who are indentured and employed in a bona fide apprenticeship
program and individually registered by the program sponsor with
the Delaware Department of Labor. (Concepts and Definitions)
B.) Apprentices and SSP Trainees will be permitted
to work as such on State contracts in excess of $100,000 for
new construction or $15,000 for alteration, repair, renovation,
rehabilitation, demolition or reconstruction only when they
are registered with the Department of Labor or an approved SSP
Training Program. (Concepts and Definitions)
C.) The ratio of apprentices to mechanics on the
site of any work covered by 29 Del.C. '6960 in any craft classification
may not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor
for the entire workforce under the registered apprenticeship
program. Any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess
of the ratio permitted under the registered program must be
paid not less than the wage rate that the applicable wage determination
specifies for the work (s)he actually performs. Entitlement
to mechanic's wages shall be based upon seniority in the apprenticeship
program or (in the case of equal seniority) seniority on the
job site. (Concepts and Definitions)
