My partner worked all last year (sept to june) as a teacher, about 1OO miles from home. He had a fulltime consisting of 12 hours teaching and 12 students to follow-up whilst on out of school workplacements. This requires a visit per workplace, per student, per week.
The students were placed all over the country and my partner was pretty much forced to take the car.
However the school refuses to repay any fuel costs. They admit it's impossible to do the job otherwise but he could have just got a hotel (which they also would not reimburse)
This month my partner has had his fuel bill which has left him with 1/4 of his wage. I've had to step in to pay initial bills and this has now left me with less than half a paycheck to feed us both for a month and still three bills coming.
Is there anything he can do, surely it's not acceptable for an employer to leave an employee with such enormous costs that the job is simply not profitable?
