13.8 Authorization of dayworks
Some extra work ordered may be paid for at dayworks rates. This is adopted
when no unit rates seem applicable, or when the amount of work required is
indeterminate. Atypical application of dayworks rates would be for offloading
and stacking pipes delivered by the employer for use on the job – if no bill item
for this has been allowed. In the UK the Schedules of Dayworks Carried out
Incidental to Contract Work issued by the Civil Engineering Contractors Asso-
ciation (CECA) is widely used as a basis for charging dayworks. The most
recent Schedule (issued in November 2002) provides for payment as follows:
• The cost of labour per hour is to be taken as the wages paid to a worker
(inclusive of overtime, bonus, travelling time and lost time due to weather)
