Notes
1. The JIB skilled grades for Highway Lighting equate to the same level
as Shop Rates in the JIB National Working Rules and these operatives will
be responsible for maintenance, installation, testing and inspection.
2. The Highway Lighting Technician is in effect the Supervisory Grade.
3. HLO 4 is generally intended to be an entry grade. It is expected that
the majority of HLO 4s will progress to HLO 3 within a six to twelve month
period having satisfied the training requirements. There may be a number
of HLO 4 graded operatives who are employed specifically to carry out
restricted duties at HLO 4 on a permanent basis, but this will be a small
percentage of staff employed at this grade. Where this is the case, the
operative will be advised during the recruitment process and it will confirmed
at the point of engagement.
4. HLO Trainee is the basic entry grade and operatives will progress as
defined in note 3 above.
General
In addition to the JIB rates of pay it is intended that JIB terms and
conditions will apply to the JIB HLO grades e.g. Holidays, Welfare Benefits,
etc.
Where Companies have alternative terms and conditions which, taken as
a whole, are the same or better than the JIB established terms and conditions
they may be given dispensation to participate in the JIB HLO grades on
that basis. However, the minimum JIB rates of pay must be observed.
Any dispensation would be considered at the request of the Company, its
employees and the parties.
If necessary the workings of this Agreement can be reviewed after a period
of 2 years.
