We are getting the same error message. I raised a ticket with ESFA but have not heard anything. Apparently it was a problem for some providers last month and turned out to be an issue on ESFA end. Hopefully they can resolve it soon.

Hi All, Has anybody got the same problem this month for R11? Almost all of our learners are returning Empld_01 errors but no problems in the past! Have raised with ESFA but their response is up to three working days. Thanks

Hi Rachel, We require a new apprenticeship agreement whenever EPA changes (i.e. apprenticeship extends) so for us this includes apprentices who go past their planned end dates. We use a new apprenticeship end date based on when we think the apprentice will sit EPA. If they happen to delay or defer again, we create another version of the app agreement so this is in place for the actual duration. We have some apprentices on version 3 of their agreements at the moment. HTH

Hi Henry, We are receiving this warning for apprentices where a learning actual end date does not exist yet i.e. they are continuing on-programme. Are you aware of this being an issue please? Thanks, Jessica

Ruth Canham-James Andrew Dickens I contacted the helpdesk to explain how unfair our scenario was i.e. how can we record payment before the 31st July if we didn't know the co-investment existed until September. Here is the response: Without the co-investment being collected and recorded, the system will not release the completion element. I realise this must be frustrating, however co-investment can be triggered at any time, including at R13. We have no control over it, the system will pick it up and include it on your funding reports. R13 and R14 gives providers the opportunity to action points like this to ensure their data is accurate before hard close. I think in this instance we'll have to accept the loss and review our PED to see if we can avoid balancing payments and levy co-investment due near funding year end.

Andrew Dickens Interesting as we weren't told about co-investment by ESFA until after the achievement date so that makes it almost impossible! Are they suggesting we record PMR payment in the same funding year but record internally (evidence pack) the true payment date if after July 31st? My instinct is surely not but I'm not sure how else to interpret this.

Hi Ruth We're in a similar position but our apprentice completed learning early so ESFA withheld 2 on-programme months until we were able to record achievement that occurred last week of July. These were finally highlighted as requiring co-investment on our R13 reports so we have issued an invoice to the employer but given the timing it's not going to show as collected in 21/22. I have now been told that means we won't receive the completion payment at all but I'm not sure how we are supposed to anticipate co-investment for levy payers....!!
