Apprenticeship Pay: 2007 Survey of Earnings by Sector
In January 2008, we published the report "World-class Apprenticeships: Unlocking Talent, Building Skills for All", setting out plans to expand the number and range of Apprenticeships. Our aim is to make the findings of "Apprenticeship Pay: 2007 Survey of Earnings by Sector" available as part of the careers information and guidance for young people making career choices.
"World-class Apprenticeships" proposals for developing Apprenticeships in future confirm that the Government will be asking the Low Pay Commission to look at the whole issue of Apprenticeship pay in the future. We are asking the LSC to take urgent action to remind employers and providers of their contractual responsibility and to check compliance. We will also ask the new National Apprenticeships Service to work with employers and the TUC to publicise the national helpline for apprentices who believe they are being paid less than the minimum Apprenticeship wage, and also look at how the current minimum could be more effectively enforced.
