. The package includes:
  • medical cover;
  • allowances;
  • contribution towards private school fees for children;
  • a final salary based pension scheme.
The pay of staff members consists of a basic salary, weighted to compensate for the cost of living in London, plus additional allowances and deductions. The final salary is calculated by adding the relevant allowances and by deducting social security contributions and other taxes.
Annual leave entitlement starts at 24 days. This is in addition to the Agency holidays.

Yep, still not as good as big business though. I suppose job security might be better, unless you are British. I assume they will have their contracts terminated in 2019, and will have to live on universal discredit and what they can pick up stacking shelves.
 
Correction coefficient (updated 16/03/2017)
The basic salary is subject to a country correction coefficient to compensate for the cost of living compared to Brussels. The current London correction coefficient is 141.8% and it is reviewed on annual basis. The future location of the Agency will depend on the future relationship between the UK and the EU, which is unknown at present. Representatives of the Member States will determine the Agency's location by common agreement.

so does this mean they get paid an extra 41.8%over working in brussels

No, depends where they come from. Paris, less than 41.8%, Bucharest, probably much more.

Our cities have lost out on European city of culture as rightly the EU has now dismissed applications from Belfast which looks a very good bet as in 2023 it is 25 years since the good Friday agreement. Never mind goodbye to a estimated £4 billion
Liverpool our last city that won the award saw £750 million in the first month of the award. We will have to have our own I guess and I hope Norwich wins if we continue the idea
Prize money will be nothing of course
Col will say **** them anyway so no biggy

What you fail to understand is that I only say "**** 'em" because the EU have been so uncooperative. Even now, I suspect the improved offer from the UK won't be enough for our masters.
I'd like a good deal for everyone. The EU negotiators don't!!

They will take the deal because that won't want to lose our money. Don't listen to all the 'scare boys' Col.
