Does my employer have to pay me for training?

I was told at a new job I just got via email that I would be paid for training. So I got a babysitter and paid for a cab to make sure I was there on time. Some things went on a the training that had nothing to do with me. I was professional at all times and did what was asked of me. Now because of others actions at the training I am being told I wont be paid as well. Is this legal. Can an employer not pay me after they already told me they would and I paid for babysitter and cab. This seems illegal to me. I still have the email stating I would be paid.

    If you have it in writing that they were going to pay you while in training then they should. I would take it to the manager or HR department and address this issue w/them. If they are no help call the labor department see what they can do for you.

    Just go through the mail or written agreement which they gave to you...If there it is written that you are paid during training than no one can say no to you..you can take legal actions if required...show them the mail...get a valid agreement...and my personal experience is that mails never works hard...valid agreement or appointment or offer letter works in this case

    Best of Luck !!!
