The BCCEI  (0.46 MB)

After a challenging negotiation battle last year between Employers (represented by SAFCEC) and Unions (represented by BCAWU and NUM) in the Civil Engineering Industry, various agreements are now finalised and will be taken to the Minister of Labour on Tuesday, 18 February 2014, to be promulgated. 

These agreements include:
• Wage and Task Grade Agreement
• CIRBF Agreement (Construction Industry Retirement Benefit Fund)
• Registration and Administration Expenses Agreement
• Conditions of Employment Agreement

The Bargaining Council of the Civil Engineering Industry has revolutionised the stock standard main industry agreement and pulled it apart into various separate agreements.  By doing this, it narrows down disputes to a specific agreement.  The BCCEI’s second AGM is set to take place in March 2014.  The establishment of the BCCEI provide all parties with an opportunity to proactively address some of the industry challenges in a positive manner.  The BCCEI will provide an institutionalised platform for bargaining of collective agreements suited to the industry.

As from 1 March 2014 all industry disputes will be referred to the BCCEI but hearings will continue to take place at the CCMA. The CCMA will provide assistance with the establishment of a dispute settlement department for the Civil Engineering Industry. All employers within the Civil Engineering Industry are urged to register with the BCCEI and commence discussion regarding administration and dispute levy deductions with their employees. The date from which deductions will have to be made will be communicated to the industry shortly.

The same will apply to employers and employees who are currently not contributing to a retirement fund. CIDB1-3 graded employers (small businesses) are excluded from BCCEI registration.
