The notice that Martin has linked to doesn't answer the question. I'm being asked by employers whether the employment start date has to be post 1st April or just apprenticeship start. We need the ESFA to provide more details urgently. At the moment I have employers that are reluctant to make March apprenticeship starts, even though the apprentices are ready for induction.
Hi All
Martin in your link where it says employers can apply in June for the incentive.
Does this mean they cant start the apprenticeship till June or just that they can't put the claim in until June but the new recruit can start the apprenticeship from April?
If that makes sense.

New DAS incentive payment clarification
Created
With the announcement from the government that the DAS incentives are to be extended until September 2021 and the payments increased to £3000 per learner, has anybody any clarification on the move from the old to the new incentive? For example if we have a client who employed a new staff member, aged 26, in October 2020 and they place them on an apprenticeship after the 01st April, will they be entitled to the £1500 or the £3000? Does the old incentive payment run side by side with the new incentive and the amount is determined by the start date of employment or is it a clean start from the 01st April? Thank you
