A worker has to work at any place as directed by the Employer

Transfer is the part and parcel of employment. Transfer refers to change in job that involve little or not change in status, pay or responsibility. The object of transfer is to increase the effectiveness of the organisation, its profitability and its service. If transfers are done for improving the functioning, then it is most welcome, but If it is done with ill-intentions or for punishment, then it certainly causes dispute and frustration as well. The right of employer to transfer his employee is inherent and implicit in the contract of employment. An employer is the best judge to know the capacity of his employees. He also knows well, where and when the capacities of any employee could best be utilised. As per the rules, an employer has the right to transfer the employee from one place to another. Non-compliance of the transfer order by the employee amounts to misconduct. The right of an employer to transfer his employee from one station to another though within the discretion of the employer is always subject to the condition that the terms of contract of employment of an employee are not adversely affected.
