Can any legal eagles put me right here. My company has changed my role hence I am eligible for London Weighting. Now the T&C says this is calculated at 20% of base salary up to a max of £4k, thats it, nothing else. They have given me a figure much less than this saying that what I have been given is the 'standard weighting' a term not to be seen anywhere in the Company T&C. Is this worth a fight?

The T&Cs were dated on the same month as my contract, the contract refers to the enclosed T&Cs and does not mention any option for updates

What you should find though it that when you get a pay rise or a change to benefits is that the company updates your terms and conditions to incorporate new policies. It's usually there to ensure they save money on new hires when they realised they were previously a bit too generous.

Normally in these cases they will have a clause that states something to the effect that those employed before 1/1/03 get x, those employed on or after 1/1/03 get y.

Review all the documentation you have, it may provide the answer you are looking for.

In most cases HR are just trying it on, pretty stupid really as an employee put in this position is either going to generate a case for constructive dismissal or get the money in the end, both of which are expensive.
