Question about employment and traveling.

[_Will_]

In discussion with future employer, he's never employed anyone before and is going through the process of getting advice and whatnot but I wouldnt mind knowing the answer to this in advance.

Now employers don't have to pay traveling time when commuting to a single place of work, but what if you have to travel all over the country for business (even if that means to and from if you get what I mean)

Can anyone clarify?

Normally in this subject, the employer pays for expence such as fuel and shit, you give them a receipt and all that jazz.

Take it your mate or new employer is a new business? If so i'd say get in touch with some advisor on how to go about the motions.

It wasn't something I asked when i did some business workshops and in hindsight i should of but it's in their best interest to do so or eventually you wont be earning much to substain your employment and will leave.

Claim it off your employer, IIRC its something like 40p per mile, thats for maintenance, tyres, oil petrol EVERYTHING. It is tax free to be reimbursed for this.

If your boss is particularly scummy he can pay you less at which you can claim it off your tax. But obviously you only get 30% of the difference.

TBH why not go into partnership or be disguised employee? As long as you can say no to work (pretend) and work for one or two other jonnies during the year. Then you can go self employed and abuse the hell out of your expenses.

If you don't have a normal place of work the time taken to get to work should be park of your normal working week. Therefore you should get paid for it.

Ah thanks for that Yam I was unaware of the tax relief for employees.

'Pies, Im currently contracting the odd job, but soon it will be risky with IR35 as I will be solely working for this company (I want salary, for security - he wants commitment and not to be splitting loyalties.

He is getting advice from the right avenues, it's just nice for me to be up on it in the meantime.

The first half an hour of travel isn't paid but any additional travel is just counted as work so paid at my normal hourly rate. I don't normally travel any further then about an hour from home. Any travel between jobs is paid. That's how it works for me. I've known other people that have been paid from the moment they leave the house to the moment they return and others that don't get paid for travel at all.
