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?

    We don't want to stop people going on holiday but can't give people an extra 10 days to quarantine too. Can we decline additional time off for this and ask people to consider this when booking their holiday and consider it unauthorised if they decide to travel to Amber or red list country?

    Yes you can - we have stated that people must note destination on any annual leave requests. We have also noted that if they are required to quarantine on return then they must work from home but if they are unable to do so because they have left their laptop at the office (we have suggested it may be sensible to prepare for working from home in the event there is a change to green/amber/red status while they are away) then they must use annual leave to cover the quarantine period and if they don't have enough annual leave it will need to be unpaid leave. No-one has complained - everyone is clear on our stance so if they book to go abroad they know up front what the implications are.
