Snow Question

[bednobs]

if your work shuts its site, and you can't work even if you could get there, do they pay you still?

[douglas9401]

I suppose it depends on your contract.

[Prudie]

Yes I expect it depends on your contract. I am TUPE'd under public sector T&Cs so would get 'special paid leave' if made to leave early or told we are shut.

Hi Bednobs,

According to the BBC news website; if your employer shuts your place of work, you are entitled to pay and they can't force you into taking holiday to cover the closure.

I am on zero hours contract. IF I don't work I don't get paid. Every day this week has been cancelled so far and tomorrow looks hardly likely so I will be a full weeks income down through no fault of mine.

[Eleena]

That's really terrible jazzy.
