JIB Wage Rates & Staff Salaries

ECA has completed a groundbreaking agreement for a four year JIB wage settlement. The settlement is all the more welcome as it provides certainty at a time of considerable uncertainty in the wider economy.

Details of the changes effective under the JIB agreement which came into effect from 2nd January 2017 are available to view here.

The main changes introduced in the four year settlement are increases in wages; changes to the calculation of travel payments; and increases in holiday entitlement.

Additionally, by logging in you can find out updated information on Statutory Family Friendly Payments and Statutory Sick Pay.
