I think her Employers are right. Although it seems unfair, it's only a temporary measure until the snow lets ups. She could stay at home and not get paid if she prefers. Lots of people are currently spending 3+ hours getting to work at the moment, they're not paid, just doing what is necessary at the moment.

She could well stay at home but the thing is with home care is that people are dependant on their carer ie help to get out bed some services users cannot do this safely on their own :rolleyes: sometimes we may be the only person who goes in daily that is why we are are hardy breed and we will get to that person by hook or crook this is why we are home carers because we care about our service users you cant just decide oh well snow wont bother today so on this i totally agree with martindow.
