90 days grace period is a better solution for new hire employees because of lifestyle factors such as money requirements, transportation and also scheduling restraints. Some new employees may be relying on this job for a first source of income and therefore would need time to have the money to even go and have CPR training. For others there are factors such as transportation and scheduling. Some employees who are parents themselves will have to make arrangements to have their own children taken care of in order to provide the time to take the 8 -hour training course.
