FSD 55
DATE: June 1, 2003
SUBJECT: Post Living Allowance
To assist employees at missions where the cost of living is higher than in Ottawa/Gatineau, the employer provides a
non-accountable allowance to compensate for the higher costs of purchasing goods and services at post.
Effective June 1, 2001, the National Joint Council (NJC) approved a revised methodology which recognized that
employees at different salary levels spend differing percentages of salary for post-related expenses.
At that time, it was agreed that the percentage of salary subject to adjustment, by salary level, would be adjusted
when the next full Statistics Canada Survey of Household Spending (FAMEX) was released.
The results of the 2001 survey have now been released, and Appendix A has been amended accordingly.
The grandfathering provisions remain unchanged.
