Apprentice Wage Percentage Progression
When a sponsor has a program with an occupation that is identified on Department of Labor Standards prevailing wage sheets as one that would require certified payrolls on a public project as described in Chapter 149 then the wage progression percentages will mirror that like occupation for the area. The sponsor will adjust the apprentice payroll amount for private jobs by setting the company journeyperson rate and maintaining the same wage progression rate.
