New employer apprentice incentive payments
Edited
None
We have an employer who is claiming the new incentive payment for taking on a new employee apprentice. Are there any compliance/evidence checks training providers have to undertake? All of the funding rules around this appear in the employer funding rules document but nothing in the provider funding rules document other than a reference to the employer document. This suggest to me the ESFA are going to undertake all the checks. Any ideas?
P124 From 1 August 2020, employers will be eligible to receive an incentive payment for hiring a new apprentice if, at the start of the apprenticeship, the apprentice is a new employee. For more information, please see the Apprenticeship funding rules and guidance for employers. All employers must use the apprenticeship service to both access funding for the apprentice’s training and claim the incentive payment.
