Employment of registered appren6ces; wages; standards; number; apprenHceable craft or trade; exemprions; contributions; compliance program a)(1) This chapter does not prevent the employment upon public works of properly registered apprentices who are active par[icipants in an approved apprenticeship program. 2) For purposes of this chapter, "apprenticeship program" means a program under the jurisdiction of[he Califomia Apprenticeship Council established pursuant to Section 3070. b)(1) Every apprentice employed upon public works shall be paid the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the[rade to which he or she is registered and shall be employed only at the work of the craft or trade to which he or she is registered. Attachment No. 1 ponn Page 9 of 13 2) Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, when a contractor requests the dispatch of an apprentice pursuant to this section to perform work on a public works project and requires the apprentice to fill out an application or undergo testing, training, an examination, or other preemployment process as a condition of employment, the apprentice shall be paid for the time spent on the required preemployment activity,including travel time to and from the required activity, if any, at the prevailing rate of per diem wages for apprentices in the trade to which he or she is registered. Unless otherwise provided by a collective bargaining agreement, a contractor is not required to compensate an apprentice for the time spent on preemployment activities if the apprentice is required to take a preemployment dnig or alcohol test and he or she fails to pass tha[test. c)Only apprentices, as defined in Section 3077, who aze in training under apprenticeship standards that have been approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and who are parties to written apprentice agreements under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 3070) of Division 3 are eligible to be employed at the apprentice wage rate on public works. The employment and training of each apprentice shall be in accordance with either of the following: 1)The apprenticeship standards and apprentice agreements under which he or she is training. 2)The rules and regulations of the Califomia Apprenticeship Council. d) If the contractor to whom the contract is awarded by the state or any political subdivision, in perfonning any of the work under the contract, employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade,the contractor shall employ apprentices in at least the ratio set forth in this section and may apply to any apprenticeship program in the craft or trade that can provide apprentices to the site of the public work for a certificate approving the contractor under the apprenticeship standards for the employment and training of apprentices in the azea or industry affected. However,the decision of the apprenticeship program to approve or deny a certificate shall be subject to review by the Administrator of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program or programs,upon approving the contractor, shall arrange for the dispatch of apprentices to the contractor. A contractor covered by an apprenriceship program's standards shall not be required to submit any additional application in order to include additional public works contracts under that program. "Apprenticeable craft or trade," as used in this section, means a craft or trade determined as an apprenticeable occupation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the California Apprenticeship Council. As used in this section, "contractor" includes any subcontractor under a contractor who performs any public works not excluded by subdivision o). e) Before commencing work on a contract for public works, every contractor shall submit contract award information to an applicable apprenticeship progam that can supply apprentices to the site of the public work. The information submitted shall include an estimate of joumeyman hours to be performed under the contract, the number of apprentices proposed to be employed, and the approximate dates the apprentices would be employed. A copy of this information shall also be submitted to the awarding body, if requested by the awazding body. Within 60 days after concluding work on the contract, each contractor and subcontractor shall submit ro the awarding body, if requested, and to the apprenticeship program a verified statement of the journeyman and apprentice hours performed on the contract. The information under this subdivision shall be public. The apprenticeship programs shall retain this information for 12 months. fl The apprenticeship program supplying apprentices to the area of the site of the public work shall ensure equal employment and affirmative action in apprenticeship for women and minorities. Attachment No. 1 poiro Page 10 of 13 g) The ratio of work performed by apprentices to joumeymen employed in a particular craft or trade on the public work may be no higher than the ratio stipulated in the apprenticeship standards under which the apprenticeship program operates if the contractor agees to be bound by those standazds. However, except as otherwise provided in this section, in no case shall the ratio be less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours ofjourneyman work. h) This ratio of apprentice work to joumeyman work shall apply during any day or portion of a day when any joumeyman is employed at the jobsite and shall be computed on the basis of the hours worked during the day byjourneymen so employed. Any work per£ormed by a joumeyman in excess of eight hours per day or 40 hours per week shall not be used to calculate the ratio. The contractor shall employ apprentices for the number of hours computed as above before the end of the contract or, in the case of a subcontractor, before the end of the subconhact. However, the contractor shall endeavor,to the greatest extent possible, to employ apprentices during the same time period that the journeymen in the same craft or trade are employed at the jobsite. When an hourly apprenticeship ratio is not feasible for a particular crafr or trade, the Administrator of Apprenticeship, upon application of an apprenticeship program, may order a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice for each five journeymen in a craft or trade classification. i)A contractor covered by this section who has agreed to be covered by an apprenticeship program's standards upon the issuance of the approval cer[ificate, or who has been previously approved for an apprenticeship program in the craft or trade,shall employ the mtmber of apprentices or the ratio of apprentices to joumeymen stipulated in the applicable apprenticeship standards, but in no event less than the 1-to-5 ratio required by subdivision(g). j)Upon proper showing by a contractor that he or she employs apprentices in a particular craft or trade in the state on all of his or her contracts on an annual average of not less than one hour of apprentice work for every five hours of labor performed by journeymen, the Administrator of Apprenticeship may grant a certificate exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 hourly ratio, as set forth in this section for that craft or trade. k)An apprenticeship program has the discretion to grant to a participating contractor or contractor association a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exempting the contractor from the 1-to-5 ratio set forth in this section when it finds that any one of the following conditions is met: 1)Unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent. 2)The number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of 1 to 5. 3)There is a showing that the apprenticeable craft or hade is replacing at least one-thirtieth of its joumeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis. 4) Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition that would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety,or property of fellow employees or the public at lazge, or the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of a nature that training cannot be provided by a joumeyman. 1) If an exemption is granted pursuant to subdivision (k) to an organization that represents contractors in a specific trade from the 1-to-5 ratio on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors shall not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local joint apprenticeship committees, if they aze already covered by the local apprenticeship standards. Attachment No. 1 ronv Page 11 of 13 m)(1) A contractor to whom a contract is awarded, who, in performing any of the work under the contract, employs joumeymen or apprentices in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall contribute to the Califomia Apprenticeship Council the same amount that the director determines is the prevailing amount of apprenticeship training contributions in the area of the public works site. A contractor may take as a credit for payments to the council any amounts paid by the contractor to an approved apprenticeship program that can supply apprentices to the site of the public works project. The contractor may add the amount of the contributions in computing his or her bid for the contract. 2)(A) At the conclusion of the 2002-03 fiscal year and each fiscal yeaz thereafter, the Califomia Apprenticeship Council shall distribute training contributions received by the council under this subdivision, less the expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for administering this subdivision, by making grants to approved apprenticeship programs for the purpose of training apprentices. The grant funds shall be distributed as follows: i) If there is an approved multiemployer apprenticeship program serving the same craft or trade and geographic area for which the training contributions were made to the council, a grant to that program shall be made. ii) If there are two or more approved multiemployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade and county for which the training contributions were made to the council, the grant shall be divided among those programs based on the number of apprentices from that counry registered in each program. iii) All fraining contributions not distributed under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be used to defray the future expenses of the Department of Industrial Relations for the administration and enforcement of apprenticeship and preapprenticeship standards and requirements under this code. B)An apprenticeship program shall only be eligible to receive grant funds pursuant to this subdivision if the apprenticeship program agrees,prior to the receipt of any grant funds,to keep adequate records that document the expenditure of grant funds and to make all records available to the Department of Industrial Relations so that the Department of Industrial Relations is able to verify that grant funds were used solely for training apprentices. For purposes of this subparagraph, adequate records include, but aze not limited to, invoices, receipts, and canceled checks that acwunt for the expenditure of grant funds. This subparagraph shall not be deemed to require an apprenticeship program to provide the Department of Industrial Relations with more documentation than is necessary to verify the appropriate expenditure of grant funds made pursuant to this subdivision. C)The Department of Industrial Relations shall verify that grants made pursuant to this subdivision are used solely to fund fraining apprentices. If an apprenticeship program is unable [o demonstrate how grant funds aze expended or if an apprenticeship program is found to be using grant funds for purposes other than training apprentices, then the apprenticeship program shall not be eligible to receive any future grant pursuant to this subdivision and the Department of Industrial Relations may initiate the process to rescind the registration of tbe apprenticeship program. 3) All training contributions received pursuant to this subdivision shall be deposited in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund, which is hereby created in the Sta[e Treasury. Upon appropriation by the Legislahue, all moneys in the Apprenticeship Training Contribution Fund shall be used for the purpose of carrying out this subdivision and to pay the expenses of the Deparhnent of Industdal Relations.
