Employers with a payroll of over £3 million are referred to as Levy Payers as they contribute to the Apprenticeship Levy to fund their apprenticeships and are also able to transfer some of their Levy funds to other Employers to support with Apprenticeships.
Employers not paying the Levy (those with a payroll under £3 million) are known as non-levy payers and Apprenticeships are funded on a co-investment basis, whereby the government funds 95% of the cost of each apprenticeship programme and the employer pays the remaining 5%.
There is a £1,000 incentive, paid in two equal instalments, for recruiting an apprentice aged 16-18 or 19-24 with an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) provided by their local authority or if they have been in the care of their local authority.
It is a government requirement that all employers pay their apprentices through PAYE and set up a Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) account which links with this to access funding for apprentices, regardless of whether you are a levy or non-levy payer.
Through your account you will be able to manage a range of services. This includes finding training providers that deliver your chosen apprenticeship programme, reserving funding for the provider to deliver your chosen apprenticeship, advertising vacancies on 'Find an Apprenticeship' and managing your apprentices.
The Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) account enables levy paying employers allocate and agree funds from their apprenticeship levy account to cover the cost of the apprenticeship training, they can also pledge funds to other employers.
For more information on the Government Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) follow this link - How to register and use the apprenticeship service as an employer.
You will first need to create an account, then add your accounts reference and PAYE scheme on behalf of your organisation and lastly accept the employer legal agreement with Department for Education.

The York College Apprenticeships Team can offer some support with setting up your account.
