Hi could anyone let me know how much my son should be on , he is 18yrs old and in his 2nd year of his apprenticeship many thanks 

 
It does say that & also he has questioned his boss who seems to think he has got to be 19 

 
JIB  Rates of pay .  2018     NOT London area

Assuming  he is a Grade 2   Apprentice   (2nd year) 

Transport provided    £7.29

Own Transport            £8.16

Workshop only             £ 6.70  

(  We are talking about an  Apprentice Electrician  I take it  ??)

Thanks Sharpend , it is the law I would of thought & that's why it's been put in place 

 
It seems abit of a grey area really, any bosses out there who have got apprentices on their books with any information or advice 

 
What is he being paid? Why is the reason you're asking?

You have to remember, even a second year guy is still a burden to the company, an he is getting paid, albeit not much for hands on training. 

I don't agree with using them as slave labour, or a dogsbody.

It puts many youngsters off apprenticeships - they can get a job at Tesco on higher money. By the time they have worked out that an apprenticeship mihjt be  agood idea, you tend to find you have to pay as an mature apprentice, which puts off potential employers.

Think my apprentice wage was £15 a week - dole money was about the same.
