(c) The minimum wage rates, if any, specified for apprentices shall apply only to persons working with the tools of the trade that they are learning, and under the direct supervision required by law, the number of apprentices in each trade or occupation employed by the Contractor or any Subcontractor shall not exceed the number permitted under the usual practice prevailing between Trade Unions and Employers Association of the respective trades or occupations.

(d) Extra Work - Minimum Wage.

(e) Wage Underpayments and Adjustments. The Contractor agrees that, in case of underpayment of wages to any worker on the Project under this Contract, Bernalillo County may withhold out of payments due, an amount sufficient to pay such worker the difference between the wages required to be paid under his Contract and the wages actually paid such worker for the total number of hours worked and that Bernalillo County may disburse such amount so withheld by it, for and on account of the Contractor to the employee to which such amount is due. The Contractor further agrees that the amounts to be withheld pursuant to this paragraph may be in addition to the percentages to be retained by Bernalillo County pursuant to other provisions of this Contract.
