Non Levy Hiring Grant (from Oct)

If an apprentice is taken on in July but their apprenticeship sign up is not until October, can they pay apprenticeship wage in July or do they have to pay NMW until October sign up for apprenticeship and then pay the apprenticeship wage? Funding rules would seem to indicate not, but the 90 days rule regarding the Hiring Grant is confusing some employers and we would like to be able to clarify this for them.

You can only pay the apprenticeship minimum wage when the are an apprentice. They are not an apprentice until the October start date.
