An employer must calculate an apprentice’s hourly basic rate of pay as follows. The employer shall multiply the journeypersons hourly basic rate of pay specified in the prevailing wage rate determination issued for a project, or multiply the hourly basic rate of pay specified in the apprentice’s indenture, whichever is greater, by the appropriate percentage specified in the apprentice’s indenture. In addition, all apprentices must receive fringe benefits at the same percentage used to calculate the hourly basic rate of pay. An apprentice can only receive this reduced rate of pay if they perform work within the scope of their indenture.
