Hi Jan,
From 6 April 2016, you no longer have to pay employer's NI contributions for apprentices under the age of 25, on earnings up to a new Apprentice Upper Secondary Threshold (AUST). To accommodate this, you should use the new NI category, H, for apprentices under the age of 25.
If you have any employees aged under 25 who you employ as an apprentice, to ensure their NI calculates correctly, you must change their NI category in your software before you begin processing in the new tax year.
The 'Apprentice' box on the New Employee wizard flags the employee as an apprentice.
Full info on changes to NI categories for apprentices and contracted out employees from 6 April 2016 here.
Regards,
Paul
