Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024

(1) Apprentices will be permitted to work upon a public works project at less than the prevailing rate of wage for the work performed when they are employed by a registered training agent pursuant to ORS 660.010(10), and are working pursuant to the standards of the apprentice's apprenticeship program, and are individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with:

(a) The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship (OA); or

(b) A state apprenticeship agency recognized by the OA; or

(c) If a person is employed in 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 OA or a state apprenticeship agency to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.

(2) The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen in any craft classification must conform to the apprenticeship standards filed with the Oregon Apprenticeship and Training Council for the particular craft or program in which the contractor's or subcontractor's apprentices are registered.

(3) The contractor or subcontractor will be required to furnish to the contracting officer or a representative of the Wage and Hour Division written evidence of the registration of the program and apprentices as well as the appropriate ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeymen hourly rates) prescribed in that program. The commissioner has prepared a form, WH-120, which can be used by contractors or subcontractors in complying with this rule. Use of this form is optional.

(4) Notwithstanding section (1) of this rule, apprentices must be paid the full prevailing rate of wage when the program in which they are registered is located in a state contiguous to Oregon which does not recognize apprentices registered in a program approved by the Oregon State Apprenticeship and Training Council.

Forms referenced are available from the agency.
