Snowed in, yeah right

[jimbob]

I tried getting to work this morning but turned back cos I couldn't get through Endon. Just spent 1.5 hours getting home :mad2: Gonna email the boss and say I'm not going to make another attempt. Got no work with me tho, so looks like a TF day for me

What's the legal position for employed people getting snowed in Liz? Do we have to take a days holiday for it?

there's no employment legislation for it at all, so it comes down to individual employers views. I'll take a days holiday if I have to but considering my boss and one of my colleagues (who lives 2 streets away from me) have both said they're working from home today because they didn't want to risk travelling, then I don't see why I should have to take a holiday.

if your employer has a bad weather policy tho, it may be worth checking it.

But I wasn't risking my safety and my car by continuing to try and reach work, only to have to turn round 2 hours later and try and get home. The Highways Agency have said only travel if it's an absolute necessity today, and the gritters can't get round the roads if they're blocked with cars, so I'm tucked up in bed with my lappy eating biscuits :lol:

I can imagine my employer's bad weather policy goes something like "get to work at all costs" :lol:

I'm pretty sure my boss will be unhappy that I haven't made it to work. But he saw fit to "downgrade" the job I currently have before I started so I didn't need a laptop, mobile or blackberry :lol:

Staffordshire County Council have admitted that there is only enough grit left for 4 more days of bad weather :yikes:
