The Apprenticeship Levy came into effect from April 2017. As an employer you will have to pay this levy if you have an annual pay bill in excess of £3 million, or are connected with other organisations which in total have a pay bill in excess of £3 million. As a consequence, there are many questions that employers are asking themselves: How is the levy calculated and how do I know if two organisations are connected? We don’t currently employ apprentices so how can I make use of the levy we are paying? What are our legal obligations with respect to taking on an apprentice? Along with Easton&Otley College, we would be delighted if you could join us as we bring together an expert group of speakers from Lovewell Blake and Easton+Otley College, along with a round table Q&A discussion led by Norfolk County Council, to help to explain the various issues around this subject, from a variety of perspectives. Timings: 5.30 pm Registration 5.45 pm Presentations 6.45 pm Round table Q&A discussion followed by a buffet supper Book your place here
