What is "London Pay Allowance"

Extra few grand on your salary for living in London with its attendant insane rent/transport costs?

Not enough.

^^ seconded.

It's too much. People need to be incentivized to move out of London.

Agreed.

Alba's probably right but it's not going to happen. Meanwhile the civil service have been considering regional pay deals which will only exacerbate the pay differentials between different regions and further fuel house price inflation in already too expensive areas.

I don't think I have LPA in my job but it's complicated. I could earn a lot more as a Senior or Freelance Designer but instead am possibly overpaid re workload here (going on holiday for a week to come back to about 6 different people suddenly deciding they all want a piece of you ASAP is really challenging this long-established perception tho).

We don't get it either. Not sure how common it is in the media.

I always assumed LPA was only relevant if the organisation had operations outside London that fell within the same pay structure. London-only businesses just pay more in the first place, innnit.

Yeah, mostly seen it mentioned for Civil Service jobs, generally £2-3000

I wonder how much my counterpart in Milton Keynes is on.

Yeah it's that kind of job...so this does mean I get 4k more (what it says) if I get the job?

Was it advertised as a London job? If so, probably not. It will have been factored in.

the problem with incentives to get people to leave london is that nowhere else in britain is worth living in

yeah, london's awesome.

Yeah, it's really good.

cf most of london ILX being from zone 7

is that a london reference? i didn't get it :/

there's only 6 travelcard zones :(

I wonder how much my counterpart in Milton Keynes is on.
