The learner must be withdrawn if the gap exceeds 30 days.
It will have an impact on the QAR as the withdrawal is counted as not achieved and not matched or excluded from the QAR as the original start date is not returned for restarts after a withdrawal, the restart is also included in the QAR so the QAR will have two records, the best outcome if the restart is achieved is that the records cancel each other out, but a fail on the restart includes both in the QAR as not achieved for the same learner and this may be in the same or different hybrid end years .
You should use a withdrawal code as appropriate or default to 98.

FR: Where there is a break in employment of more than 30 days
Created
Hi All,
I am looking on thoughts and insights in the funding rule: Where there is a break in employment of more than 30 days (Apprenticeship's, P339 - 340.2).
This ruling is causing a few headaches at the moment, as we have learners who are leaving employment but don't find a new position within 30days or the discussion with the new employer exceeds 30 days. My understanding is that this rule is in relation to the last day of employment with the old employer (the termination date of the apprenticeship agreement) to the first date of employment with the new employer (start date of the new apprenticeship agreement been the first day in T&L with the new employer). So where the learner/employer discussions exceeds this time frame, we are to withdraw from the ILR and Restart later.
First of all I am checking my understanding around the rule? also I am looking understanding the impact it may have on QAR date with the withdrawals? plus seeing if there is a withdrawal code we should be using?
Many Thanks! Sarah
