| 1. The percentage for direct and indirect overheads will vary according to the scale | |||||||||||||
| of the turnover and any trvelling or overtime involved | |||||||||||||
| 2. This example is a guide representing additions of slightly over 100% on the | |||||||||||||
| direct costs of employment per hour | |||||||||||||
| 3. This example was compiled using the Working Hours and Rates of the | |||||||||||||
| National Working Rules for the Painting Trade in Scotland as issued by the | |||||||||||||
| Scottish Painting Council | |||||||||||||
| 4. Members are advised to agree a rate with customers in writing prior to commencing work | |||||||||||||
| 5. Members must calculate the appropriate percentages for their own business | |||||||||||||
| Revised calculation, prepared by the Technical and Contracts Committee of | |||||||||||||
| typical standard hourly base rate from 3 December 2016 | |||||||||||||
| Guaranteed Minimum Earnings | |||||||||||||
| Standard Basic Wage 1,818 (note 1) x £11.15 | £20,779.74 | ||||||||||||
| Employers’ National Insurance contributions @ 13.8% (note 2) | £1,748.15 | ||||||||||||
| Employers Contribution to CITB Annual Levy @ 0.50% | £103.90 | ||||||||||||
| Annual Holiday Payment (notes 3 & 8) | £1,805.94 | ||||||||||||
| TOTAL | £24,437.73 | ||||||||||||
| Hourly rate of labour as defined in Section 2, Clause 3.2 | |||||||||||||
| (£24437.73/1756) | £13.92 | ||||||||||||
| Note: Standard working hours per annum are calculated as follows | 1,976 | ||||||||||||
| 52 weeks @ 38 hours | |||||||||||||
| Less | 21 days | ||||||||||||
| Annual holidays = | 11 days @ 8 hours = 88 | ||||||||||||
| 10 days @ 7 hours = 70 | -158 | ||||||||||||
| 6 days @ 8 hours = 48 | |||||||||||||
| Public holidays = | 2 days @ 7 hours = 14 | -62 | |||||||||||
| TOTAL | 1,756 | ||||||||||||
| Notes | |||||||||||||
| 1. 1818 hours = 52 weeks @ 38 hours less annual holiday entitlement of 21 days (158 hours) | |||||||||||||
| 2. National Insurance is calculated as follows: NI Threshold £8112.00 per annum | |||||||||||||
| therefore the calculation is 13.8% of £12,667.74 | |||||||||||||
| 3. Because holiday credits were replaced with Earning Related Holiday Pay the new | |||||||||||||
| calculation used is £11.43×158 hours | |||||||||||||
| 4. The overall hours of holiday per year do not vary. However, the distribution between | |||||||||||||
| Annual and Public varies as a result of the variable days on which Christmas, Boxing | |||||||||||||
| Day and New Year’s Day fall | |||||||||||||
| 5. A percentage uplift should be added to the foregoing rate to cover the cost of all | |||||||||||||
| overheads and profit. The percentage has normally been incorporated within the | |||||||||||||
| contract documentation, either by the Sub Contractor inserting his own requirements | |||||||||||||
| or by agreeing to adopt the percentage already in use by the Main Contractor | |||||||||||||
| 6. When operating the contract daywork rate agreement, it should be borne in mind that | |||||||||||||
| the non-productive element of authorised overtime may be reimbursable with an on-cost | |||||||||||||
| percentage, in addition to the above calculation | |||||||||||||
| 7. The above example has been compiled on the basis of working hours and rates forming | |||||||||||||
| part of the National Working Rules for the Painting Trade in Scotland and issued by the | |||||||||||||
| Scottish Painting Council | |||||||||||||
| 8. Members using the B&CE Template scheme will pay a premium per week per operative – the | |||||||||||||
| hourly rate should be adjusted to recover this element | |||||||||||||
