The Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) have agreed on a below-inflation pay rise for site workers covered by the working rule agreement.
The deal follows months of talks between the CIJC, construction unions and contractors under the CIJC pay framework.
The one-year pay deal, will start from Monday 25th July 2022 and includes a 5% pay increase across all rates and a two-stage increase in non-taxable allowances.
