24. Apprentice Rates

The base rates of pay for apprentices employed by the University will be determined as a percentage of the salary paid by the University to HEW level 3 staff at incremental step 1. The percentages to be applied for the determination of those rates of pay will be as follows:

  • 1st year of apprenticeship - 50.0%
  • 2nd year of apprenticeship - 60.0%
  • 3rd year of apprenticeship - 75.0%
  • 4th year of apprenticeship - 95.0%

The calculation of each of the above percentages will be made to the nearest five cents, any broken part of five cents in the result not exceeding two cents to be disregarded.
