When a company relocates their office in England, under employment laws the employer and employee must undergo a 12-week process called a consultation period. The main component of this is for the employee to visit the new location so that they are able to evaluate the affect on their working conditions and travel situation. So, today, Steve (my boss), Christine, Simon, Ilyas and I (the accounts team) made the journey over to the new location in Enfield.
After a leisurely walk through the building, the biggest issue was where the accounts department were to be located in the new set-up. The journey also received one or two complaints as well. Fortunately, when we arrived back in Hertford, the issue of the accounts office was raised with senior staff and it was agreed to move the department to a better location. As for the travel, that will be what it will be.
I ended the day feeling pleased that I had somehow been able to not only complete my week's work in four days, but had also been able to deal with the cash for November that Steve wanted and sorted out the first payment run since Lina had left last month. Unfortunately, I left for the Christmas break with one issue still to be resolved regarding the company's relocation in the New Year.
