(4175) PRIVATE HOSPITALS, AGED CARE AND DISABILITY SERVICES INDUSTRY (TRAINING) (STATE) AWARD

(a) Full-Time Traineeships -

(i) A Trainee shall be engaged as a full-time employee for a maximum of one year’s duration that a Trainee shall be subject to a satisfactory probation period of up to one month, which may be reduced at the discretion of the Employer. By agreement in writing, and with the consent of the relevant Training Authority, the Employer and the Trainee may vary the duration of the Traineeship and the extent of approved training, provided that any agreement
to vary is in accordance with the relevant Traineeship.

(ii) Where the Trainee completes the qualification in the Training Contract earlier than the time specified in the Training Contract then the Traineeship may be concluded by mutual
agreement.

(iii) Unless the relevant NSW Training Authority otherwise directs, the maximum duration for a Traineeship shall be 36 months.

(b) Part-Time Traineeships -

(i) A Trainee shall be engaged as an employee on a part time basis by working less than full time ordinary hours.

(ii) For traineeships not covered by Clause 7(a)(ii), the formula displayed in subclause (iii)
for the calculation of wage rates shall apply.

(iii) The wage rate shall be pro rata the full time rates based on variation in the amount of training and/or the amount of work over the period of the traineeship, which may also be varied on the basis of the following formula.

Full time Wage Rate X Trainee hours-Average weekly training time
30.4

Note: 30.4 in the above formula represents 38 ordinary full time hours less the average
training time for full time trainees (i.e. 20%).

(iv) "Full time wage rate" means the appropriate rate as set out in Part B, Monetary Rates.

(v) "Trainee hours" shall be the hours worked per week including the time spent in approved vocational training. For the purpose of this definition, the time spent in approved vocational training may be taken as an average for that particular year of the Traineeship.

(vi) "Average weekly training time" is based upon the length of the Traineeship specified in the Training Contract or the Training Contract as follows:

7.6 x 12 Length of the Traineeship in months

Note 1: 7.6 in the above formula represents the average weekly training time for a full
time Trainee whose ordinary hours are 38 per week.

Note 2: The parties note that the Training Contract will require a Trainee to be employed for sufficient hours to complete all requirements of the Traineeship, including the on-the- job work experience and demonstration of competencies. The parties also note that this would normally result in the equivalent of a full day’s on-the-job work per week.

(4175) PRIVATE HOSPITALS, AGED CARE AND DISABILITY SERVICES INDUSTRY (TRAINING) (STATE) AWARD

(vii) A part-time Trainee shall receive, on a pro rata basis, all employment conditions
applicable to a full time Trainee. All the provisions of this Award shall apply to part-time Trainees except as specified in this clause.

(viii) A part time Trainee may, by agreement, transfer from a part time to a full-time
Traineeship position should one become available.

(ix) The minimum engagement periods specified in the Parent Award shall also be applicable to part-time Trainees.

(x) Minimum and maximum hours of work for part-time employees specified in the parent award shall apply to part-time Trainees also.

Example of the Calculation for the Wage Rate for a Part-time Traineeship

A school student commences a traineeship in Year 11. The ordinary hours of work in the parent award are 38. The training contract specifies 2 years (24 months) as the length of the traineeship.

"Average weekly training time" is therefore:

7.6 x 12/24 = 3.8 hours

"Trainee hours" total 15 hours; these are made up of 11 hours' work which are worked over 2 days of the week plus 1-1/2 hours on-the-job training plus 2-1/2 hours off-the-job approved training at school and at TAFE.

So the wage rate in Year 11 is:

$221.00 x 15 - 3.8 = $81.42

30.4

plus any applicable penalty rates under the parent award.

The wage rate varies when the student completes Year 11 and passes the anniversary date
of 1 January the following year to begin Year 12 and/or if "trainee hours" change.

(c) School-based Traineeships -

(i) School-based Trainees shall not be required to attend work during the interval starting four weeks prior to the commencement of the final Higher School Certificate examination period and ending upon the completion of the individual’s last examination period.

(ii) For the purposes of this award, a School-based Trainee shall become an Ordinary
Trainee as January 1 of the year following in which they cease to be a school student.

(d) An Employer shall not terminate the employment of a Trainee without firstly having provided written notice of termination to the Trainee, and to the Relevant NSW Training Authority in
accordance with the Training Contract or Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act 2001 (NSW).

An Employer who chooses not to continue the employment of a Trainee upon the completion of the
Traineeship shall notify , in writing, the relevant NSW Training Authority of their decision.

(e) The Trainee will be permitted to be absent from work without loss of continuity of employment and/or wages to attend the training in accordance with the Training Contract.

(f) Where the employment of a Trainee by an Employer is continued after the completion of the
Traineeship period, such Traineeship period shall be counted as service for the purposes of the Parent
Award or any other legislative entitlements.

(g) (i) The Training Contract may restrict the circumstances under which the Trainee may work overtime and shiftwork in order to ensure that the training program is successfully c ompleted.

(ii) No Trainee shall work overtime or shiftwork on their own unless consistent with the provisions of the Parent Award.

(iv) The Trainee wage shall be the basis for the calculation of overtime and/or shift penalty rates prescribed by the Parent Award.

(h) All other terms and conditions of the Parent Award that are applicable to the Trainee but for this award shall apply unless specifically varied by this Award.
