Section 126 — Fair Work Act 2009: Modern awards and enterprise agreements may provide for school-based apprentices and trainees to be paid loadings in lieu

A modern award or enterprise agreement may provide for school-based apprentices or school-based trainees to be paid loadings in lieu of any of the following: (a) paid annual leave; (b) paid personal/carer’s leave; (c) paid absence under Division 10 (which deals with public holidays). Note: Section 199 affects whether the FWC may approve an enterprise agreement covering an employee who is a school-based apprentice or school-based trainee, if the employee is covered by a modern award that is in operation and provides for the employee to be paid loadings in lieu of paid annual leave, paid personal/carer’s leave or paid absence under Division 10.
