SCSLD 431/1/283/2010

This case involved a request by an employee for a decision to transfer them to another branch to be overturned. This was rejected as the employee's contract included a term that they could be transferred and the company had agreed to provide them housing and transport expenses.

Background

An employee filed a case against a company and requested the elementary authority for the settlement of labour disputes to order the company to dismiss a transfer decision.

The elementary authority ruled that the company should dismiss the transfer decision.

The company appealed the ruling before the High Authority for the Settlement of Labour Disputes.

Decision

he high authority stated the agreed contract between the two parties stipulated that the company had the right to transfer the employee to another branch if needed. The high authority stated the company had said that the employee would not be affected by the decision as the company would provide them with housing and cover transportation expenses.

The high authority abandoned the elementary ruling and rejected the case.
