An apprentice shall make every effort to complete training in accordance with the standards and policies established by these Rules and Regulations. An apprentice who is absent from related instruction class sessions, unless officially excused, shall satisfactorily complete all classroom work missed before being advanced to the next period of training. In case of failure of an apprentice to fulfill the obligation regarding classroom or on the job training without due cause, the Local Apprenticeship Committee shall take the necessary disciplinary action.

The local Apprenticeship Committee may cancel the apprenticeship agreement, and remove for cause an apprentice from the training program at any time for failure to comply with the apprenticeship agreement, or with registered standards.

Before invoking any disciplinary action, the Local Apprenticeship Committee must notify an apprentice to appear before the Local Apprenticeship Committee. If an apprentice fails to appear before the Local Apprenticeship Committee after due notice, disciplinary action may be invoked in accordance with the Local Apprenticeship Committee standards. In the absence of a Local Apprenticeship Committee, the State Electrical Apprenticeship Committee shall function in their stead.

The State Electrical Apprenticeship Committee serves as the appeal board for the Local Apprenticeship Committees and on training standards interpretations. Any person or firm may appeal directly to the State Electrical Apprenticeship Committee for review.
