I have been told by my employer to transfer another region in the Kingdom after three months for a new project. It will cause some problems for me because I need to change my kid’s schools and shift house hold articles. Can I object that direction?
Your employer has the right to transfer you to other region subject to the nature of work conditions. As per Article 58 of the Saudi Labour Law, an employer may not transfer the employee from his original workplace to another place that entails a change in his place of residence, if such transfer is likely to cause serious harm to the employee and is not justified by the nature of work.
if your transfer cause any serious harm, you can request to your employer to reconsider their decision.
