Amey Homeworking Survey

Some members employed by Amey receive allowances to compensate them for costs relating to homeworking. These were negotiated locally or with previous employers that transferred staff to Amey, such as Atkins, without a clear basis for calculating their value.

In the absence of a national agreement with Amey, the company initially refused to pay any allowance to staff who become home workers following office closures, citing additional flexibility and reduced commuting costs as advantages that outweigh any additional expenditure.

After initial opposition, TSSA negotiators have persuaded Amey management to negotiate a homeworking allowance with our union. In the absence of consistent or reliable evidence for a members' increased costs resulting from homeworking, Amey have proposed to offer £18 per month to homeworkers. 

To get a good deal for members, your union negotiators need your help to understand how this offer compares to members' net cost of homeworking and to any allowances that are already being paid to members.

Please complete this survey to share your experiences and expectations to help your reps to negotiate a good outcome for homeworkers. We have agreed in principle that evidence of increased costs may lead to an increased allowance being offered to homeworkers.
