Legal Question in Employment Law in Missouri
Can an employer require you to attend training? The training is job related and will allow the employee to develop a new skill set. The training is at no cost to the employee, but the employee has been asked to pay for hotel accommodation. The hotel accommodation will be reimbursed once the employee returns from the training.

An employer probagbly cannot physically force an employee to undergo specific training. However, an employee who is fired for failure to attend traingin may not be eligible for unemployment compensation. If the employee is not an at will employee, but rather part of an employment contract, then that contract will determine if the employee needs to attend training to keep theri job.
Good luck
