Company being unfair, need advice urgently?

Our company has moved over christmas. The place they have moved to is awkward to get to and involves a bus ride and a good 30min walk. When talks were in place the company said they will put a minibus on for anyone who needs it, which they have but I am not allowed on it because I can get my husbands car 1 week in three. I have asked what i am supposed to do for the other two weeks and have been told I will have to get the bus. It used to take me 10 mins to get to work before and as I have a little girl to sort out in the morning I am going to have real difficulty. I am going to have to pay for childcare now as well as travelling expenses. I feel as if I am being forced to look for another job. Has anyone got any advice?Company being unfair, need advice urgently?
tough question - i think that the company are legally obliged to offer you a voluntary redundancy package in the event of a relocation, but it may depend on how far they have moved.


I would definately seek legal advice on this, it sounds like you have a very strong case. remember to keep a record of any costs you have incurred on a daily basis.Company being unfair, need advice urgently?
i think you'll find that your company are not legally obliged to make travel to work as easy as possible for their employees...sorry - but i think you'll find that to be the case.
The company may have moved location, however, they have kept your job and its yours. They have honoured their contract but the responsibility of getting yourself into to work is yours alone. They have put on a mini bus which goes to show that they are concerned about their workforce. They might in the future decide not to provide such transport (they don't have to). If the bus is free then they can say who rides in it! But the excuse that you have the use of a car, is unrealistic, the probable factor here is that there are too many employees wishing to use this free transport. If there are too many employees wanting the bus they would have to hire another one, which involves additional costs. Does this additional cost outweigh the value of input from the staff? As there is only one bus then the answer is obvious No! At the end of the day it is your responsibility to get yourself into work.
I'd suggest talking to your manager personally and seriously ask him what he would consider a viable solution. Be honest and tell him your concerns.


If you're not satisfied with the possible solutions, move on.





Good luck!
find out if anyone else has been told to do the same if not you have them on discrimination if they have you may have grounds to appeal as they must treat everyone the same if the mini bus is put on for staff then they have no right to tell you not to get on it as you are staff
