Text Content
It might benefit your business to employ young workers as apprentices or trainees. An apprenticeship or traineeship combines work and formal training. The formal training can be with a registered training organisation or 'on-the-job'. It can also be a combination of both, depending on how the apprenticeship or traineeship is structured. To employ someone as an apprentice or trainee you must register a formal Training Agreement for them. The apprentice or trainee might have to be paid a special pay rate under their award or enterprise agreement. This is usually based on their progress through their training. For trainees, this is usually based on the level of school they completed and how long ago they completed it.

Otherwise, you can't use the apprentice/trainee award pay rates in the award or enterprise agreement, even if you are 'training' them on the job.
