Employer Incentives and The Levy

An incentive provides employers with the chance to reward their employees for their work, whilst also stimulating motivation and productivity in the workplace. Would you like to be a part of it?

Employer Incentives

Employers who hire a new Apprentice aged 16-18 could be entitled to a £1,000* government incentive payment.

To be eligible, the Apprentice must:

Be a new employee to the business
Have a contract of employment
Not have been employed by the employer, within the 6 months prior to the contract start date

*This is subject to availability.

There are no limits on the number of incentive payments that an employer can claim for. We have a talent bank of applicants ready and waiting. We can support you through our dedicated Apprentice Recruitment Service.

The Latest Government Employer Incentives

What is The Levy?

The Levy applies to all employers in the UK, across all industries, including public sector bodies.

The Levy is a tax of 0.5% of the employers' total wage bill and it will be paid through PAYE. Each employer will receive an allowance of £15,000 to offset against their levy payments.

The levy is only paid by employers where the wage bill is in excess of £3million, which only equates to 2% of UK employers.

If you require more information, please visit the Department for Education website.
