    Nope. It’s part of being a responsible adult. Your employer has every right to move his company for whatever reason he wishes. It’s your responsibility to get to work.

    If it’s that bad, find another job.

    There’s really nothing you can do about them moving. You legal right is to find transportation or find another job.

    Unless your contract states a particular place of employment, then no they are under no legal obligation to help, though a reasonable employer who wished to keep you as an employee might negotiate some small allowances, like flexibility over starting/finishing times.

    Unless he has a contractual obligation, which is unlikely then no, none at all. Getting to work is up to you.

    No, they are not.

    However, some employers reimburse commuter costs. You should ask to see if they can or if a carpool is possible. Perhaps even invest in a bicycle.

    Your rights are limited to not being fired for your race or gender and the provisions of your employment contract.

    Drop the sense of entitlement and problem solve.
    Look at this as a perfect opportunity to get a subscription to the Wall Street Journal so that you have something educational to read on the way to work.

    It is solely your responsibility to get to work.

    If it is more than 50 miles further away, in some states, you might be eligible for unemployment, if you cannot make it to work. I’d research this before I quit, however.

    You have the right to remain silent,but do you have the ability?
    Just another example of our free enterprise system that screws the employee at will.

    You have the right to buy a car so you don’t have to take public transportation.
    You have the right to get up earlier and take an early bus to get to work on time.
    You have the right to quit your job and get another or become a couch potato.
    As far as your employer helping you with getting to work you have no right you don’t even have the right to work for him that is a privilege that he has extended to you.
    In these times of high unemployment you better suck it up and get to work on time.

    Give thanks that you have a job, the way things are these days, if you had to walk 3-4 miles like in the old days you might have something to moan about.

    Nope they are under no obligation whatsoever to assist you.
    If you don’t want to travel then resign.

    Check your contract. Check out specifically the ‘usual place of work’ clause.
    If that is your old offices, you can claim redundancy.
    But that means leaving your employment.

    The otehr answers are correct regarding the non-entitlement to expenses. The employer has no control over where employees live.
