Change of employer and new costs

See the guidance here: Stop dates to use following a change of employer where the gap in employment is 30 days or less – Apprenticeship Service Support (education.gov.uk)

This is contrary to the written guidance. The original employer is always advised to use a stop date of the month following the one they are responsible for because otherwise the new employer becomes liable, or you get a DLOCK. This is even more imperative when the end date for the original employer is the last day of the month (even if this isn't technically the case in your scenario)

Stop dates to use following a change of employer where the gap in employment is 30 days or less – Apprenticeship Service Support (education.gov.uk)

Thank you, this is helpful but I am still a bit confused!

The guidance says:

The original employer must stop payments through their apprenticeship service account, using a stop date that corresponds with the date the apprentice changed employer.

So if an apprentice leaves their old employer on 15th July and start with a new one on 16th July, then the old employer is only responsible for the costs up until June and the new one picks up the full July cost, stop and start dates are both in July. 

I am not sure how we are going to manage it with the employer - we will have to calculate the residual costs based on the apprentice being there for the full month. 

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

As the apprenticeship service defaults to the first day of the month

The original employer should add the stop date for July in their apprenticeship service account.

The new employer will record the start date as July in their apprenticeship service account.

As payments from DAS are monthly you can only calculate the residual cost based on full months.
