S. 5.5.5(3) amended by No. 12/2018 s. 58.
If a training contract or an employment agreement or any other contract of employment to which an apprentice is a party does not at any time comply with a term or condition of employment applicable under clause 6(1) of Schedule 4, it must then, for the purposes of section 26 of the Long Service Leave Act 2018, be taken to have effect as if it did.
A training contract or an employment agreement or any other contract of employment entered into by an employer in contravention of subsection (2) is not, for that reason only, illegal, void or unenforceable.
