Schedule of Wage Rates - Apprentice Table: British Columbia - South Interior Zone

South Interior Zone Schedule | Map of British Columbia | Index of Schedules

Wages Rate as of: May 25, 2006

For apprentices registered in an apprenticeship program established by the provincial government, or its designated agency, in a trade listed below, the fair wage rates on the federal Fair Wage Schedules for all zones in British Columbia may be modified according to the table below. The rates in the table are in accordance with rates established for apprentices in these trades in the province under the authority of the Apprenticeship and Industry Training Act.

In the event of an inspection or a complaint investigation by an HRSDC Labour Program inspector, both contractors and workers should be prepared to produce copies of the apprenticeship contract, and evidence of its registration with the British Columbia Industrial Training and Apprenticeship Commission, to demonstrate the worker's eligibility for the modified fair wage rate, and to confirm the percentage by which that rate may be altered.

If there is no apprenticeship contract, or the document cannot be made available, the worker(s) must be paid the full rate on the Fair Wage Schedule for the occupation most closely resembling the work being performed.

* Denotes a compulsory trade: a trade licence or apprenticeship registration valid in British Columbia is required to work in the occupation.
