I am curious on how everyone bases apprentice wages. What are your expectations for a 1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr...? Do you have tests based on the NEC?
I have been basing pay on attendance, workmanship & work ethic for many years. I think I should kick it up a notch and require a little more knowledge of the NEC. Electricians that can follow specific instructions from their foreman are a dime a dozen now days.
Anyway, I am thinking about basing things on our local apprenticeship school. If you don't make the effort to learn, no raise. Our company deals in commercial work only.
Any thoughts?
