We are pleased to inform our members that, following APSCo’s conversations with the GCA and the feedback provided by members regarding the serious concerns raised over the GCA’s recent RM6376 guidance on pricing, employment costs and worker compliance, the GCA has now issued a clarification.
Recruitment companies have been advised to continue operating as previously, using assumed employment costs of up to 18.5%.
The GCA has also confirmed that where a supplier does not make Apprenticeship Levy contributions, the 0.5% Levy cost should not be passed on to the hirer.
We welcome this clarification, which provides reassurance following the concerns raised across the sector.
The GCA has also committed to developing ways to capture market feedback on future changes to the agreement.
