employment which does not guarantee the employee a regular wage or salary such as commission-based positions, sub-contracting, casual or piece-rate work; or business arrangements between the employer and employee (Australian Apprentice) where the employee is a partner/director in the employer’s business, the trustee of a trust, a franchisee or a shareholder who has a substantial financial concern in the business. This includes business arrangements between an employee and a host employer where the employee is employed by a GTO; or where the Australian Apprentice is a primary school student. Young people who are primary school students at the commencement of an Australian Apprenticeship and move to secondary school do not attract payments under the Programme while they continue in that Australian Apprenticeship; or employment arrangements which specify contract or seasonal employment; or the Australian Apprentice is employed in a Supported Wage Arrangement and is paid according to a productivity or competency based arrangement as a proportion of wages set by an award. Where there is reasonable doubt about the validity of the employment arrangements, access to payments under the Programme should be rejected.
