Are apprentices and trainees exempt from rateable remuneration?
Yes, some of this remuneration is exempt but it is subject to the training being an approved training scheme and to certain qualifications and restrictions. Note that from 1 July 2005, changes come into effect which limit the amount of trainee remuneration that can be exempt. It is important that you are aware of these before deciding that your remuneration is exempt. You can read more about this in the apprentices/trainees section or in the booklet Your WorkSafe Injury Insurance. You can also contact your WorkSafe agent for help.
