    Travelling to work 'is work'

    Travelling to work 'is work', European court rules - BBC News

    Of course it is.

    So if MyCoLtd requires me to travel to and from a client's premises for the purpose of providing services, surely expenses incurred by such travel ought to be reimbursed, as that's working time? This could presumably have implications for little Georgy Osborne's ideas about travel expenses, if some lawyer gets their grubby mitts on it

      I've always included travel time when calculating my true hourly rate.

      So if the London contract commute adds 4 hours to the day on average, calculate the hourly rate based on 11 or 12 hours, not 7 or 8 spent at your desk.

      Commuting sucks. The Hooman Rights court should ban it as inhuman.

        Its only to do with working hours.

        If your ltd is making you work too many hours then sue them.

          I'm sure a suitably skilled lawyer can twist things to fit

            Hopefully this directive will keep foreigners out of London.

            Damned Swindon immigrants coming here and taking our jobs.

              HMRC run the government and make laws to suit themselves. Like retrospective legislation.

              I know you have been highly supportive - its not personal.

              I hope you get your travel expenses so you don't have to downgrade to Aldi burgers...

                I'll buy Aldi value mince, then I can squidge it into a lump and call it a handmade artisanal burger

                    Surely B2B relationships are free from these pesky rules about 'rights'?
