In relation to this payment, I'm not asking you to give tax advice; I'm asking you to explain how the payment works and how universities can possibly administer this payment, particularly in light of the fact that you're dealing with, in some cases, students who have just left school. This could be the first time that they receive any sort of payment, and so it puts students in a pretty invidious position if they don't know the taxation consequences. Will the payments be made each week of the placement or in a lump sum? How will they be paid?
