Paid Training and Better Conditions for School Food Service Workers.
This law aims to improve the quality of school meals by ensuring that cafeteria staff receive appropriate, cost-free training. The main change mandates that training must occur during regular, paid working hours, or staff must receive full compensation, including overtime, if training is scheduled outside those hours. This protects the financial stability and labor rights of school food service personnel.
Key points
Training for school food service personnel must be provided free of charge and scheduled during regular, paid working hours.
If training occurs outside regular hours, staff must be fully compensated (including overtime) and cannot be penalized or discriminated against for non-attendance.
The goal is to enhance the quality and safety of meals served to children through better-trained staff.
