10201.5
. With respect to funding appropriated in the annual Budget
Act to the Employment Development Department for allocation by the
Employment Training Panel and identified for training of workers in
regions suffering from high unemployment and low job creation or
regions identified in a proclamation of a state of emergency issued
by the Governor under the California Emergency Services Act (Chapter
7 (commencing with Section 8550) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the
Government Code), the panel, notwithstanding subdivision (f) of
Section 10201, may waive the minimum wage requirements included in
that subdivision provided that the post-retention wage of each
trainee who has completed training and the required training period
exceeds his or her wage before and during training. This
determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis to ensure that
post-training improvements in earnings are sufficient to warrant the
investment of public funds.
