Section 22. Offer and acceptance of employment
(1) Every employer must formulate its own policy for recruiting apprentices who have completed their training in his establishment.
(2) Where a contract of apprenticeship conditions post-training service, the employer must, on successful completion, offer suitable employment, and the apprentice must serve for the period and remuneration specified in the contract.
Proviso: Where the Apprenticeship Adviser considers the specified period or remuneration unreasonable, he may revise it to a reasonable level, which is then deemed the agreed period/remuneration.
