During the probationary period either the apprentice or the Sponsor may terminate the Apprenticeship <br />Agreement, without stated cause, by notifying the other party in writing. The records for each <br />probationary apprentice will be reviewed prior to the end of the probationary period. Records may <br />consist of periodic reports regarding progression made in both the OJL and related instruction, and <br />any disciplinary action taken during the probationary period. <br />Any probationary apprentice evaluated as satisfactory after a review of the probationary period will be <br />given full credit for the probationary period and continue in the program. <br />After the probationary period the Apprenticeship Agreement may be canceled at the request of the <br />apprentice, or may be suspended or canceled by the Sponsor for reasonable cause after documented <br />due notice to the apprentice and a reasonable opportunity for corrective action. In such cases, the <br />Sponsor will provide written notice to the apprentice and to the Registration Agency of the final action <br />taken. <br />Apprentices will generally work the same hours as journeyworkers, except that no apprentice will be <br />allowed to work overtime if it interferes with attendance in 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 the required number of hours of training are accrued. <br />SECTION XI — APPRENTICE WAGE PROGRESSION — Title 29 CFR 29.5(b)(5) <br />Apprentices will be paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages during their apprenticeship <br />based on the acquisition of increased skill and competence on-the-job and in related instruction. <br />Before an apprentice is advanced to the next segment of training or to journeyworker status, the <br />Sponsor will evaluate all progress to determine whether advancement has been earned by <br />satisfactory performance in their OJL and in related instruction courses. In determining whether <br />satisfactory progress has been made, the Sponsor will be guided by the work experience and related <br />instruction records and reports. <br />The progressive wage schedule will be an increasing percentage of the journeyworker wage rate. <br />The wage progression that will be applied and the applicable journeyworker rate are shown on the <br />attached Wage Structure Page, Appendix Al. In no case will the starting wages of apprentices be <br />less than that required by any minimum wage law which may be applicable. <br />SECTION XII — CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE — Title 29 CFR 29.5(b)(12) and 30.4(c)(8) <br />The Sponsor may grant credit towards the term of apprenticeship to new apprentices who <br />demonstrate previous acquisition of skills or knowledge equivalent to that which would be received <br />under these 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 and affidavits as <br />may ber required to substantiate the claim. Applicants requesting such credit who are selected into <br />the ' apprenticeship program will start at the beginning wage rate. The request for credit ,will be <br />
