Balancing Family and Job Transfers: How Would You Handle This Dilemma?

Members may kindly enlighten me on this issue.

The appointment order of our organization states that employees have all India service liability. One employee (a technician) was required to be transferred from Panipat to Bhilwara where there is a requirement for his services. He pleads that he should not be transferred because his wife is working in Panipat itself and she cannot get a transfer. Additionally, he has two school-going children. However, his transfer cannot be dispensed with.

It has to be decided on compassionate grounds. If he is required there urgently, you can consider deputing him for a short period and he can be sent again if required, so that he may not feel dislocated from his family.
