I was just informed that my company will be having a mandatory staff meeting outside normal business hours and we cannot put these hours on our time sheets, so we will not be compensated.
Can he do this?

I am paid hourly, and this meeting is to address a variety of different work subjects.

Depends on if you are hourly or salaried.
If salaried, sorry, nothing extra.
If hourly, you can complain to the state's BBB and the state's District Attourney for where you are.

Basically, this kind of meetings count to work time and if you can not get it paid through your work time sheets, you should get compensation through free time at another time spot close to the meeting (very important for workers with family at home).
The case is different, if the meeting has the kind of a reward for good work and takes place at a leisure place. Then the meeting is less formal but still binding enough that you would not want to miss it (in order to not loose your good position in your team).

Anything to do with work, including a staff meeting, requires some sort of compensation. Every restuarant i have ever worked at paid us for going to meetings. If you are not getting paid to go to meetings, go to a higher up or complain to the United Labor Agency or something like that.

It can be done if you earn a salary as opposed to an hourly wage. Is it really that big of a deal, though? Maybe the meeting is to tell you you are getting a raise. Or maybe you are all getting fired and it won't make a difference.

No I am a Personal Trainer as well no way would I stay for a meeting if I was not getting paid. If it's in her job contract it could be legal. She does have a contract right? I don't know any Trainers who don't if she doesn't she needs to get one. If that being the case it's not legal what her boss is doing you have to pay your help for their time it's the law of the land.

There might be differences in labor law per state.
In general the company should pay you OT (over time), if worked 40 hr/wk. Non exempt 1.5 / hr, Exempt (salary) normally doesn't get any OT, but depending on the company's policy, if they do, an exempt gets 1.0/ hr.
Check your state web site - labor law or check with your HR department and ask them for the HR policies. A good company looking out for their employees will have them staged on their intranet or accessible to their employees.
