CH. 21 SUMMER EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH

(a) Conditions of employment and training shall be appropriate and reasonable in light of such factors as the type of work, geographic location, and proficiency of the trainee.

(b) Health and safety standards established under Territorial and Federal Law, otherwise applicable to working conditions of employees, shall be equally applicable to working conditions of participants under this Chapter. With respect to any participant engaged in a program conducted under this Chapter who is engaged in activities which are not covered by health and safety standards under the Occupational and Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Guam Council on Youth Affairs shall prescribe, by regulation, such standards as may be necessary to protect the health and safety of such participants. No participants under eighteen (18) years of age shall be employed in any occupation which the Guam Council on Youth Affairs has found to be particularly hazardous for persons between fourteen (14) and eighteen (18) years of age.
(c) To the extent that the Territory’s Worker’s Compensation Law is applicable, worker’s compensation benefits in accordance with such law shall be applicable with respect to injuries suffered by participants.
(d) All individuals employed in subsidized jobs shall be provided benefits and working conditions at the same level, and to the same extent as other employees working a similar length of time and doing the same type of work.

(e) No funds under this Chapter shall be used for contributions on behalf of any participant to retirement systems or plans. Payroll deductions in wages on behalf of program participants in compliance with the Federal Insurance Compensation Act (FICA), however, shall be allowable.
(f) No currently employed worker shall be displaced by any participant (including partial displacement such as reduction in the hours of non- overtime work, wages, or employment benefits).
(g) No summer youth employment program shall impair existing contracts or collective bargaining agreements, except that no program under this Chapter which would be inconsistent with the terms of a collective bar- gaining agreement shall be undertaken without the written concurrence of the labor organization and employer concerned.
