S.L. 594.2 Art. 10Classes of instruction.

The employer shall afford to any apprentice employed by him under this scheme facilities for attending during the period of apprenticeship such classes of instruction as the Minister may by order determine. Such classes shall not take up more than an average of eight hours per week, and if such classes are held during ordinary working hours the hours so spent shall be reckoned as hours of employment for the purposes of the payment of wages. The apprentice shall be bound to attend all classes determined as aforesaid. Should he fail so to attend on any day without just cause, the employer shall be entitled to make a deduction from the wages of the apprentice equivalent to one-twelfth of the weekly rate in respect of each half day or part thereof of default.
