Your trust will be getting income from this. The parking company may be the ones taking your money, but they will be paying the trust a fee to run the scheme.

OR ... the trust are getting a percentage of the paid parking tickets.

Could be. There are many ways such an arrangement could be structured, but without doubt the hospital will be receiving some income.

What I would prefer is that public sector workers did not have to essentially work for 2 days a year for free just to come to work (because certainly for me that is what it equates to). It might be slightly more tolerable if we were contributing to the income of the Trust and therefore supporting the healthcare of our local community but all we are doing is filling the coffers of a private parking firm. It is nauseating.

My work doesn't have parking and it costs a fortune to park nearby (so I don't). From my point of view you are complaining that the perk of your employer providing parking isn't a big enough one.

It doesn't seem unfair to me.

Think of it as what proportion of your total income you have to pay to park at work. If you earn £20,000 a year and have to pay £200 a year to park, it costs you 0.01% of your income. If you earn £100,000 then even if it costs you £355 a year to park you are paying a much smaller 0.0035% of your income.

Maths isn't a strong point of yours is it?

1% & 0.355% is what you're after.

Does this help?

What a mean spirited thread. Some well paid bod moaning that those on minimum wage pay £13 a month less for parking.

Good point. You pay for a space so it shouldn't matter how much you earn. I would check with the private car parking company and see what their answer is.

As already stated, as long as its not discriminatory to one of the protected characteristics, then its perfectly legal.

AIUI, the only thing that would make it illegal would be if there was an implied discrimination. For example if one sex earned a lot more than another on average then the higher earning sex could be being discriminated against.

And where do you stop with that argument? Both the higher and lower paid employees have to pay the same for each gallon of petrol they put in their cars.
