Hi - If apprentices start in September, and they have still not been approved (on DAS) by the employer in December, does their start date have to be changed to December, for both levy and non-levy employers?  This is a little outside my remit so I'm not sure how to proceed.  Thanks

Levy paying employers should be able to add them with any date as they don't need to reserve funds.

Non-levy is an issue as you have described. The only way at this point to add them without changing the start date is to use a levy transfer, as long as the levy transfer sending employer is happy with back dating.

Recommend you don't put them in your ILR if possible until DAS issues resolved as we aren't meant to have apprentices who are coded as funded, for whom we are actually not receiving funding.
