UK snowstorms disrupt travel, close schools, and affect work, with no legal pay for absent workers.

UK snowstorms have led to school closures and travel disruptions, affecting millions of workers. Employers aren't legally required to pay staff who can't get to work due to the weather. However, if workplaces close, employees should still get paid. Workers can take unpaid leave to care for children whose schools are closed. Employers are advised to be flexible, allowing time off as annual leave or remote work.
