Know your rights on a snow day and if you can get paid if you're snowed in ❄️

Your boss can't force you to travel if it's dangerous, but they usually don't have to pay you either.And if not you could be asked to take unpaid leave, annual leave or to make up the hours another time.Employers have different rules, so make sure you check your office handbook and contract to see what the extreme weather policy is.

They shouldn't be able to make you take holiday either, as employers typically have to give you at least two days' notice before they can force you to take annual leave. In a nutshell - if you're ready, willing and available to work, but can't because of a problem that's caused by your employer, they usually have to pay you in full.Employers also have a legal requirement to provide a reasonable level of comfort without the need for special clothing.
