Indiana Code - Labor and Safety - Title 22, Section 22-4.1-8-9

Modification of agreements

Sec. 9. (a) If a participant's desired career pathway requires
postsecondary education, an agreement required under section 8 of
this chapter may be modified to include the following:
(1) The employer's agreement to provide paid employment for
the participant at a base wage that may not be less than the
minimum wage prescribed by the federal Fair Labor Standards
Act during the participant's postsecondary education.
(2) An agreement that, in addition to the base wage paid to the
participant, the employer shall pay an additional sum to be held
in trust to be applied toward the participant's postsecondary
education.
(3) The participant's agreement to work for the employer for at
least two (2) years following the completion of the participant's
postsecondary education.
(b) The additional amount described in subsection (a)(2) must not
be less than an amount determined by the department to be sufficient
to provide payment of tuition expenses toward completion of not
more than two (2) academic years at an institution of higher learning.

The amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the participant
under rules adopted by the department. Payment into a fund
approved under the federal Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 for the benefit of the participant satisfies this
requirement. The approved fund must be specified in the agreement.
As added by P.L.96-2004, SEC.25.
