12 weeks of funding for redundant apprentice

Created

None

Hi, We have had an apprentice made redundant as their company has gone into administration. They want to continue and fall into P275. Until a new employer is sourced how do we record so that we can receive the ESFA funding for up to 12 weeks ?

Thankyou

Cheryl

Apprentice is made redundant (redundancy)

A new employment status, Other Employment Type (OET) has been added to record employment types such as redundancy.

If an apprentice is made redundant, you must record this in a new Learner Employment Status record with Employment status code 11 or 12, as applicable. While the apprentice is eligible to continue their programme, an Apprenticeship contract FAM type of ACT1 or ACT2 corresponding to the most recent employment period must remain in place without an end date in order to receive payment. If a new employer is found for the apprentice, then a new apprenticeship contract FAM type and a new negotiated price record must be recorded for the start of the period of learning with the new employer.
For full guidance regarding funding eligibility for redundant apprentices, please see the apprenticeship funding rules: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apprenticeship-funding-rules
