8.2.13

Closure of the majority of the DWP Norcross site

We are aware that there may have been some rumours going around regards “semi colons” in the mobility clauses for mobile grades (please note that they are mobile grades not “fully mobile grades as the employer has made up).

The following is the actual wording:

“Employees are classed as having mobile status if they are:
  • A fixed term appointee whose appointment letter includes a mobility clause
  • A permanent appointment in Bands C to G (EO – G6) and their equivalents
Employees with mobile status can be compulsorily permanently transferred to any Civil Service post in the UK, and can be asked to travel to a post within reasonable daily travelling distance of their home. Reasonable travelling time is defined as 1 ½ hours from home to office by public transport.”

There isn't a semi colon in the paragraph, there is a comma and "and".

This means take a pause and plus.
