Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The Motor Industry Bargaining Council (MIBCO) has finalised its wage tables for 2024/2025, outlining what petrol station attendants should be paid in 2024.
According to the wage tables for 2024/2025, petrol attendants earn a minimum of R1 962.45 per week (R7 850 a month), or R43.61 per hour, while cashiers earn slightly less (R1 941.75 per week).
In line with the MIBCO multi-year wage settlement agreement signed in 2022, the retail margin on all grades of petrol may be increased.
The retail margin increase is subject to confirmation by the Department of Minerals and Energy Resources (DMER) and should be ring-fenced for the recovery of wage increases. MIBCO will send a circular to the Industry should the retail margin increase to advise on the effective date for Sector-5 wage increases, according to the Main Collective Agreement.
According to data from Trade & Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS), roughly 140 000 people are employed in various positions at petrol stations across the country.
