They'll now have a minimum hourly rate of €11.55.
The Junior Employment Minister's announced contract cleaning workers are to get a pay increase from the start of April.
Meath-West TD Damien English has approved an Employment Regulation Order for a new minimum hourly rate of €11.55 per hour.
Those working in the Contract Cleaning Industry will get a further pay hike to €12.30 per hour from the 1st of April 2024.
Minister English said:
“I am very pleased to approve this Employment Regulation Order which I will sign to bring into effect on 1 April 2022.
“It will see the pay of contract cleaning workers increase from 1 April 2022 with further increases on 1 April 2023 and 1 April 2024.
“I would like to thank the members of the Joint Labour Committee, the Labour Court and those interested parties who submitted submissions as part of the public consultation for their contributions to this process. This process sits very much within the context of Ireland's voluntarist system of industrial relations.”
“The Contract Cleaning Joint Labour Committee is a good example of how effective the Joint Labour Committee system can be when representatives of both employees and employers can agree a way forward for a sector.
“For many workers, the advantage of Joint Labour Committees is that they see fair terms and conditions such as wage rates, sick pay etc. agreed and given effect by an Employment Regulation Order. For some employers, the advantage of the system, based as it is on the principle of self-governance, means that they can agree and set minimum pay and conditions, agree on work practices which are custom-made to their industry”.
