Journeyman Tryout Process

Cement Mason Journeyman Tryout Process

Journeyman Cement Mason tryout workers may be evaluated by an employer for a period of fifteen (15) working days to determine if the tryout worker meets the minimum skills of a Journeyman Cement Mason.

During that trial period, the tryout worker will be paid the applicable current journeyman rates. Benefit contributions will also be paid into the Cement Mason Trust Fund for the tryout worker.

If after the trial period, the supervisor determines that the tryout worker is at journeyman level, they will be referred to the Union to join as a journeyman before they return to work.

However, if the supervisor determines that the tryout worker should be rated as an apprentice, the contractor is required to continue to pay the tryout worker at journeyman level until the tryout worker has been accepted into the apprenticeship.

Furthermore, if the tryout is referred into the apprenticeship program, the tryout MUST provide documentation of not less than 2000 hours of OJT experience of which 1,500 were obtained within the immediately preceding 12 month period.
