my bird works in a town centre at the moment, its only 1/2 mile off our home so she can walk to work which is good as she has an MGF on a low mileage policy

now her work is wanting to move premises 15miles away out in the middle of nowhere (there isn't even a bus route! )

can they make her move? as she as it really cushty at the mo

cheers

 

look in her contract I sure she have to move like the rest of the other people she works with

 

Of course they can

 

my bird/ex/shagpiece/dunno what's going on! had to relocate 35 miles, for work as they were shutting down local branch.

 

Had this problem where I work those that can't drive were told they would have to get publc transport and that there would be no help financially.

 

Oh ,, lets not move our business as its far to cushy for some of our people

Get real mate , you seriously dont think they cant ask you to move do you

 

yup its a case of if it dont suit ya ...........



shite but true

 

yep if they wana move they can its the company they can do what they like unfortunatly looks like her cushy days are over

 

no need for sarcy comments!

i dont fucking know thats why i was asking??!?

cheers for answers lads - take it can they just move you without offering you any sort of insentive then? ie company car or pay rise or owt?

 

Basically yes,
Do you honestly think they will stay in the town centre, pay higher rates and think about your Maude having it cushy living round the corner when they could relocate to bigger premises out of town for much lower rent and running costs.

All she will get from them is a new address to turn up to at 9am Monday morning.

 

Well the incentive is to still have a job! She has a choice : move with the company or not work there anymore, simple as that.

I'm not too sure as to what you think she will do if she don't wanna move... Will the place she works still be in the town centre or not? Are the relocating or opening a new branch? If it's a new branch (and the location she currently works still has a branch of that company still there) then she may be able to stay in the location she is. If it's relocation (and the place she works is closed) then no - she goes with it, or finds a new job...

 

It is not that simple any more, the European Employment Laws that apply in this country now are a nightmare. It depends if her job will be exactly the same in the new location, why they are moving location and the exact distance involved. Depending on the exact circumstances, it is quite possible that if she does not wish to relocate to the new location, then she will come under the Forced Redundancy regulations and will be in line for a payout.

 

unless in is written in her contract then they dont have todo anything to make it sweet her end i.m afraid m8

 

cool cheers for answers lads, not the ones i was hoping for but worth a shot anyways

shes the installs manager for a phone systems company, shes like the main person there (apart from the overall MD/manager guy)

they're moving cos they want a building with 24hr access. but the prob is the building where they are on about moving to is 15miles away over the tops so in winter if the weathers bad it isn't gonna be accessable anways

thing what piss's off is that she works mainly on her own, opening & locking up every day

as the engineers are always on site and the manager guy is always out selling

my bird is petite little blond, any fucker could over power her and shes got to work in the middle of nowhere on her own!
