job relocation

watty77

Just been told that our company is to close and that they are intending to relocate to another site 40 miles away . I have been told there will be a job for me there or i can take voluntary redundancy. My question is am i entitled to a travel allowance if i take the job , to cover fuel costs .

thankyou

You need to ask if the company would cover this to avoid making a redundancy.
Some companies would do it and others may give you this for a limited period only - ie for 12 months.

You would not be automatically entitled to an allowance however as VR is on the table as a 'reasonable' alternative.

Unless you have a relocation agreement in your contract this would be redundancy and not voluntary redundancy.

just been told there will be no extra money avaliable for anyone who wishes to relocate , either we take the job or take redundancy thats the way its gonna be . redundancy for me then.
