Allowances

[ch 1: page 8]

Additional allowances on top of basic pay may be paid by an employer for a number of reasons. These can include undertaking additional duties on top of the normal role, working atypical or unsocial hours, or being on standby to do so, working away from home, travelling to work, and working in London or other more expensive areas of the country.
