The one year will come into effect from Monday 17 June 2024 and workers employed by small builders will also get an extra day of holiday.
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB, said: “This year’s agreement represents a fair rise in the wage rates for the nation’s small builders, following another year of inflated prices. We believe this has struck the right balance between employers and staff, who are both seeing their costs rise. BATJIC, in agreement with Unite, also agreed to provide builders with one extra holiday day.
“While the BATJIC agreement is completely voluntary, we know many FMB members choose to use it for guidance on their wage rates and other employment rights.
“The agreement helps builders attract new staff and maintain their current workforce by guiding employers to offer competitive wages and a range of other employment benefits.”
The deal in detail:
- BATJIC has agreed a one-year deal involving a 4% pay rise over the next year;
- The adult general operative rate increases to £12.05 per hour;
- The NVQ3 advanced craft rate increases to £15.70 per hour;
- The changes will come into effect as of Monday 17 June 2024
- BATJIC holiday entitlement is 23 days holiday plus all bank holidays
