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...

 

[derek]

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.

 

[KWCFC]

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.

We aren't in the JIB but we get same rates. Our Gross is £31500 basic.

[Farmelectrics]

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.
