Currently under review

What is BATJIC?
BATJIC (The Building and Allied Trades Joint Industrial Council) is an annually agreed voluntary wages and payment scheme negotiated between the FMB and UNITE the Union. Members may use the scheme in its entirety or as guidance and are not bound to follow it. We know many members choose to go beyond the agreed BATJIC rates.
Further information
Under working rule 4 it is stated that seven days shall be attached to the Christmas holiday period. Traditionally in Scotland though, the Christmas and New Year holiday period consists of four public holidays and six annual leave days giving a holiday of two calendar weeks.
The suggested close for the Christmas & New Year holiday will be Monday 22 December 2025 with a return to work on Monday 5 January 2026.
