COP 05-0702 Policy for Mandatory Training
Florida SouthWestern State College requires all regular employees to complete designated mandatory training as a condition of employment. This training is established by the College President or mandated by law, regulatory bodies, or as necessary to mitigate legal, financial, or physical risks to the institution. New employees must complete their assigned training within 60 calendar days of hire, while annual training must be completed within 30 days of each employee’s work anniversary. Non-compliance may result in restricted access to College IT systems and potential disciplinary action, including termination or contract cancellation. Supervisors are responsible for communicating training requirements, including additional role-specific training based on job duties, and ensuring timely completion. Time spent in mandatory or supervisor-required training is considered paid work time. All employees are accountable for meeting these training obligations as part of their job performance expectations.
