Restricting travel abroad after 17th May?

Rebecca

Hello, 

A question has arisen within our organisation, can employers legally stop employees travelling abroad now that the 'Stay in the UK' restriction will be lifted? Can we stop them going to green countries, or can we not do this?

  • No you cant. For one its perfectly legal to travel (so "legally" you cant) and secondly you could only do it as a reasonable management request of if you had some pretty restrictive contractual clauses. It cant (for 99.99% of cases at least) be a reasonable management request as HM Govt who know more than you say it is OK to travel.

    You can ask nicely but I am not sure what you will say

    On what basis would you even be trying it? I quite fancy a holiday in the sandwich Islands

    Thanks Keith, We are within the childcare sector and feel it would be an additional risk.. we have managed to go the whole pandemic with no cases in our setting.

    On what scientific basis do you think it would be an additional risk?

    Given the very severe restrictions that HMG have placed on travel there are places in the UK with potentially higher contagion rates...

    But you can ask nicely
