Add Comment Question: I work in auto repair and have 2 apprentices I am training. My employer is trying to make me pay for 50% of each of their wages since their labour contributes to my salary (flat-rate/commission-based). I am certain they also claim government grants for the payment and training of apprentices. Can they charge me for my apprentice's salaries? Answer: Thank you for your question.
