Ok, I am direct with a consultancy based in Suffolk, their end Client is in Sussex, the wording of the contract is:
"The supplier shall deliver services from whichever location is most appropriate to the Client, including, but not limited to XXXXXX premises, the Suppliers own premises or the Client premises"
For the last 10 months I have been based in Suffolk, with trips to Sussex as and when needed, usually agreed in advance but sometimes very short notice, and as such I am renting a place there. I am now getting wind that they want me to be based in Sussex full time, can I argue that they have accepted the working conditions for the past 10 months of me based in at the original location, could that then become the defacto place of work, or am I stuffed and have to suck it up and take the hit in my pocket for being in hotels while also paying for the accommodation in Suffolk?
Worse case is the contract is up end of Feb, so will walk (there is only a very very small chance I will want to stay, and if this is now the case its a good bargaining tool to ask for more money), just want to know if past working conditions can be taken as the norm after a while?
