Early Completion - sense check

So, if they complete early, you get a balancing payment when they complete, so, regardless of the stop (assuming it's no earlier than May!), you will get all the money it will just be a slightly different profile.

Thanks Steve, 

Could you break that down a bit more for me?

The stop date is May (01/05/2023). 

So we will get all the remaining funding in one bulk once we've submitted the achieved date in the ILR, despite the employer stopping the record? 

The DAS instruction to employers includes ‘Do not stop an apprenticeship that's completed’ this is the reason you have not been paid. The employer will need to create a new record for the learner on DAS so that payments can be made for the balance of funding and the completion.

Why do they do it?

HTH

We recently had a similar situation recently where an apprentice sat EPA in December and then immediately left the company, and the employer put a stop on the record in December. I was under the impression that we would need to get the employer to move the stop into January, but they never did this. When the outcome was recorded a couple of months later we still received the completion payment and the record status on DAS has changed from stopped to completed.
