13.2. Employees reported as Apprentices not properly registered or are utilized at the jobsite in excess of the ration of journeyperson permitted under the approved program, must be paid the applicable Total Hourly Rate for that work.

13.3. The proper Total Hourly Compensation Rates to be paid to Apprentices are:
a) as set out in the Fair Wage Schedule; or

b) where no Apprentice rate or calculation is identified in the Fair Wage Schedule, as specified by a particular industry program in which they are enrolled, expressed as a percentage of the journeyperson rate on the wage determination, multiplied by 24%

14. Fair Wage Schedule Update

14.1. Unless otherwise approved by Council, the Manager of Procurement shall update Total Hourly Compensation Rates each year to reflect a “two-year lag” rather than a three-year lag in accordance with the following:

a) based upon the wages set out in the respective collective agreements two years prior to the current year. For example, the updated rates in 2025 shall be based upon the 2023 hourly rates (two years preceding 2025);
b) calculated by increasing the respective collective agreement’s hourly wage rates by no more than 24%; and
c) frozen for the two-year term, pending a review by the Ad Hoc Committee of transitioning to a one-year lag effective 2026, unless otherwise approved by Council.
