Seems to me they pay the day or the mile as a trainee. But I'm no expert. Wait a few, some will come along better to answer.
Who have you talked to?

Most companies I have seen pay either by the week or by the mile during OTJ training.

I have seen one that said they paid by the day. I forgot who. but it didn't really mean anything because it said something like $65 a day up to $350 a week. So i guess that means if your trainer is home for 5 days and you are in a hotel you might not be getting paid for that time. Most pay per week.
