Hi, hope somebody can give me advice on travel expenses?
Basically, I work for an NHS Trust which covers 4 hospitals.
Until August 2014, I worked in one of the 4 hospitals which was close to home.
I was asked by my manager if I would be ok to work briefly at another site (same role) to cover annual leave/staff shortage until they had a date for a replacement to start.
I was informed I'd be there about 3 weeks, possibly a month. This other site is a 10 mile trip each way.
When I started at the other site, I asked if I could claim travel expenses, but was informed that as I was only there temporarily, I couldn't make a claim. Fair enough. Only, I'm still there.
The person replacing me did not materialise. I am happy there, happy to stay on, but still on a temporary basis as we are due a reconfiguration (Health Records) very soon.
I decided to see if I could again apply for expenses, as a few months have passed, but according to the conditions, I can only claim if I was sent there against my will/Trust reorganisation. I agreed to go, I had a choice, but thought it was only for a few weeks. Is it worth persuing, or wait to see what happens after reconfiguration? Is there a certain amount of time passes that they would have to pay me expenses, I hate mithering management as they are busy and its a much bigger hospital. MTIA
