📋 Important: Recent Legal Changes (2025–2026)

Minimum wage increase (1 April 2026): The apprentice rate rises from £7.55 to £8.00/hour. Ages 18–20 rise to £10.85; ages 21+ rise to £12.71. Ensure any wage entered reflects the rate applicable at the start date of the apprenticeship.

Minimum duration: From 1 August 2025, the statutory minimum apprenticeship duration reduced from 12 months to 8 months. Most apprenticeships still run 12–48 months depending on level and standard.

Off-the-job training: The previous flat 20% rule has been replaced by a standard-specific minimum hours requirement (floor: 187 hours). Clause 6.1 reflects both approaches. Check the specific hours for the relevant apprenticeship standard at Skills England.

Unfair dismissal (Employment Rights Act 2025): From 1 January 2027, employees will gain protection from unfair dismissal after 6 months' service (reduced from 2 years). If you are setting a probation period, consider keeping it under 6 months so any performance decisions are made before that protection applies. Compensation awards will also be uncapped from that date.

Statutory Sick Pay: The SSP rate is reviewed by HMRC each April. Always check gov.uk/statutory-sick-pay for the current rate before signing.
