ann just rang me from work saying that she and a few others have got to goto this other place for some extra training thing of some sort

they have had taxi prices and its going to cost them £15 each way

so for the 3 of them thats £10 each

i said that there work has to pay for this but the work said that ann and the others have to make there own way to and from the place and there own expense

is there some law or something which states that if a work place sends to another place they have to either provide transport of pay for travel cost's

Yep......you are contracted to work at a set place.

Cost of travel to another place is classed as buisness travel (so on a car you would need buisness insurance) and hence is payable by the employer.

Is it essential training? I.E. will they all not be able to continue in their jobs without it? The employer is not legally obliged to pay travel costs unless it's an extreme distance. £15 in a taxi to me is extreme so they have a choice, either do the training and try and get their money back via receipts or simply refuse to do the training!

It does depend on the contract od employment, as some include an option to be sent to other (normally named) sites...

[Marks DTM Calib]

Key thing to do is check what her contract says

[nick v6]

i think its another part of handling course of some sort

i have offered to take them but cant get a baby sitter that early of a morning

[tunnie]

check what her contract says, I would refuse any training that was not expensed. that said my boss never noticed me expensing an ipod

I am going on site in a week or two time - replacing part of a barcoding network.

Hmm I'll be on LPG for a 220 mile round trip to Wigan
