S.L. 594.4 Art. 8Classes of instruction.

The employer shall afford to the apprentices facilities for attending during the term of apprenticeship such classes of instruction as the Minister responsible for labour may by order determine. Such classes shall not take up more than ten hours in any one week, and if such classes occur 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.
