Hi Martin, The schools in question use the Council for Payrole, which apparently is what is causing the problem with the schools being unable to set up their own Digital account. I sent this to the school: We have found information pertaining to your situation with PAYE and the Council. It looks like you can get your own PAYE number which will allow you to get the grant and pay your apprentice. Please follow this link for further information. https://help.apprenticeships.education.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360020542100-Pooled-PAYE Below is the response the school got from the council about this. We are aware of this, having previously appraised this as one of the options. I’m afraid it wasn’t considered an option from anyone’s perspective, least of all the school.  It was thought to incur administration costs, a new payroll scheme/reporting and potentially further termination costs from leaving the existing payroll contract.  You yourself have identified another reason why this can’t be an option.  I share your frustration and disappointment, I only wish there was a solution. I spoke to a council in the south who recommended (in good faith) this particular option to a school, it turned out that the individual’s personal tax and pension AVCE were negatively impacted, not sure how, but it is clear that there are some things not sufficiently thought through.  We have been thorough in our appraisal of the options provided and if there was an answer I would be personally singing them from the rooftop. We are still looking at ways of providing a local offer but as yet there is nothing available.  We will  be raising this with the DfE. As you can see it looks like there is a national problem and our schools are not the only ones with this problem. Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated. Sue

Hi Ruth, I haven't touched the payments costs. Do I need to add 2 lines -  training cost and assessment cost for the second employer? I will add a second line for the ACT   Sue

Does the above still apply if the new employer is a levy payer? Sue

Thanks Martin, I was hoping that was the case. If a learner left before completing (early Leaver) then came back but was employed by a different Employer, I could code them as a restart but would the new employer then need a digital account and the coding be ACT 1 employer? Sue

Hi Martin, Sorry but I am still not clear. Do I need to add another ACT even though it will remain the same type?

Hi Martin, Thank you this seems to have solved y error problem Just to check, having added and new Employment status line for the redundancy do need to close the original ACT and open a new one or just leave the original one there without an end date Sue
