Conditions of employment
Apprentices and trainees may receive such entitlements as overtime, penalty rates, tool allowance and leave. However, the Department of Education and Training does not have authority to advise on these entitlements, as these issues are managed by Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94.
Workers' compensation
As an apprentice or trainee, you are entitled to workers' compensation in the same way as other employees. For more information, telephone WorkCover Queensland on 1300 362 128 or visit the WorkCover Queensland website.
Superannuation
Employers must pay superannuation into an approved fund for you, as they would for any other employee. Your employer should provide you with the appropriate superannuation paperwork on commencement. If you are under 18 years of age and not working more than 30 hours a week, your employer may not need to pay superannuation for you.
