CIJC Pay Promulgation – Effective 1 April 2026

The Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) has issued a revised Pay Promulgation, effective from 1 April 2026.

This is an employer-only promulgation, reflecting the updated National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage rates that come into force from April. 

The only pay rate changes relate to: 

  • General Operatives, and 
  • Year 1 Apprentices. 

The updated minimum wage figures have also been amended within the accompanying narrative. Members aligning with the CIJC agreement should review the full document for details of the revised rates and related provisions ahead of the change deadline.
