cra <br />Apprenticeship <br />After the probationary period, the apprenticeship agreement may be cancelled at the request of the <br />apprentice or may be suspended or cancelled by the sponsor for reasonable cause after <br />documented due notice to the apprentice and a reasonable opportunity for corrective action. In <br />such cases, the sponsor will provide written notice to the apprentice and to the Registration Agency <br />of the final action taken. <br />SECTION IX - HOURS OF WORK <br />Apprentices will generally work the same hours as fully proficient workers (journeyworkers), <br />except that no apprentice will be allowed to work overtime if it interferes with attendance in <br />related instruction classes. <br />Apprentices who do not complete the required hours of OJL during a given segment will have the <br />term of that segment extended until they have accrued the required number of hours of training. <br />SECTION X - APPRENTICE WAGE PROGRESSION - 29 CFR § 29.5(b)(5) <br />Apprentices will be paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages and fringe benefits during <br />their apprenticeship based on the acquisition of increased skill and competence on the job and in <br />related instruction. Before an apprentice is advanced to the next segment of training or to fully <br />proficient or journeyworker status, the sponsor will evaluate all progress to determine whether <br />advancement has been earned by satisfactory performance in OJL and in related instruction <br />courses. In determining whether satisfactory progress has been made, the sponsor will be guided <br />by the work experience and related instruction records and reports. <br />The progressive wage schedule and fringe benefits will be an increasing percentage of the fully <br />proficient or journeyworker wage rate as established in the CBA. The percentages that will be <br />applied to the applicable fully proficient or journeyworker rate are shown on the attached Work <br />Process Schedule and Related Instruction Outline (Appendix A). In no case will the starting wages <br />of apprentices be less than that required by any minimum wage law that may be applicable. <br />SECTION XI - CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE - 29 CFR §§ 29.5(b)(12) and 30.4(c)(8) <br />The sponsor may grant credit toward the term of apprenticeship to new apprentices. Credit will be <br />based on demonstration of previous skills or knowledge equivalent to those identified in these <br />standards. <br />Apprentice applicants seeking credit for previous experience gained outside the supervision of the <br />sponsor must submit the request at the time of application and furnish such records, affidavits, and <br />other relevant documentation to substantiate the claim. An applicant who is a veteran and who <br />wishes to receive consideration for military training and/or experience must submit a DD-214. <br />Applicants requesting credit for previous experience who are selected into the apprenticeship <br />program will start at the beginning wage rate. The request for credit will be evaluated and a <br />determination made by the sponsor during the probationary period, when actual on-the-job and <br />related instruction performance can be examined. Prior to completion of the probationary period, <br />the amount of credit to be awarded will be determined after review of the apprentice's previous <br />MI Laborers Apprenticeship Standards Page 5 <br />
