A ‘New Entrant’ for the this training subsidy is: A person that has been employed
- for less than 3 months as a full-time, full-time equivalent part-time/casual (see NB1 for definition), or a combination of these prior to the commencement of the traineeship
- for less than 12 months as a part-time or part-time equivalent casual employee prior to the commencement of the traineeship
- for less than 12 months in a combination of part-time, casual and full-time (or equivalent) employment prior to the commencement of the traineeship
NB 1: Periods of part-time or casual employment where the learner is working 30 or more hours a week should be considered full-time "equivalent" for the purpose of these calculations. (Note: that implementation of this new criteria will become effective for all TCs lodged from 28 November 2016).
NB 2: When determining compliance under dot point 3, periods of full-time or full-time equivalent part-time/casual employment should be converted to part-time using a ratio of 1:4. For example, 1 week of full-time (or equivalent) employment equates to 4 weeks part-time OR 2 months of full-time (or equivalent) employment equates to 8 months part-time.
NB 3: A person who commences a School-Based Traineeship is deemed a new entrant trainee, regardless of how long they were employed by the same employer prior to commencing the traineeship. School based are required to under take 100 days of placement
In summary it is:
A person employed by the employer less than 3 months full time or working 30 hours or more OR employed less than 12 months if part time casual working less than 30 hours
