If I can’t work/attend training, will I still be paid?
section_content: An apprenticeship is a job with training, so even when you are not able to do
your training, you are still employed, unless you have been notified otherwise
by your employer. You will be paid in line with the details in your employment
contract.
Where you are unable to work, we suggest speaking to your employer about their
polices on pay. The government is providing a range of support to employers to
help them retain and pay the wages of employees (including apprentices) during
the coming months.

What happens to the apprentice during a period of unpaid leave in terms of monies, do they have access to universal credit?
section_content: Through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, all UK employers will be able to
access support to continue paying part of their employees’ salary for those
employees that would otherwise have been laid off during this crisis. HMRC
will reimburse 80% of furloughed workers wage costs, up to a cap of £2,500 per
month.
Alternatively, Universal Credit may be available for both workers and the
unemployed alike, as long as they meet the other conditions of entitlement
(including that the applicant and their partner have savings of under £16,000
between them). Apprentices may be entitled to access Universal Credit during a
period of unpaid leave. They may also have access to Universal Credit even if
they were working and being paid. Being laid off or on fewer hours could
increase the rate of Universal Credit entitlement.
Apprentices on unpaid leave may also be eligible for other
benefits.

Can an existing member of staff start an apprenticeship whilst they are furloughed?
section_content: Yes, a furloughed member of staff can start an apprenticeship, but they must
still meet the learner eligibility and programme eligibility criteria of the
apprenticeship funding rules. For example, the apprenticeship must be a real
job, the candidate must require a programme that has a minimum training
duration of 12 months, with a minimum of 20% off the job training over this
duration to become occupationally competent. With regards to learner
eligibility the provider should consider how they would assure the ESFA of the
identity and eligibility of the individual and how they would carry out the
initial assessment.
