Offer and acceptance of employment.
22.
(1) It shall not be obligatory on the part of the employer to offer any employment to
any apprentice who has completed the period of his apprenticeship training in his
establishment, nor shall it be obligatory on the part of the apprentice to accept an
employment under the employer.
(2) Notwithstanding
anything in sub-section (1), where there is a condition in a contract
of apprenticeship that the apprentice shall, after the successful completion of the
apprenticeship training, serve the employer, the employer shall, on such completion, be
bound to offer suitable employment to the apprentice, and the apprentice shall be bound
to serve the employer in that capacity for such period and on such remuneration as may
be specified in the contract:
Provided
that where such period or remuneration is not, in the opinion of the
Apprenticeship Adviser, reasonable, he may revise such period or remuneration so as to
make it reasonable, and the period or remuneration so revised shall be deemed to be the
period or remuneration agreed to between the apprentice and the employer.
