Thanks, got it. But, your second example pretty much sums it up. I know for a fact I will be working between two sites for at least a couple of years with a third and maybe a fourth added in the foreseeable future.

I guess before it gets to that point my job and salary will change to allow for the use of my personal car for work travel.

Good to know in advance as the subject will be raised soon and I don't think anyone is aware of this.
Those rules are what I was thinking of.

For "stuffed" I was thinking your employer could just decide that the distant location is your base so you wouldn't get any expenses. They'd think they were doing you a favour allowing you to work nearer home a couple of days per week.

Could happen, but tbh, if it got like that they know I would be out the door pretty sharpish. The concept of expanding my role across multiple sites was discussed at interview it's just taken a little longer than anticipated. At the moment a lot of staff do work between sites but only one or two days max. a week at their second location. That may change as other sites come online though. In theory I could reduce time at the second site if I wanted, I'm the one writing the timetable (at the moment).

All good info. Thanks all.
