IRC-2304_AGRE EMENT 202311212024011 <br />Annual Asphalt Paving and Resurfacing <br />Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of <br />probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually <br />registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer <br />and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary <br />employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any <br />craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work <br />force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not <br />registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on <br />the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice <br />performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be <br />paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. <br />Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its <br />program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly <br />rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every <br />apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's <br />level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable <br />wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the <br />apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must <br />be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable <br />classification. If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable <br />apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the <br />Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or a State Apprenticeship Agency <br />recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer <br />be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed <br />until an acceptable program is approved. <br />(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than <br />the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually <br />registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. <br />Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on <br />the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training <br />Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for <br />the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the <br />applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of <br />the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the <br />full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and <br />Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding <br />journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for <br />apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating <br />in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the <br />applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In <br />addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered <br />program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work <br />actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a <br />training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable <br />predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. <br />(iii) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen <br />under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive <br />Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30. <br />
