Mobility Clause

Crossy

My OH is an electrical engineer and normally works in London, the mobility cluase in his contract of employment states that he may be required to work away from his base site (London) for a temporary period. His has been relocated to Birmingham since December, he stays in a grotty hotel Monday to Thursday and just comes home for the weekends.

He has asked when he can return to his base site, but is told there is no work in London, working away like this takes a big strain on both of us. But what constitutes a temporary period as specified in his COE?

Surely they should make him redundant if there is no work, he has been there 8 years and I suspect they are doing this to make him leave.

His employer can't just magic work up for your husband. He is working and receiving a wage, albeit in manner which he / you aren't too happy about. Nevertheless it is a wage.

I'm sure his company would prefer to keep him employed than to make him redundant. Companies will only make people redundant as a last resort.

Maybe your husband should look around for another job.

So you would rather he was made redundant than stayed in employment?

Really?
