Can new employees be paid as trainees while they're learning on-the-job or during their probation period?
They can only be paid as a trainee if they are doing a registered traineeship that is recognised in the state or territory where they are working. They cannot be paid as a trainee just because they are new, learning on the job or on probation.(假如他们在所在的洲被认定以学徒身份工作,那他们只能拿到学徒工资。假如是雇员,那就不能以他们是新的或正在学习培训或试用期就支付他们学徒工资)
