WAC 296-05-429
Existing lists of eligibles and public
notice. (1) A sponsor who adopts a selection method under WAC 296-05-417 must conduct an enrollment deficiency analysis (see
WAC 296-05-433). If, as a result of this analysis, the
sponsor concludes that there are fewer minorities and/or women
on its existing pools and lists than there should be, these
pools and lists must be discarded.
(2) Once the existing pools and lists have been
discarded, new eligibility pools must be established and lists
must be posted at the sponsor's place of business. Sponsors
must allow at least a two-week period for accepting
applications for admission to the apprenticeship program. There must be at least thirty calendar days of public notice
in advance of the earliest date for application for admission
to the apprenticeship program (see WAC 296-05-411).
(3) Once an applicant has been placed in an eligibility
pool, they must be retained on the eligibility lists for two
years unless they request, in writing, that they be removed or
unless they fail to respond to an apprentice job opportunity
mailed to applicant's last known address by certified mail,
return receipt requested. It is the applicant's
responsibility to keep the sponsor informed of the applicant's
current mailing address. A sponsor, upon receiving a written
request from a former applicant whose name was removed from an
eligibility list, may restore the applicant's name to the
list.
(4) Applicants who have been accepted in the program must
be given a reasonable time in which to report for work. A
"reasonable time" will be interpreted in light of the customs
and practices of the industry for reporting for work. All
applicants must be treated equally in the determination and
application of "a reasonable time."
