Away for Work Pay

[Elmo230885]

I just wondering if people get paid extra if they are asked to work elsewhere and this would require an overnight stay?

A regular job where being away isn't the norm and very rarely happens. It's a one off to help a new branch set up. 3 days/2 nights weekdays.

DH has been asked to go help set up a new branch so would be away from home, makes it a bit awkward as we aren't set up for either of us to be away with school drip offs/ picks ups. He does most pick ups but it can be sorted. I asked if he would get time off in leui or if he'd get extra hours/overnight payment and he looked at me like I had two heads!

FWIW on the occasions I've had to be away e.g. for training I've always been able to claim extra pay either as hours paid or overnight payment being away from home. Just wondering what is the norm?

I get expenses paid and TOIL if i end up travelling or working outside of normal work hours.

I don't get paid any "inconvenience" money and i've never heard of it before either

I just get expenses (within reason/policy of course) i.e. travel, food, hotel. Never had TOIL or an extra payment in 20+ years of jobs where travel wasn't part of my contract(s) but would happen sometimes occasionally, sometimes frequently. Lots of early starts (or even weekend before travel) and late finishes. It's just par for the course. Quite a few parents (usually men!) I worked with liked having a few nights working away and staying in a hotel as it meant they got to escape 'domestic/child duties' at home.

Never had an additional payment and our expenses allowance is pretty poor too!

No but you could claim time off for your travel time
