WAGES DURING CAMPS
APPRENTICES MUST BE PAID (From Our Resident. Reporter) WELLINGTON, To-day. For over a year the Employers’ Federation ha** been endeavouring to make the Government move in the matter of lifting the burden of paying wages to apprentices during their absence in military training camps. Now, somewhat to its consternation, it has discovered that the matter is already governed by Statute and that the proper quarter to which to make application is the Arbitration Court.
All trades apprentices are governed by apprenticeship regulations, and at present the employer is compelled to pay the boy full wages during his absence in camp. Authority is wanted to deduct at least the amount of his military pay, but before any variation ran be made in the terms of the boy’s employment an order must come from the Court. Consequently the Arbitration Court will be asked to define its attitude at an early date.
