They should work in the snow if they're outside workers. It's never stopped me unless I couldn't get to work.

If they aren't getting paid then they must be self employed. If there's no work for them then they should sign on the dole or look for another job.

It probably sound a bit harsh that tbh nics, but then again self employed people get a lot of perks too. I'm not sure they can do much tbh apart from sign on and either ride it out, or find a better employer that pays even when they're off. Sounds like they've either got a shit of a boss, or that he's struggling for new contracts and this weather has come as a godsend to him.

well they are outside workers who do drives gates fencing etc

there is the work their for them but the boss has said they cant work due to the weather.......but the lads have said that they can do most of the work!!

so its not their fault they have been told to stay at home so why should they lose wages??

acas said that if the employer has sent them home then they should still pay wages

but then rang again and they said to read their contracts and it should say in that whether they get paid or not:confused: but the thing is it doesnt say anything of the sort if they do or if they dont so its confusing??
