COMPLIANCE

NBCPSS — National Bargaining Council for the Private Security Sector

The NBCPSS sets the minimum wage rates and conditions of employment for security officers. Compliance means our officers are paid correctly for their grade and area — and that your contract price is a real one.

Why underpriced guarding is a client risk

If a quote is materially below what council wage rates allow, someone is being underpaid — and unpaid wage liabilities, strikes and sudden officer turnover land on your site, not only on the provider's balance sheet.

What council compliance covers

The council determines the employment framework our costing is built on:

  • Minimum wage rates by officer grade and geographic area
  • Overtime, night-shift and public-holiday allowances
  • Leave, sick leave and termination conditions
  • Provident fund and industry levy contributions

Common questions

How can I tell if a quote is below council rates?
Ask the provider to break the rate down per officer per shift against the applicable NBCPSS grade rate. A compliant provider can show it.
