Apprentice Authorization Act Sample Clauses

Apprentice Authorization Act. In accordance with NRS 338.01165 and NRS 338.090 (Senate ▇▇▇▇ SB207, effective January 1, 2020) a contractor or subcontractor engaged on a public work to employ one or more apprentices for a certain percentage of the total hours of labor performed on a public work, depending on the type of work performed. This requirement applies to any and all public work projects where prevailing wage requirements apply and where the contract is awarded on or after January 1, 2020. The Apprentice Utilization Act states in part: “A contractor or subcontractor employing a worker defined in NRS 338.40…shall use one or more apprentices for at least 10% of the total hours on vertical construction and 3% of the total hours for horizontal construction of labor worked for each apprenticed craft or type of work performed on the public work when more than three employees of each craft are employed at the site of work.” Before award, the Labor Commissioner may provide a waiver based upon “good cause”. Good cause is defined as: 1) There are no apprentices available from an apprenticeship program within the jurisdiction the public work is to be performed; 2) The Contractor or subcontractor tasks on the public work require skill and expertise of a greater percentage of journeyman; or 3) The contractor or subcontractor has requested apprentices from an apprenticeship program and the request has been denied or the request has not been approved within five (5) business days. By signing this Contract, the Contractor verifies that NRS 338.01165 and NRS 338.090 are being followed and any waivers needed were submitted to the awarding body and approved by the Labor Commissioner prior to this Award.
