Office Relocation

Faith177

Hi

Quick question on behalf of my mum.

Her office is moving next month to the other side of town the problem is where they are now has it's own car park the new office is in the centre of town this means the only place to park is the local multi storey which costs £37.50 a month.

Do the company have to reimburse the staff for this. They are only going to be at this new office for about a year while they wait for their new office to be finished being built in which case they will have a car park again.

Hope this makes sense thanks in advance

No, they don't have to reimburse their staff.

Still worth asking if the company could at least contribute, they can only say no and if you can get more than one person asking it could add a bit more pressure.

Could your mum and her friends car share so they could spread the parking costs?

theoretica

Or could the company run a bus from the old, or other, free parking? 300 staff could make it hard to find a place in the pay car park.

Out of 300 staff there has to be some in a position where the move is better for them.

This happened to me, with an out of town office which then moved to the town centre. I opted to use public transport, could she look into this option? However parking for me was £10 a day so there was little debate as to my options.

She works in Inverness so a lot of the staff come from all over the Highlands so its quite difficult for them to all get in together.

As they do flexi time and a lot have to travel to meetings all over Scotland so even though there are about 300 only say 100-150 be in at one time.

The public transport isn't fantastic and hardly reliable.

I think they are going to see if the office can negotiate a rate for the office staff
