JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Jib rates sounds too good to be true

[assegayer]

So i was just looking at the jib rates, and i saw this

london rate for third stage apprentice with own transport is at

£10.93

So If you work a 45 hour week the money you would get is £491.85!!! weekly!! thats £23,000 a year

then in your final year its

£11.53

45 hour week = £518

yearly = £24,904


surely this is not right and there is some catch...

you might not get 9 hours per day, but it sounds about right to me, anyway you still will never own a property in London on JIB rates

Think the first rate would be £25k/year?

I think the catch is you haven't mentioned tax/national insurance?

You have to get on a jib registered firm 1st which are few and far between now.

Doesn't sound far fetched too me. It's a skilled trade and most apprentices are worth it in their 3rd and 4th year.

I'm a third stage apprentice and I get paid more than the SJIB minimum. We are not SJIB registered. Depends on your company and what your boss thinks you're worth I suppose!

If you were with a JIB firm then you would actually get more as you get overtime rates after 37.5 hours.

[myristate]

I cant genuinely tell if people think these rates are good. In my opinion they are horrific! I wouldnt get out of bed for that! £25k wont get you far at all and thats before tax.
