What is Apprenticeship Levy?
A UK payroll tax of 0.5% charged on employers with an annual pay bill exceeding £3 million, collected through PAYE and deposited into a Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) account to fund approved apprenticeship training and End-Point Assessment.
Why it matters in hiring
Apprenticeship Levy comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
