Workplaces which are prevented from being temporary workplaces

3.17

There are a number of circumstances where, even though the employee attends a workplace to perform a task of limited duration or for some other temporary purpose, it will still be a permanent workplace. This will be the case where the 24 month or fixed term appointment rules apply or where the workplace is a depot or base.

Also, where the workplace is defined by reference to an area, we may treat that area as a permanent workplace. These rules are explained in paragraphs 3.18 to 3.35.
