Instructions: Before completing this form, please read all instructions, including the Privacy Act statement below. Use this form to file a complaint about a violation of the apprenticeship agreement, the Registered Apprenticeship Program’s labor standards (29 CFR part 29), or a complaint of retaliation for exercising a right afforded by an apprenticeship agreement or 29 CFR Part 29 . This form should not be used for complaints alleging Equal Employment Opportunity violations or for complaints relating to a matter covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Complaints ordinarily must be filed within 300 calendar days after the conclusion of the events that gave rise to the dispute or the alleged violation, or, 300 calendar days after the complainant became aware of the alleged violation. However, this deadline may be extended in limited circumstances for good cause. This form constitutes notification that a formal complaint under 29 CFR part 29 is being filed with the Program Sponsor or Registration Agency.
Anonymous complaints: This form may be used to file an anonymous complaint. Anonymous complaints must be filed with the Registration Agency in the first instance (i.e., a complaint cannot be filed anonymously with a Registration Agency if the complaint was previously filed or raised with the Program Sponsor). Complaints alleging retaliation cannot be filed anonymously. Complainants who wish to file anonymously may omit their name, address, and signature below. Anonymous complainants may omit their contact information if the contact information for an authorized representative is provided.
