Stgte AppaTenfic. e_ship A~ency recognized by the Bureau, or i'f a person is employed in his or her firsi' 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or other- wise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the appli- cable wage rate on the wage determination for the classiHcation of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the ~'egistered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a con- tractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios'and wage rates (ex- pressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be ob- served. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate speci- fied in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship pro- gram. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Ad- ministrator determines that a different practice prevails for the appli- cable apprentice classification, fringes shall be .paid in accordance form HUD-4010 (2/84) Previous edition is obsolete Page 2 of 4 ref.

The ratio of trainees to journey- men on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage deter- mination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprentice- shil~ program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage deter- mination for the work actually performed.
