This legislation has been repealed.

WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 915

Additional conditions adjusted as necessary

             (1)  A school‑based apprentice is entitled, in accordance with subsection (2), to any additional conditions (the full‑time conditions ) to which a full‑time apprentice doing the same kind of work, in the same location and for the same employer would be entitled.

             (2)  The school‑based apprentice is entitled to the full‑time conditions adjusted as necessary in proportion to the hours worked on‑the‑job by the school‑based apprentice.

             (3)  For the purposes of subsection (2), the regulations may determine, or make provision for determining, either or both of the following:

                     (a)  whether particular full‑time conditions should be adjusted in proportion to the hours worked on‑the‑job by the school‑based apprentice;

                     (b)  the method for adjusting particular full‑time conditions in proportion to the hours worked on‑the‑job by the school‑based apprentice.

This section does not limit additional conditions

             (4)  To avoid doubt, this section does not operate to prevent the school‑based apprentice from receiving conditions more generous than those provided by this section.

School‑based apprentices not covered by this section

             (5)  This section does not apply to a school‑based apprentice if:

                     (a)  an award or notional agreement preserving State awards covers the employment of the school‑based apprentice; and

                     (b)  the award or notional agreement preserving State awards specifies additional conditions for the school‑based apprentice; and

                     (c)  the award or notional agreement preserving State awards does so by making specific provision for school‑based apprentices.
