London and Regional Allowances Briefing Paper
The gradual shift from paying workers in London an extra
allowance for the high cost of living, working and travelling in
the capital to the use of a recruitment and retention premia for
employers to use to fill posts has never been more
crucial.
With housing costs in London and the South East at an all time
high, and with labour markets being seen as exceptionally tight,
even with London holding the highest unemployment rate across the
country at 6.9%, the issue of workers in London and how they can be
paid an allowance to compensate them for the costs of working
and/or living in London is at the top of many sectoral pay
bargaining agendas.
