Gap between employment

Created

None

I just wanted to check regarding the rule of having a 30 day or less gap between employment for an apprentice moving employers. If the gap is 30 days and the apprentice starts the employment on the 31st day, is that still within that time frame or do they have to start the new employment by the 30th day?

225.1. When employment or an apprenticeship agreement has ended (resignation, dismissal or any other action by the apprentice or the employer that results in the apprenticeship agreement ending, with the exception of redundancy) and new employment has commenced within 30 days we do not expect a withdrawal to be recorded. Where new employment has not commenced within 30 days, the provider must, after 30 days, record the apprentice as on a break in learning (see paragraph 228.3). Where the apprentice does not re-start with a new employer after 12 weeks, the main provider must withdraw the apprentice to ensure funds are not paid when the apprentice is not employed.
