    24 Month Rule

    I'm putting this in General as I'm sure it is a stupid question, but still needs asking.

    I've read plenty of threads that describe how much a journey has to change for it to be considered different enough to reset the 24 month clock. They all assume the journey's change is working venue, does it count if you move house? Say I work in Leeds and commute from the North East, then decide to move to West Yorkshire, can I start the clock again. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
    I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

      No because the sole purpose of the 24 month clock is to give people time to decide to either find another (local) job or move nearer...
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Yes that is the opposite of what the rule is for.

        So you move somewhere more solubrious and the taxpayer funds your travel? I don't think so

          Quite probably. Although you end up at the same place the journey is not "essentially the same" unless all you're doing is getting on the same train a bit further down the line.

              If the journey is different, then I don't see why you cannot reset the clock. Maybe one for the accounting forums where an accountant might look at it?

                There is no rule. You work anywhere you want for as long as you want until your caught.

                    Sounds very reasonable; but I vaguely recall the rule was based solely on the destination, regardless of clientco, and that only a change in that of at least two miles resets the clock.
