The Agricultural Wages Board for Northern Ireland has announced proposes changes to pay for agricultural workers. Following a meeting on the 15th of January 2016, the AWB proposes to increase existing minimum rates for agricultural workers across all grades by 2% from 6 April 2016, with a rise in the accommodation offset to a maximum of £34 per week. The AWB is constituted under the Agricultural Wages Order 1977 and meets each year to consider changes to the rates of pay and related conditions for agricultural workers.
