"What happens when people don’t turn up for work because of bad weather?"

Yet more weather warnings have been issued this week due to snow and icy conditions. As someone who has the ability to work from home, it has not affected my work routine too drastically these last few days. However, for those of you who were unable to or still can't drive to work, what are your employment rights, especially when the local authorities have advised people only to travel if it was absolutely necessary?

Business Car Manager, the UK's dedicated business motoring online magazine has provided answers to some of your drive to work questions in their recent post titled, "What happens when people don’t turn up for work because of bad weather?" written by Richard Davies. Although the editor has noted that the information is general and not to rely on it for making crucial decisions, it is a quick easy to understand reference to assist those wondering if they will have to take unpaid leave, even if they tried unsuccessfully to drive to work, or is an employer obliged to still pay you for the missed day? What happens if your child's school closes due to adverse weather and you find yourself without childcare and cannot come into work, then what?

The answer to those questions and more can be found in the informative post on the Business Car Manager website, you can click here to read it.
