Hi I just seen an add on a job website, an agency, advertising for a Carpenter for temporary on-going work with a multi-national, but with a rate of only €10 per hour. Surely with all the hassle that the electrician's union's went through and strikes last year, is this not illeagal, i.e. illeagal to advertise or pay an amout lower than the official, agreed, pay rate.
cheers donee.
I DONT UNDERSTAND what you mean, the job being advertised is for a carpenter to do I assume CARPENTRY work on an on-going temporary basis, my question is, is it legal to employ someone at below the union rate?.Are carpenters covered under a registered pay agreement if they are not employed in the construction industry?
What you mean by registered pay agreement? Maybe Registered Employment Agreement (REA)?Are carpenters covered under a registered pay agreement if they are not employed in the construction industry?

And from this link..

The current rate appears to be 17.21 per hour, or 688 euros for a 40 hour week. I would go out of business by choice before paying those rates.
edited to add:
Just to put that into context, I currently have one individual who is prepared to work for free in order to gain experience. Fair play to him, he has motivation and ambition, and is taking the necessary steps to get ahead of his competators.
