Hi, I work for a privately owned company in Bangalore, which has branches all over Karnataka. I want to know whether a transfer order can be challenged, and also if we can ask the company for the reason for the transfer. Thanks

Transfer Clause in Appointment Letters

If the appointment letter states a clause of transfer, then the company holds the right to transfer an employee. A transfer order can be challenged, but in this case, the chances of winning are less if there is mention of a transfer clause in the appointment letter or if you can prove that the transfer is due to a form of punishment or victimization.

You can ask the company for the reason for the transfer, but generally, they can cite reasons like "exigencies of work." Check www.labourlawhub.com for more labor law issues.
