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...

lol mate this isnt for a FULLY QUALIFIED electrician its for an APPRENTICE electrician still training.

ive just qualified and im on less, if the boss doesn't increase it im going to leave, im on less than an adult third stage apprentice (day rate as well)

Get a print out of this years JIB rates and take them into work for a starting point of negotiations. Do not accept a penny less and be prepared to walk. Start off conversation friendly by asking "Are you happy with me and my standard of work and work rate"...go on from there. Assuming you are anywhere decent at your job then that line gives you a good starting point. But as I said do not be too scared to walk and get a job in the big wide world out there, I have left jobs for slightly less cash before now on a point of principal.....if you are worth the cash you should demand it.
