100% cannot do this! the funding rules are really clear that an apprentice should not be contributing to the cost of their programme.
P216 The apprentice must not be asked to contribute financially to the eligible costs of training, on-programme or end-point assessment.
P216.1 This includes both where the individual has completed the programme successfully or has left the programme early.
P216.2 Costs include any co-investment or additional training and assessment costs above the funding band, that the employer has paid directly to the main provider where this is part of the agreed apprenticeship
So they need to remove this from their contracts.

We have an employer who has a clause about deductions from pay in their staff contracts of employment, which includes the employee having to repay costs should they leave employment before their apprenticeship training agreement expires. I want to double check that they absolutely cannot do this?
