555  Pay for school‑based trainees

Rate of pay is an hourly rate for work on‑the‑job

 (1) The rate of pay for a school‑based trainee is the rate as follows, paid only for hours worked on‑the‑job:
 (a) for a calendar year in which the school‑based trainee is enrolled in a Year up to and including Year 11—$7.27 per hour;
 (b) for a calendar year in which the school‑based trainee is enrolled in Year 12 or a later Year—$7.99 per hour.

This section does not limit pay

 (2) To avoid doubt, this section does not operate to prevent the school‑based trainee from receiving a rate of pay more generous than the rate specified by subsection (1).

 (3) This section does not apply to a school‑based trainee if:
 (a) a wage instrument covers the work of the school‑based trainee; and
 (b) the wage instrument specifies the rate of pay for the school‑based trainee; and
 (c) the wage instrument does so by making specific provision for school‑based trainees.
