WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 914

                   In this Part:

"additional condition" means a condition under an award or notional agreement preserving State awards.

"full-time apprentice" means a person employed on a full-time basis who is recognised, under the award or notional agreement preserving State awards that covers his or her employment, as an apprentice.

"full-time trainee" means a person employed on a full-time basis under a training arrangement who is not a full-time apprentice.

"school-based apprentice" means an employee:

                     (a)  whose employment is part of a school‑based training arrangement; and

                     (b)  who would, if employed full‑time under a training arrangement to do the same kind of work, in the same location and for the same employer, be a full‑time apprentice.

"school-based trainee" means an employee, other than a school-based apprentice, whose employment is part of a school-based training arrangement.

"school-based training arrangement" means a training arrangement undertaken as part of a course of secondary education.

"work on-the-job" , in relation to a school-based apprentice or school-based trainee, means work that contributes directly to the productive output of the employer of the school-based apprentice or school-based trainee.

Note:          So, for example, time spent studying or in other off‑the‑job training or education would not be work on‑the‑job for the purposes of this Part.
