How to Approve Wage Progressions/Increases for Apprentices

Learn how to review apprentices in need of wage increases and approve, deny, and comment on those increases.

  • Regulators and sponsors have default access to approve wage progressions; however they can authorize other users to perform this function.
  • Apprentice OJT/RTI hours do not need to be approved in order for wage progressions to be triggered and approved.

Step 1: Navigate to APPRENTICES > WAGES on the Navigation Bar

  • Any apprentice due for a wage increase based on your pre-set wage schedule will appear.  [To confirm that a wage schedule is set, Click Occupations on the blue navigation bar and then the occupation.  Review the Wage Schedule on the General tab.]
  • The blue text bubble on the right can be used to add any comments relevant to this wage increase.

 

Step 2: Select the Apprentice(s)

  • Select an apprentice for action by clicking the empty box to the left of their name. Or click the empty box above all the apprentices to select all apprentices on the list.
  • DENY & APPROVE buttons will appear in the top right corner

 

Step 3: Click DENY or APPROVE

  • Your sponsor or administrator usually will pre-set the proper wage increase amount, but will notify you if you need to alter it in the "new wage" box for apprentices before approving their increases. 
  • Note: When you click DENY or APPROVE, that action will occur for ALL apprentices who have a check mark in the box to the left of their name. Be sure before clicking as the action can not be reversed.
  • An apprentice will remain on the list until you choose to approve or deny the progression.  Once action is taken, the apprentice will disappear from the Wage Progression page.   

 

Step 4: Review Wage Progress History (optional)

  • To review an apprentices current wage and wage history, click APPRENTICES > OVERVIEW, click the apprentice name you want to review, and click WAGES on their Profile Details page.
