NJC Guide to NAECI Payments

For some time the NJC has recognised the need to assist contractors’ payroll and finance staff in the Engineering Construction Industry.   An NJC Guide has now been issued to help ensure that the correct payments are made to employees working under the NAECI.

A wide selection of queries encountered by payroll providers, NJC and ECIA staff, together with the answers given have been analysed by a small working party comprised of representatives of the signatory employers, trades unions and informed payroll practitioners.

It was decided that we would provide and maintain a database of payroll related questions and answers on the NJC website.  The database will provide a comprehensive reference point which will assist not just the providers but employees in the industry as a whole. 

To make it easier to use, the document contains a Table of Contents of the NAECI sections referred to.  There is also a Subject Index at the end of the document.

The database does not provide for simple questions that require only reference to the NAECI.  An example of this is “What is the basic rate/day work of a Grade 1 Adult on Categorised Work?”

The ECIA intends to offer seminars to its members who may benefit from an introduction to the questions and answers document, the NJC and the NAECI.  This will assist those who are new to NAECI payroll practices or returning to them and who need to update their knowledge of the NAECI rules relevant to payroll practices.
