General Travel Expenses

Post by mattandbenny »

So this is a shot in the dark as somebody (possibly wrongly) mentioned to me that i may be entitled to travel expenses.

Basically i have been working here 5 months and every day i have a 24 mile round trip - takes me roughly 45 mins each way depending on traffic. /So i just wondered if i am entitled to travel expenses or not - a colleague said it is worth looking into as i live so far away from work. Plus i do not work at the office that i interviewed for - i interviewed for one office but when i got the contract through they had moved me to another office further away.

So 2 questions...

1) Am i entitled to travel expenses?
2) If yes, can they be back dated to when i started?

Sorry no.

You can only claim mileage when working at another office. You can't claim it for your contracting office.

Just to confirm as the wording is dubious.

Are you working at the office you have signed a contract to daily ?
