Notice and changes to working location

My friend is a remote worker who goes to the office 90 miles away as and when required approximately 2-3 times a month.

They have just handed in their notice and the MD is requiring them to go to the office for the next 3 weeks 8:45 to 17:00.

This entails leaving home at 6:30am and returning home about 7:00pm with 900 miles driving a week and effectively a 65 hour week....

How should they proceed without things turning ugly. The MD is volatile on best days!

Should they just grin and bare it for 3 weeks? These terms are obviously malicious and I think this person is hoping the person is just going to walk away!

  • Hi Lyndsey.. Does your friend have a written agreement in place that reflects the hybrid working arrangement.. The written arrangement could be in a contract, an addendum or an email with a date that is the same or later than the contract is dated?. If not, it might well be in her favour to review the end date of her notice citing unreasonable behaviour for change.
