What are county loadings?
County loading was created to recompense part-time coroners with large districts for time spent travelling. An example would be when a coroner whose district encompassed a number of different venues, he/she would have to travel a considerable distance in order to cover their area. In some authorities existing salaries include an additional percentage payment of at least 10% of the standard salary, to cover this. The precise amount is determined locally between the local authority and the coroner concerned.
