what Local Weighting means ?

Hi. Could you please explain to me what Local Weighting means? - I
have spotted it in a job advert next to salary details.

Many Thanks

Hi there...local weighting means that if you work in an expensive
area you recieve an allowance...for example...London Weighting is
worth between £3000/£4000 per annum. As far as I know there is no
organisation responsible for setting a weighting allowance...it is
normally at the discretion of the employer. If you like riding a
bike, then the allowance is something of a bonus!
