OTJ Hours

Created

None

From 01/08/2022 when using the new formula to calculate OTJ hours, do we still have to deduct the annual leave from the weeks on programme?

Yes.

P40.3 When calculating the required amount of off-the-job training, the apprentice’s statutory leave entitlement must be deducted. 
P40.3.1 You must pro-rata statutory leave for part time workers when you calculate off-the-job training.
P40.3.2 Full-time apprentices receive at least 28 days paid annual holiday (this is the statutory leave entitlement and is the equivalent of 5.6 weeks of holiday).
P40.3.3 Therefore off-the-job training is delivered over 46.4 weeks and provides, as a minimum, 278 hours of off-the-job training per calendar year (46.4 weeks x 6 hours = 278 hours).
