There is no obligation to pay employees who are unable to attend
work due to issue with public transport. Each situation will need
to be considered on its merits, but it may be that you can be
flexible over how to manage the absence rather than simply
requiring the employee to take leave.
In particular, if you offer agile working it may be that your
employee is able to work from another location with no impact on
their work.
If this is not possible, you could require the employee to make
up the time later or take the time as paid annual leave.
We recommend that you deal with this in your contract of
employment or handbook, so that both you and your employees know
exactly what your policies are in case of any problems getting back
to work after Christmas.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
