Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) Work Skills Traineeships - exemption to undertake an employer resource assessment
There is no requirement for a supervising registered training organisation (SRTO) to undertake an employer resource assessment for trainees undertaking a SQW Work Skills Traineeship.
As there is no requirement to undertake an ERA, in addition to Work Skills Traineeships being entry-level qualifications to provide trainees with an introduction to the specified industry, its culture, occupations, job roles and expectations, the workplace supervisor is not required to meet the definition of a 'qualified person' as per the Declaration of Apprenticeships and Traineeships in Queensland policy.

Industrial relations details
Since 1 January 2010, all private sector employers and employees in Queensland, including apprentices and trainees,
have their wages and conditions of employment covered by the Fair Work Act 2009 and modern awards. This legislation
is administered by the Commonwealth Government Fair Work Ombudsman's office.
https://www.fairwork.gov.au/pay/minimum-wages/apprentice-and-trainee-pay-rates.
Apprentices and trainees are considered employees and may receive entitlements the same as other employees such as:
annual leave, sick leave, public holidays, superannuation, workers compensation and allowances. Apprentices and trainees
must also receive a pay slip to cover full details of the pay for each pay period. Pay slips have to be given to an
employee (including apprentices and trainees) within 1 working day of pay day and be either in electronic form or paper hard copy.
Parties should make enquiries with the Fair Work Ombudsman on Ph: 13 13 94 or at
http://www.fairwork.gov.au
to determine the correct industrial instrument and entitlements.
When employment is ceasing the employer or the employee (apprentice/trainee) must provide the appropriate notice periods
as per the relevant award or registered workplace agreement. A notice period is the length of time that an employer or
employee (apprentice/trainee) has to give to end employment. Additional information about notice periods can be found
at: http://www.fairwork.gov.au/ending-employment/notice-and-final-pay.
Unfair dismissal is when an employee (apprentice/trainee) is dismissed from their job in a harsh, unjust or unreasonable
manner. Additional information about unfair dismissal can be found at:
http://www.fairwork.gov.au/ending-employment/unfair-dismissal.
Public sector and local government workers in Queensland remain under the state industrial relations system. Additional
information about wages and conditions of employment for employees (apprentices/trainees employed by state or local government)
can be found at: https://www.forgov.qld.gov.au/working-in-the-public-service/directives-awards-and-legislation/pay-awards-and-agreements.
