Hi Jim,
Unless they started in a contract year where the funding rules allowed a change of employer during a break in learning (pre 20-21 I believe). I don't believe they are able to take on the learner during a break in learning and it would need to be a withdrawal then a "restart" once they are ready to commence.
That's my understanding and general feeling around this query, hope it helps

Change in employer whilst on BIL
Created
HI
We have a learner who is on a break in learning but is changing employer, and the new employer wants to continue the break until the learner has passed probation (so a further 6 months down the line). Is this permissible, or will it need to be processed as a withdrawal and (potential) restart?
The change in employment dates will be under the 30 day limit but I can't see guidance around how this is affected by the break.
Gut feeling is that it's not allowed but want to find a justification for it rather than lose the learner.
Thanks
Jim
