I’m on a six month contract within IR35 finishing next week. Have been onsite everyday. Couldn’t get into office today due to train cancellations. My manager saying that I have to take this as leave. I have a laptop, was logged in this morning remotely and working on some documentation.
Is this valid that they demand this?

You could always ignore the manager, work through the day, invoice for the day and then take them to court if the invoice is not paid in full.

And bill for the extra heating in the house, due to being at home unexpectedly in cold weather.

Why do people do work at home and then find out their client isn't happy. Why haven't they rung their client at 8am to advise they will WFH and then find out at that point they are not required to do any work?

Deciding to WFH without advising the client is pretty poor relationship management.

In fact, add an extra tenner for my advice and I'll bill you separately. For twenty, the old man will throw in a happy finish.
