Company Expenses Query

[jamesfranklyn]

Hi,

Could someone explain if this is allowed/legal?

I work in sales/account management for a London based company with roughly 100 staff.

I am based in the same building 5 days a week. I occassionally (maybe once per week) have to go out to visit clients for account management meetings.

I have been advised by my employer that it is company policy that anything in London zone 1-2 is not claimable on expenses as its considered everyones 'normal place of work'. So I am having to pay for public transport travel to the clients offices out of my own pocket (I live walking distance from my employer, so I dont have a travelcard.)

Could anyone explain to me if this is legal and acceptable? Have I got any rights here?

Also, this policy is not in my employment contract and I wasnt told about this policy or shown any documentation on this until today.

Thanks in advance

James
