Agreement between SELECT and the National Joint Council for the Engineering Construction Industry Sample Clauses

Agreement between SELECT and the National Joint Council for the Engineering Construction Industry. It is agreed that SELECT, in recognition of the value to contractors and clients on Major Projects of working to a common agreement, shall become a Signatory to the NAECI with effect from 1 January 1990. Subject only to the qualifications below SELECT fully supports the use of the NAECI on Category 1 Major New Construction Projects in Scotland. On all other Categories, electrical contractors in Scotland will continue to operate under the SJIB Working Rules. These have provided stability for many years in the electrical contracting sector, and SELECT will continue to promote their use. However when, after due consideration and consultation with its contractors, the client of all other Categories decides that the NAECI should apply to the electrical contracting work, then SELECT and its members will comply. When electrical contracting work is undertaken under the NAECI, electrical contractors will continue to operate the SJIB Holiday and Welfare Credit Scheme and where appropriate a top-up arrangement will apply to electrical workers in respect of holiday pay and welfare benefits to ensure parity with comparable benefits under the NAECI. In respect of annual holidays parity with the NAECI will be achieved by the accrual of some additional days of holiday to electrical workers depending on the length of time on site. Under this Agreement electrical contractors will allow in their tender price for contracts adequate levy rates, to be determined by SELECT, which will be used to meet SELECT's agreed commitments to the funding of the NJC. These rates of levy will be reviewed from time to time. SELECT will be allocated one seat on the NJC which may be occupied by the principal nominated representative or the nominated alternate representative in the absence of the principal.
