Labour agreements are used in the construction industry and other similar sectors. These are national agreements between trade unions and employers throughout the country, which set the conditions for certain categories of hourly wage workers. The workers concerned are generally those whose work is carried out at different sites and not on the employer`s premises. These agreements can help avoid labour disputes and simplify the process of negotiating terms between a very large number of different employers and workers. In addition, expenses such as travel and accommodation expenses paid to workers under an RSA are not considered income for tax purposes. The WRA offers a guide to acceptable conditions for employers and workers. The CIJC (CIJC) Working Rule Agreement is the largest agreement of its kind in the construction industry and has more than 500,000 workers. how certain employees in the construction and civil engineering sector can benefit from travel and accommodation allowances under work rules agreements, without deduction of taxes under PAYE. Labour agreements are being drawn up between employers` organisations and trade unions, which define the conditions of many workers in the construction and related sectors. The Working Rule Agreement is concluded between employers` representatives and trade unions in the construction sector and sets the agreed rates of pay on the different levels of training and crafts, as well as on the rights to leave and social benefits. It also covers other topics such as working time and health, safety and well-being. The new guide, drafted by the CIJC, is intended for employers who include the provisions of the Working Rule Agreement in the employment contracts of their employees. It answers many of the questions frequently asked by employers on the interpretation of different clauses and good practices.
