Unless the law is different in Scotland. Best practice would be allow you to take flexi, work it back another time, unpaid leave or allow you to choose to take annual leave. However, in Scotland an employer can tell you when you are taking your annual leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'd set out for work on foot when I got the text saying stay at home. I have a feeling we'll be asked to use our annual leave which given I set out for work doesn't seem entirely fair. Tell them to f**k off, open a can and put your feet up. Jobsworths ffs, EU HR law on your side here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I think the thing is that your employer is under no obligation to pay you for travel or weather disrupted missed days but so taking annual leave is the better of the two options there. The complication is if you are ready and willing to work and the employer makes the decision to close. I would go to work, touch the door and go home to keep yourself right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Some absolute cretin interviewed in the middle of the M80 jam for the One O'Clock News, who left Aberdeen at 4pm yesterday and became trapped heading back from Glasgow at 8, despite all warnings and clear advice not to fucking travel in the Central Belt. The archetypal idiot car driver whose sense of entitlement is currently drawing emergency service resources away from where they are needed in the community. I've got as much sympathy for his battle against hypothermia as for the German armies stuck outside Moscow in 1941.

peasy23 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Regarding work, my understanding from my shop steward days is that if your employer decides to close then they will still have to pay you. If they remain open but you can't safely make it in, then they can't force you to use annual leave. You should have the option of taking it if you want but you should also be able to take it as authorised unpaid leave or come to an arrangement to work back the hours lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Also if you have dependents at nursery or school and they’re sent home you are also entitled to emergency leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Firstbus Glasgow have tweeted that they are running some limited services.

EdinburghPar1975 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Seen a tweet from Edinburgh Airport saying they're shutting down at 6 this evening to get ready for tomorrow as they're expecting more issues. Seems weird that they're shutting it down again (didn't even know it had re-opened!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
