    Is he going back to full time education?

    Then once he's back in education ,yes you have to pay, until his 20th birthday if he takes a two year course. Obviously ends if he gets an apprenticeship. Maybe time fir a little man to man discussion as how to avoid being dismissed? And help finding an apprenticeship?
