The Motor Trade Association Group Training Scheme (MTA GTS) remains the legal employer for the full term of the contract of training and is responsible for WorkCover, superannuation, annual and sick leave, wages, payroll tax, training fees and tool allowance.
Apprentices are equipped with their own tools (if required), overalls and personal protective equipment.
The host employer is only charged for the apprentice’s time on-the-job, meaning that trade school, annual leave, sick days and public holidays are not invoiced.
Apprentices and host employers are visited every two months and a progress report is completed ensuring that all of the competencies required for the relevant vocation are being completed in the workplace and that any issues or concerns from either party are addressed.
