Background, when we went into lockdown last March like a lot of people were sent to work from home, work then sold the office last year and we will never be going back to an office.
My Internet has broken due to workmen in the road cutting something, rang Internet provider they said they are aware and are waiting for open reach to come fix it, they have no idea when this will be hopefully tomorrow could be Wednesday. I literally cant work with no Internet as everything we do is cloud based. Our computers are clap and not wifi enabled so I can't even hotspot from my phone. Also on a previous occasion (before the office closed and we had an Internet issue in the office) we tried wireless dongles and even those aren't compatible with the stone age computers.
I work full time 8-5 m-f and work are saying I have to either make the time up or take it with no pay, I cant afford to take it with no pay and not sure how exactly I'm meant to make a full day (or even 2 or 3) when I already work full time?
Can they legally do this? It's not my fault the Internet broke, I can prove the Internet has broken and its not my fault their equipment is too old to be wifi enabled. There is nowhere else for me to work.
Thank you for reading any advice is greatly appreciated, I tried having a Google but couldn't find anything concrete.
