every week i get charged 2% as well as my 20% that goes to a citb levy company. i understand it goes into a pot to help teach the begginers is this right and does anybody know any more about it.

its not optional we have got to pay.

cheers lads, mac
 
load of ball5 that i had this issue before its for citb levvy firm i worked for didnt have any labs or apprentices on citb either its a swizz. do they take your 2% before your deductions or after.??
 
i am just a subbie for a large drylining firm, they are tight with the money and i have been docked over £500 in the last few months, all my measures come from the laptop as i cant waste time measuring up to not get paid because the laptop says different, these measures are done by the apprentice QS, the main QS is also the MD now. anyway i only book in from what it says on the laptop therefore i know what im getting. but i have just checked my wages and i am £70 down since dec 1st they are saying its this CITB levy company taking 2% every week off my wages.

get this i am a plasterer with 6 years behind me 22 in my prime 3 gauges a day fri aswell and 2 on a sat and i take home £600 per week on price.

i think i need a belt
 
I pay it too Mac, as a subby, i don't get any benefit whatsoever and have been paying it for years, come to think of it they did my cscs and told me how wonderful and kind they were for helping me out.
 
An extra 2% tax each week isnt it.

The CITB claim they are training the next generation, but the next generation will go and learn trades anyway, because they want a job.

Its just the usuall regulatory nonsense and money wasteing that is a cancer on this kuntry.

And no I didnt miss spell that last word ;)
 
I suggest that you register with the CITB yourself and get some benefit from it. You'll never have to pay levy in your own right unless your wages bill reaches £76K. That's why your employer is taking it from you. They are passing it on to the subcontractors instead of paying it from their profit margin. When you are CITB registered, if you decide to take on an apprentice at any time, you will receive considerable contributions towards their wages, and a bonus when they pass their NVQ levels. You can also go on courses yourself at little or no cost to you.
 
22% off my wages a week is a joke. what benifits do you get for being self employed these days.
no holiday pay
no sick pay
no pay when your out of work
no pension
higher tax rate

times are very hard i dont need to pay this s**t im gunna throw a right wobbly on mon morn when gaffers in
 
the thing is tony the firm i sub to dont have any apprenyice's just subbies the only ones on the books are the gaffers..
it says fuk all on my wage slip either
 
I had this back in 1990 when I was working for a partitioning company. They passed the levy on as well. You could argue the toss but you'll probably not get anywhere, and you're not in the position to get any extra back with your measure. Just bend over and take it until something better comes along then leave them.
 
if what u say is right tho tony the bill should land on the firms mat as they are the ones who earn over 76k.
i have rung the office and she said if i was registered myself i wouldn't have to pay it through the firm it would be between me and citb.

now it doesn't say anything on my wage slip so and this firm has no workers on the books so i am wondering if they are pocketing the 2% they take off all the lads every week to save money.

i might be out of a job on tuesday but i am fed up to the back teeth of paying out, and being treated like a fancy labourer. its a joke how plasterers are treated these days.

It should be documented on your deductions sheet for your own records. If you feel that strongly about it, then register yourself with the CITB. It costs nothing until you reach the threshold, and how likely is that?
They're just getting you boys to pay it instead of them.
 
[NAH mate they wouldnt do that

what the firm called? pm me if you dont want to mention it on the forum and you are entitled to holiday pay. But the usually swindle that in the way they price.
 
i lads . go onto the citb web site and go to the section which ays your questions answerd. one of the q is about this topic. And it clearly states in black and white that this levy is againsnt the law. unless agreed in writing or in an employment contract. This is for PAYE as well as subbies. You can also contact them if you wish to seek legal advice on the matter. gud luck ;)

In other equally shocking news, scientists have disscovered water is wet.

the rood word begins with a curly C
 
Spoke to the Cskills man and he said he thought that this contribution had ended due to the subbies. However it is acceptable that the firms shift the 2% contribution on to you if your a subbie. If you were on the books the firms contribution would only be .5% of their PAYE.
