Heat -free for roofers: Security and wages in extreme weather conditions

at a time when extreme weather conditions occur more and more, the roofers in the Zollernalbkreis show how important such an adaptation is in their industry. The extreme temperatures in summer represent a significant challenge for the workers who are often exposed to the elements. According to Andreas Harnack, the regional manager of the IG Bau Baden-Württemberg, it is essential that roofers receive "heat-free" in extreme conditions such as intensive sun or strong storm.

Health of the workers first of all

The safety and health of the roofers have a top priority. The union IG Bau explains that there are protection through measures such as constant skin care, covers and sufficient drinking, some conditions can still become extreme. Under these circumstances, there is a so-called "sunbathing break", which is not only health-oriented, but also a regulation of wages in the form of loss money.

Financial security during the forced break

Andreas Harnack emphasizes that the interruptions in work due to bad weather or extreme temperatures are uncomfortable, but no dramatic financial losses for the wages of the roofers mean. The "loss of loss", also known as "extreme weather replacement wages", is with three quarters of the normal hourly wage. This regulation ensured that the jobs in the roofing trade were made "weatherproof" by the union and employer.

scope of the loss allowance

A roofer can record up to 53 failures in the months from April to November, and these hours are collected by the loss of loss. This money is calculated and paid out via the social security funds of the roofing trade, known as Soka roof. This initiative ensures that the roofers in an industry that depends heavily on the weather have a financial reserve.

conclusion: one step in the right direction

Overall, it can be seen that the loss fee is not only a necessary measure to protect the workforce, but also represents one of the few approaches to alleviate the financial burdens through extreme weather conditions. The implementation of such regulations helps to support the roofers and their important contributions to the construction industry.
