Hi All
I work for one of the bigger fork truck companys in the uk as a mobile sevice engineer and this is in the latest contact of employment.
They want to stop paying us for the 1st half hour of travel in the morning and the last half hour in the afternoon.
They wont pay us for travel to courses which for me will be at least 4 hours unpaid driving
Over time will be aproved by our manager.

What i am asking is do over companys have a policy of taking away travel time and still charge the customer.
Depending how you look at it we will lose either 5 or 8.5 hours of pay a week.
