Document Overview
All employees must have a written apprenticeship agreement. An Apprenticeship Agreement allows you to layout clear expectations and responsibilities of your new employee. This agreement covers how training will be incorporated into the internship and how the apprenticeship will be approved and administered.
The Legal Risk Score of a Apprenticeship Agreement Template
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The agreement will comply with employment legislation as long as the template is adhered to.
- The agreement is simple to sign.
- The employee is required to complete specific apprenticeship documentation and gain approval from relevant authorities, which introduces a dependency on external administrative processes that could affect the commencement and continuity of their employment.
