Required To Pay For Certification

I work as a waiter for a billion dollar corporation, have been an employee of the company for 7 months now. I have worked in the food service industry for near 10 years now.

Only twice before in my 10yrs of waiting tables have I been asked by my employer(s) to get servsafe certified, both times of which I have completed with no out of pocket costs.

Yesterday my manager instructed me to get my food handler certification and mentioned it being a $10 fee that I’m expected to pay out of pocket.

My question is, are corporate companies who require such certifications to maintain employment legally obligated to cover these costs?

I was not made aware of this requirement during the interview or onboarding process, and now 7 months later they’re saying that I’m required by law to possess this certification and it’s my financial responsibility.

I know it’s only $10 and that this may be a petty question, but I think it’s interesting that a large company would not cover these costs for their employees. Am I wrong to think this?
