Subs. by Act 29 of 2014, s. 7, for section 8 (w.e.f. 22-12-2014). 10 (3A) by the State Apprenticeship Adviser or such other person referred to in that sub- section. (3) The State Apprenticeship Adviser may, by notice in writing, require an employer to engage such number of trade apprentices within the ratio determined by the State Government for any designated trade in his establishment, to undergo apprenticeship training in that trade and the employer shall comply with such requisition: Provided that in making any requisition under this sub-section, the State Apprenticeship Adviser shall have regard to the facilities actually available in the establishment concerned: Provided further that the State Apprenticeship Adviser may, on a representation made to him by an employer and keeping in view the more realistic employment potential, training facilities and other relevant factors, permit him to engage such number of apprentices for a designated trade as is lesser than the number arrived at by the ratio for that trade, not being lesser than thirty percent of the number so arrived at, subject to the condition that the employer shall engage apprentices in other trades in excess in number equivalent to such shortfall. (3A) The State Apprenticeship Adviser or any other person not below the rank of an Assistant Apprenticeship Adviser authorised by the State Apprenticeship Adviser in writing in this behalf shall, having regard to- (i) the number of managerial person (including technical and supervisory persons) employed in a designated trade; (ii) the number of management trainees engaged in the establishment; (iii) the totality of the training facilities available in a designated trade; and (iv) such other factors as he may consider fit in the circumstances of the case; by notice in writing, require an employer to impart training to such number of graduate or technician apprentices or technician (vocational) apprentices in such trade in his establishment as may be specified in such notice and the employer shall comply with such requisition. Explanation.-In this sub-section the expression “management trainee” means a person who is engaged by an employer for undergoing a course of training in the establishment of the employer (not being apprenticeship training under this Act) subject to the condition that on successful completion of such training, such person shall be employed by the employer on a regular basis. (4) Several employers may join together for the purpose of providing practical training to the apprentices under them by moving them between their respective establishments. (5) Where, having regard to the public interest, a number of apprentices in excess of the ratio determined by the State Government or in excess of the number specified in a notice issued under sub-section (3A) should in the opinion of the State Government be trained, the State Apprenticeship Adviser may require employers to train the additional number of apprentices. (6) Every employer to whom such requisition as aforesaid is made, shall comply with the requisition if the State Government concerned makes available such additional 11 facilities and such additional financial assistance as are considered necessary by the State Apprenticeship Adviser for the training of the additional number of apprentices. (7) Any employer not satisfied with the decision of the State Apprenticeship Adviser under sub-section (6), may make a reference to the State Apprenticeship Council and such reference shall be decided by a Committee thereof appointed by the State Apprenticeship Council for the purpose and the decision of that Committee shall be final.”.
