But I don’t want to go!!
One legal issue that rarely gets mentioned is what happens
if a company decides to re-locate. Many contracts of
employment include mobility clauses which effectively force
employees to move, leave or face dismissal. While these
clauses are perfectly legal, should an employee choose to
leave as a result of the move it may not just be a simple
case of dismissal or dealing with a resignation, and if an
employee flatly refuses to move, you may have to acknowledge
they’re redundant and pay redundancy or you may find
yourself at the wrong end of an unfair dismissal claim.
