What are my rights with employer after car accident?
It is not unreasonable or illegal to change the duties of your job after a crash, which you were responsible for, and he is within his rights to expect you to pay. He does have to consult you about changes to your job. However if he was a decent employer, he would meet the costs of any repairs that are not covered by the insurance through his transport budget. Expecting you to take a pay cut and making you work on site for 12 months, seems harsh. I’d look for another job. And tell him where he can stick his job.
