I work with a Local authority on Site
As part of our Job on site we get paid an allowance to get from our fixed place of work to the site which is a portocabin, travel around the site inspecting contractors wor which is up to 50 miles a day. As a result we forgo any subsistance or mileage for this allowance.
This is 200 per week since the year 2000
In 2008 the allowance was taxed.
In 2009 the allowance was subject to pension levy, Income levy also
In 2010(last week) the allowance is now subject to 25% reduction in line with Dept of Finance cut on Expenses.
This leaves us now with a net of approx €60 per week to travel up to 2 hrs a day to and from our fixed place of work, travel around a site that accumulates up to 50 miles a day and for go any allowances for this under employers duties.
Is this issue being dealt with in the appropriate manner by our employer?
