Can the employee refuse to move to another job location if asked by the employer?
Q: Hi, Good day! I just want to ask a question, My contract is unlimited and working with my company for 3 years already here in Dubai. My job is Office Assistant and the office I`m working with didn`t renew the contract from my company. Now, my company wants to send me to another Emirate which is Ras Al Khaimah. But I refused the offer because it very far and in my contract, it`s written “The second party shall work for the first party in the job/profession within the UAE (Emirate Name: Dubai). My question is do I have the right to refuse? And if my company terminates me, do I have the rights to get my benefits and gratuity? Thank you so much Sir/Ma`am! Questions & Answers
