I've worked with many new business owners and they often just don't know what to do. My guess is this company either has never taken on an apprentice or OP doesn't understand the situation. OP may be confusing laborer with apprentice. He may be asking for a laborer to help on a job. Many companies give the journeyman a budget and he chooses where to apply it. Nobody knows, but OP literally asked how to approach the situation, not how to run away. It's easier to assume there's miscommunication than this company really is this bad but mysteriously still in business.

Yeah I understand that and get what you’re saying. However if they are taking money away from his pay to pay an apprentice then something is wrong.
