If an apprentice joins your company, you need to set up a new employee record. Your software then includes the details HMRC require on the next full payment submission (FPS).
Before you enter your apprentice's details, check if they've had another job in the current tax year. Where they have, ask them for a copy of their P45. If they don't have a P45 or they haven't worked in the current tax year, ask them to complete a starter checklist.
If you're using the Pensions Module, leave the pension scheme details blank when you set up the new apprentice's record. This way, when you process your pay run and run the assessment, the pension module automatically enrols them if they're eligible.
TIP: These dates must be the dates they started the apprenticeship, and the date they officially finished the apprenticeship, not their date of employment.If you need to increase your employee licence and want to know more, leave your details and we'll get in touch.
If you need to set the same Apprenticeship start date or end date to multiple employees, you can use global changes.
