Gardening Leave and Expenses

aealing

Help...Please!

I am soon likely to be put on a period of 3 months gardening leave as I move to a competitor of my current employer.

Part of contract of employment includes a full expensed fuel benefit (all my fuel private and business is paid for although I then have to pay tax on it.)

I would have that that I should still been able to claim for petrol expenses as is more than a requirment of my job - its also a big benefit.

I am getting comflicting messages so any help would be great!

Thanks

I would have thought so.

It is your employer's choice not to have you at work for those three months so there is no reason why you should be worse off.

All your T&Cs of employment should continue including full salary and all other benefits. You are still employed - just being asked not to turn up for work.
