MILITARY TRAINING
AND APPRENTICES’ WAGES EMPLOYERS BOUND TO PAY DURING ABSENCE Is it competent employer to make a deduction from the wages of an engineer apprentice for absence while attending compulsory military training camps? This question, which arose under the engineers’ award, was the subject of an opinion filed by the Court of Arbitration yesterday. “The award is silent on the matter of time lost through absence from work due to compulsory attendance at military training camps,” said the Court. “Such absence from work cannot come under the heading of sickness, default, or voluntary absence, and an employer is permitted to make deductions for time lost by an apprentice only when his absence is due to one of tho causes specified. ... An employer is, in our opinion, bound to pay tho wages of an apprentice whose absence from work is caused by his compulsory attendance at a military training camp.”
