Sec. 785.32  Apprenticeship training.

    As an enforcement policy, time spent in an organized program of 
related, supplemental instruction by employees working under bona fide 
apprenticeship programs may be excluded from working time if the 
following criteria are met:

program which substantially meets the fundamental standards of the 
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training of the U.S. Department of Labor; 
and
    (b) Such time does not involve productive work or performance of the 
apprentice's regular duties. If the above criteria are met the time 
spent in such related supplemental training shall not be counted as 
hours worked unless the written agreement specifically provides that it 
is hours worked. The mere payment or agreement to pay for time spent in 
related instruction does not constitute an agreement that such time is 
hours worked.
