L.U.C.A.S Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Originally I got a job where I could travel too by using the bus services, now they have moved to another area where I cant get the bus too. The company is threatening to sack me. and telling me I should get another means of travel to the new base. Basically telling me to get a car?? but, I cant afford a car on the bare rate of £6.19 the manager, put a suggestion to me saying pay for this BMW £500 i persume he were selling and we will take £100 off your wages per month after that, but the car wouldnt actually be owned by me?? Back to the problem, Can they sack you for it? ---------- Post added 10-01-2013 at 20:14 ---------- they let others take vans, even tho i live 10minutes away from one van users route, yet they (management) say no too much cost in diesel. I have offered to pay £10 a week but still the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said I'm afraid it's your responsibility to get to your place of work even if they do move to the other side of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludragonfly Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Could you cycle or if it is too far get a moped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If you have been there 2years or over? you can claim redundancy You should not be sacked for a firm moving location but you can be dismissed for failing to turn up for work. If the firm is relocating there is no case for redundancy. If the firm is relocating and merging/changing ownership etc you may have a case for TUPE related redundancy. Your union/CAB will advise.
