Trainees shall be <br />paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the <br />trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full <br />amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator <br />of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program <br />associated with the corresponding journeyman -level wage rate on the wage <br />determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices, in <br />which case such trainees shall receive the same fringe benefits as apprentices. <br />4. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a <br />training program, the contractor or subcontractor will no longer be permitted to utilize <br />trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until <br />an acceptable program is approved. <br />10 <br />F:\Engineering\Capital Projects\0216-12th Street Between 16th Avenue and 11th Place\0216 Federal Contract <br />Provisions.doc 8r.92008 3:06:25 PM <br />
