Dear sir,
Yes, services of an employee can be transferred if there is a transfer clause in the Appointment letter or as per conditions mentioned in certified standing orders. Please note that provisions of applicable standing orders are to be interpreted with respect to categories of employees classified therein. Standing orders are not for employees in management staff. Also, the terms as mentioned in the Appointment letter shall prevail over the provisions of Standing orders.
So, it would be undisputed if the transfer clause is well signed off while issuing employees the Appointment Letter.
Regds,
