wildfire:
the only problem occurs when the employer pays you for attending then that has to classed as OTHER WORK,does “pays you for attending” include pays for the course fees only ?
if the employer pays the course fees, but does not pay the person on the course any wage for attending, is this still other work ?
Hi ThirtyTwo,
This is from the link kindly provided by delboytwo above…
I’ve inserted one line space and a little formatting to make it read even clearer. 
It should be noted that the advice from VOSA makes it plain that the question of who is paying for the training is irrelevant:
the distinction is whether or not the driver is being paid a wage to attend and whether his employer has ordered him to attend. If the answer to either question is yes, then the training should be recorded as ‘other work’
