What happens the first time an apprentice submits a late time sheet?

When an apprentice submits a late time sheet for the first time, the appropriate outcome is that their hours will still count towards advancement, but they will be required to see the subcommittee. This process emphasizes the importance of maintaining accountability while still allowing for a learning moment. It acknowledges that mistakes can happen, particularly for apprentices who are still adjusting to new responsibilities and protocols. The involvement of the subcommittee serves as a corrective measure to guide the apprentice in understanding the importance of timely submissions without instituting harsh penalties for a first infraction. This approach fosters a supportive environment aimed at developing the apprentice’s skills and professionalism rather than discouraging them through punitive measures.
