@shawthorpe: When does your working day start when you have no fixed work location and you are out on the road? #hr #humanresources #hrlife #employee #employer #work #contracts #worklife #employmentlaw #workinghours #ontheroad #sales #reps #engineer #uktiktok🇬🇧uk #law #legal #shawthorpe #rights #tribunal #fyp #question
Paid from when I leave my front door until I get home 🙂

I took a job for a high profile company in the UK. We were expected to travel one hour each way for free.
I took the job on knowing this as the wage was good.
What got me in the end was most of the other guys were only 15 minutes from home and I was always one hour so I felt I was just being milked off.
So I left and went back to my old job where I really enjoy it.
My role is now hybrid.
I’ll get paid from the door when I’m on the road, but when I’m in the office, I’ll get paid my Office hours. I am now only 20 minutes from the office so giving up 20 minutes at the end of each day in a company car I don’t mind.
If you don’t like what you’re doing, walk away, it will eat you up inside

My workaround, my employees base is the yard, if there house is 20 mins away & the job is 30 mins away from their house I deduct 20 mins, if job is 10 mins away from their house I still deduct 20 min, I also charge them for the mileage of private use of vehicle ( ghost commute ) so if 8 miles to yard & 12 mile to job first 8 miles of day is private, if job is only 6 mile I only charge the 6 mile. Same for return leg.

I understood it as- If you have a contracted place of work then any trips to that site does not count as work. So as a driver if you have to go to your contracted place of work & pick up your vehicle, then your working time starts from there, not your house.

if your a mobile worker if you are in a company vehicle using comapny diesel on company insurance then legally you are on company time meaning you are working, if you have an accident in a company van travelling to a job i bet the compnany expects you to cough up the company excess for the van

I work for a telecoms company. My contract is 0800-1600. I park my van at home (no option to park at a yard etc). they expect me to be onsite for 0800. Sometimes that can be 120 miles away. They do pay me for travel time which is always there go to excuse when you question them about it. But legally I don't have to leave my house until 0800, and I can leave site to arrive back home for 1600?

I travel to different building sites for work and visit customers in their new homes to carry out repairs. Sometimes I have to collect stock from the stores or suppliers on the way there or on my way home so that I can do my jobs for the week. The company can also divert me if a customer cancels, so I believe I am a perepatetic worker and im at my employer's disposal as soon as I set off in my van. Is this correct as my employer states that the office and regional area is my fixed place of work?

I deduct 1 hour a day from all my engineers and that’s 30 mins for lunch plus 15 mins in the morning and 15 mins in the evening. The reason we do that is the office staff all drive around 15 mins each way to get to the office so to keep it fair all round we deduct the 15 mins each way for the engineers.
