(3.) At the end of the period of apprenticeship the employer shall give the apprentice a certificate to show that the apprentice has served such period of apprenticeship. Should the employer at any time before the termination of the apprenticeship wish for any reason to dispense with the services of the apprentice, he shall give such apprentice a certificate for the time served, and procure him or her another employer carrying on business within a reasonable distance of the original employer's place of business, who will continue to teach the apprentice, and to pay the wages prescribed by this award according to the total length of time served, and generally to perform the obligation of the original employer: Provided that it shall not be obligatory upon an employer to find the apprentice another employer if the apprentice shall so misconduct himself or herself as to entitle the employer to discharge such apprentice, but he shall give the apprentice a certificate covering the time actually served.

(4.) An employer taking an apprentice shall give notice thereof, and of the name of the apprentice, to the Inspector of Factories, and also to the Secretary of the Workers' Union, within one week after the expiration of the period of probation, and an employer transferring an apprentice to another employer shall similarly, within one week thereof, give notice of such transfer to such Inspector and also to such Secretary.

(5.) An employer shall not be deemed to discharge his duty towards his apprentice if he fails to keep such apprentice at work owing to slackness of work, but such slackness may form a proper ground for transferring the apprentice to a master willing to undertake the responsibility of teaching him or her.

(6.) When an apprentice is discharged for cause the employer shall send notice of the discharge, and the cause thereof, to the Inspector of Factories and also the Secretary of the Worker's Union.

(7.) Existing arrangements with or relating to apprentices now serving an employer may continue, provided that an employer wishing such arrangements to continue shall forward the names of his present apprentices to the Inspector of Factories and also to the Secretary of the Workers' Union within one month after the filing of this award.

(8.) No deduction shall be made from the wages of an apprentice except for time lost through the worker's own default, and the apprentice shall make up such lost time before the following year of his apprenticeship shall be deemed to commence; and the total period of his apprenticeship shall be extended for a period equal to such lost time.

Preference.

In the event of any employer hereafter engaging any worker who shall not be a member of the union, and who within one calendar month after his engagement shall not become a member of the union, the employer shall dismiss such worker from his service if required to do so by the union, provided there is then a member of the union equally competent to perform the particular work required to be done and ready and willing to undertake the same.

(b.) The provisions of the foregoing clause shall operate if and only so long as the rules of the union shall permit any person of good character and sober habits to become a member of the union upon payment of an entrance fee not exceeding 5s., upon a written or verbal application, without ballot or other election, and to continue a member upon payment of subsequent contributions not exceeding 6d. per week.
