| There are two kinds of apprentices. Apprentices under the Apprentices Act and the apprentices (whom are referred to as "Trainees" in commercial establishments including IT and ITES) under the Standing Orders. It is presumed that the apprentice referred to by you is in the category of "trainee". If the presumption is correct, please refer to the Model Standing Orders (if your Company has no Standing Orders approved by the Labour Department of the State in which your Company is functioning).
