Yes, and you must request dispatch from all approved programs in the geographic area of the project.
I requested an apprentice from an approved program and was asked to sign a document saying I would send the program my training fund contributions. Am I required to sign such a document?
No. You are not required to sign any additional documents, such as a firm agree to train (DAS 7), or agree to any other conditions set forth by the program. If the program does not want to dispatch apprentices unconditionally, and you have contacted all the appropriate programs in the geographic area then you have met your obligation under the law.
I paid my employees the CAC training fund contribution
I am a contractor and I paid my employees the training fund contribution instead of the applicable program. Am I still required to pay into a training fund?
Yes and you are not allowed to recover the erroneous amounts paid to the employee.
