Employer moving and my rights?

Can anyone advise me on this problem.
I have just been informed by my employer she is moving premises, she has given no notice and just says she is moving when she wants. The new location is not on a bus route ( in the middle on an industrial estate ) and would take me 2 hours to get there on public transport then foot. I don't have a car. This would also put another hour on my unpaid travel time between jobs. Meaning I can't get back for my daughter at hometime. I am on zero hours but work around 18 hours per week and worked for her just more then a year. Do I have any rights at all?
Contract states I am required to work at any work place.

You're on a zero hours contract. You can refuse any offers of work. You aren't required to do any work at all if you don't want to.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
Very simple version of the answer would seem to be "No". Contract states you are required to work at any work place and you have been employed for less than 2 years. Best bet is to look for another job.0

If your employer was moving far away and the commute was long then you would be entitled to either relocation or redundancy. I'm not sure that a two hour commute would be considered unreasonable. Also zero hours contracts are not entitled to redundancy. So either way I don't think you'd be entitled to anything.0

What "rights" were you expecting? An employer is perfectly entitled to move their place of business.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
