Advantages of Joining JIB
For an employer, joining JIB has some distinct advantages which include:
• Access to wage rates and employment conditions that are negotiated on a national basis; there is no need for wage reviews by the employer. Companies who wish to bid on work using the tender system know how much their labor costs will be.
• Access to advice from JIB staff on employee-relations issues, including strategies for avoiding grievances and resolving disputes.
• Access to an employee benefits program funded by the mandatory purchase of a credit on a weekly basis. These funds are used to pay for employee vacation pay, sick benefits, death benefits, and disability benefits.
How to Join JIB
Electrical contractors, as well as cabling and joining contractors, are eligible to join JIB. To join as an electrical contractor, the company must employ a minimum of two people (one of them can be the owner) and have been in business for a minimum of 12 months. The company must be operating in one of the following locations to be eligible:
• England
• Northern Ireland
• Wales
• Isle of Man
• the Channel Islands
To join JIB as a cabling and jointing contractor and be included on JIB's list of members, a firm will be put on probation for a period of 12 months. During this time, the firm will be required to comply with terms set out by JIB's Cabling and Jointing Committee. If you would like to learn more, please contact JIB directly to get more information about the requirements for this type of membership.
Cost of a JIB Membership
All companies interested in joining JIB pay a standard fee for membership in JIB. In addition, a fee is charged on an annual basis that is based on the labor force.
