II Employment Policy
- The Area III Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) and it’s
Approved Training Agents shall:
"Provide equal opportunity in the recruitment, selection, employment,
and training of apprentices without regards to race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, or age (where the
individual is 18 or older) in accordance with 29 CFR part 30".
"Uniformly apply rules and regulations concerning, but not limited to,
equality of wages, periodic advancement, rotation among all work processes of
the trade/occupation, assignment of work, imposition of penalties or other
disciplinary matters and all other aspects of the administration of an
apprenticeship program to all apprentices during their apprenticeship.
- It is the responsibility of the training agent to endeavor and to
maintain consistent employment for the apprentice. If the apprentice is
laid-off/terminated or ends employment, the apprentice and the training
agent must notify the Coordinator’s office immediately. The apprentice
will then be put on the "Out-of-Work" list.
- When the apprentice accepts employment with another employer the
apprentice must contact the coordinator’s office so the coordinator
can determine whether the employer is an Approved Training Agent, is
within ratio requirements and take the apprentice off the
"Out-of-Work" list.
- The apprentice shall be held responsible if he/she is not working for an
approved training agent. "On-the-job-training" (OJT) hours
accumulated during employment by a non-training agent will Not be counted
toward completion of his/her apprenticeship.
- A licensed General Journeyman Electrician must directly supervise an
apprentice on the job. YOU MUST NEVER WORK ALONE. The only exception to
this policy is apprentices possessing a 6500 hour or "Limited
Supervision" Card. Details regarding this card are found in this
handbook.
- Any apprentice found working in violation of the Licensing Law will be
cited to appear before the committee for disciplinary action up to and including
termination of his/her apprenticeship agreement.
