"Equivalent training stage" recognises that
credit may be given for training undertaken prior to the commencement of the
apprenticeship or that progression through the wage scale may be accelerated or
that the provisions of clause 4B, School Based Apprentices, apply.
4A.2 Apprentices who
reach the age of 21 years prior to completion of their apprenticeship shall be
paid the rate provided in subclause 4A.1 of this clause for an Adult at age 21
or over regardless of the Year of Apprenticeship.
4B. School Based
Apprentices
4B.1 A school based
apprentice is an employee who is undertaking an apprenticeship under a training
contract while also enrolled in the Higher School Certificate.
4B.2 The hourly rates
for full time apprentices as set out in this Award shall apply to school based
apprentices for total hours worked including time deemed to be spent in
off-the-job training.
4B.3 For the purposes
of subclause 4B.2 of this clause, where a school based apprentice is a full
time school student, the time spent in off the job training for which the
school based apprentice is paid is deemed to be 25 per cent of the actual hours
worked on the job each week.
4B.4 The wages paid
for training time may be averaged over the school term or year.
4B.5 Where this Award
specifies a weekly rate for full time apprentices, the hourly rate shall be
calculated by dividing the applicable weekly rate by 38.
4B.6 School based
apprentices progress through the wage scale at the rate of 12 months’
progression for each two years of employment as an apprentice.
4B.7 The rates of pay
are based on a standard apprenticeship of four years. The rate of progression
reflects the average rate of skill acquisition expected from the typical
combination of work and training for a school based apprentice undertaking the
applicable apprenticeship.
4B.8 Where an
apprentice converts from a school based to a full-time apprenticeship, all time
spent as a full-time apprentice counts for the purpose of progression through
the wage scale set out in this Award. This progression applies in addition to
the progression achieved as a school based apprentice.
4B.9 Except as
provided by this clause, school based apprentices are entitled to pro rata
entitlements of all other conditions of employment contained in this Award.
4. Delete Table 2
