(a) Each apprenticeship agreement shall conform to the provisions of Labor Code, Section 3078. The agreement shall be signed by the apprentice, the Chairperson or designee, the employing department's Apprenticeship Coordinator or Local Apprenticeship Subcommittee (LAS) representative, and the Department of Industrial Relations' Division of Apprenticeship Standards' (DAS) representative.

(b) Each apprentice shall have an approved apprenticeship agreement on file with the DAS and the LAS.

(c) If the employing department is unable to fulfill its obligations to train under any apprenticeship agreement, or in the event of a layoff, the CPOST may, with the approval of the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, transfer an individual apprenticeship agreement to any other employing department if the apprentice consents and the receiving employing department agrees to assume the obligation of the apprenticeship agreement.

(d) An apprenticeship agreement may be terminated by the LAS or the CPOST upon written request of the apprentice, the employing department, or by the LAS on its own initiative. The apprentice shall be provided an opportunity to appear and provide testimony before the LAS, prior to actual termination of the apprenticeship agreement. The LAS shall immediately terminate the apprenticeship agreement if the apprentice does not appeal the employment termination in the manner specified in State Personnel Board rules and regulations and Sections 6051 and 6052 of these regulations. When an appeal is filed, the termination shall not be finalized until all appeals have been completed.
