Employee’s Rights – Transfer – Salary – Allowances
An employee requested the cancellation of a transfer order. This was rejected as the new post was in the same administration and the change had not impacted their salary or allowances.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company and requested the elementary authority for the settlement of labour disputes to dismiss the decision made by the company to transfer him to a new job.
The elementary authority rejected the case.
The employee appealed the ruling before the High Authority for the Settlement of Labour Disputes.
Decision
The high authority stated the transfer had taken place from one department to another department within the same administration and had not affected the employee's salary and other allowances.
The high authority upheld the elementary ruling.
