes. If you are a non-exempt employee, you must be paid for them as they are considered time worked.

And yes, you can be fired if you do not attend.
