Need a bit of advice please guys.
I work for a local coach company as a driver. A few weeks ago we started a deep cleaning regime in the nights to clean and disinfect coaches that have been out that day. I was given this duty for virtually a month, whilst other drivers were only getting two or 3 nights tops.
I was recently offered a position with a local bus company (much closer to home for me) so after some deliberation decided to take it and handed my notice in last week. I'm now halfway through my notice period (2 weeks).
THis week I have been programmed for another week of cleaning/disinfecting (surprise surprise). I have already once raised concerns with my line manager over the way the work is being shared out. Also now given the rise in the virus, the fact the coaches are often going to places with a high incidence of cases, and that I have vulnerable people in my family, would it be unreasonable of me to walk now citing the above reasons? If I did this are they allowed to withold any wages already due (I'm not owed any holiday so can't use any more). I'm not salaried, only get paid for hours worked, so technically wouldn't owe them anything, however could they put the days I miss down as holiday then dedct that from my final wage?
Thanks in advance
