Employer Stop in Error

Created

None

Hi, we have an employer who has applied a stop in error for an apprentice who has achieved.  I am aware this will stop us receiving the completion payment, but could this have an affect on acheivement rates?

Thanks

Nope. You can, in theory, not earn a penny for an apprentice and they will still count in your QAR, it doesn't use AS data at all.

I have an employer who stop a Digital Account by mistake for a learner who has completed.  This stops us from claiming the learner's certificate and I assume we might not get completion fee too.  Is there a way to correct this error?  Thank you

Hi, you can still claim the certificate, but you won't receive the completion payment due to the stop.  The following is from the Apprenticship Service Support page:

Data lock 10

The employer stopped payments for this apprentice.

You should only stop an apprenticeship when the apprentice has completely withdrawn from their apprenticeship. If you have a data lock 10 after an apprentice has withdrawn, check that the training provider has updated the completion status on the ILR.

If the employer stopped the apprenticeship by accident:

Levy employers - you will need to start a new apprenticeship record and backdate the stopped record to its start date.

Non-levy employers - you will need to create a new reservation, from the current month.

Hope this helps :)
