b. Trainees. <br />1 Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less <br />than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed <br />pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior <br />approval, evidenced by formal certification by the DOL, Employment and Training <br />Administration. <br />2. The ratio of trainees to journeyman -level employees on the job site shall not be <br />greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training <br />Administration Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not <br />registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and <br />Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the <br />wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any <br />trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the <br />registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage <br />determination for the work actually performed. <br />3 Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved <br />program for his/her level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman - <br />level hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination 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 />
