    Are you a key worker? 

    The question comes back to what is in your contract of employment. If there is provision to do "reasonable" overtime, then you are obliged to make efforts to comply. If what they are asking is "unreasonable" then you have to take the matter up with your line manager or HR through your company's normal HR processes. 

    Here is a guide to some of the issues you might come across. https://www.acas.org.uk/coronavirus

    • All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's
    • When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
    • "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere
    • All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's and their rules apply.
