Can I be asked to train new hires or coworkers?

You can, provided your employer expectations about managing your workload vs. training new hires are reasonable. An employer cannot double an employee's workload such that they are having to work day and night to both train new hires and complete their jobs. If the training impacts your employment in a very significant way, you may want to speak with your employer about this, or give us a call at the number below to discuss your situation in more detail.
