CIJC Pay Agreement 2021

The Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) has completed negotiations with trade unions GMB and Unite the Union and reached agreement on a 2.5% increase in all pay rates, which will take effect from Monday 28 June 2021. Non‐taxable elements of pay, such as travel and subsistence allowances, will also increase, and the guidance on bereavement leave has been updated encouraging employers to now grant up to five days paid leave. The new pay rates and allowances should be read in conjunction with the CIJC Working Rule Agreement and Holiday Entitlement 2021.
