WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 917

Additional conditions adjusted as necessary

             (1)  A school‑based trainee is entitled, in accordance with subsection (2), to any additional conditions (the full‑time conditions ) to which a full‑time trainee doing the same kind of work, in the same location and for the same employer would be entitled.

             (2)  The school‑based trainee is entitled to the full‑time conditions adjusted as necessary in proportion to the hours worked on‑the‑job by the school‑based trainee.

             (3)  For the purposes of subsection (2), the regulations may determine, or make provision for determining, either or both of the following:

                     (a)  whether particular full‑time conditions should be adjusted in proportion to the hours worked on‑the‑job by the school‑based trainee;

                     (b)  the method for adjusting particular full‑time conditions in proportion to the hours worked on‑the‑job by the school‑based trainee.

             (4)  Subsection (2) has effect subject to section 918.

This section does not limit additional conditions

             (5)  To avoid doubt, this section does not operate to prevent a school‑based trainee from receiving conditions more generous than those provided by this section.

School‑based trainees not covered by this section

             (6)  This section does not apply to a school‑based trainee if:

                     (a)  an award or notional agreement preserving State awards covers the employment of the school‑based trainee; and

                     (b)  the award or notional agreement preserving State awards specifies additional conditions for the school‑based trainee; and

                     (c)  the award or notional agreement preserving State awards does so by making specific provision for school‑based trainees.
