Law of services-----Transfer of employees.

      When we are in service, it is possible that we shall be posted at any station within the jurisdiction of that employer or that competent authority.   very few employee can raise objections against transfer order. 

               When we are given transfer order, we shall have to shift to the other station and that too within the joining time allowed to us and if we refuse to join at another station, we have committed a misconduct and the competent authority shall be initiating disciplinary proceedings against us.  We can get punishment provided under the rules.

             We can apply for our transfer from one station to another station on family grounds and the competent authority shall consider your case and if they find that your prayer is  right, they shall pass order for your transfer and in such cases you would not get joining time and expenses for your transportation.  Otherwise all employees who are transferred from one station to another, they get joining time and also traveling allowances.

                Transfers are often ordered on administrative grounds and while passing these orders, the competent authority also keep in mind instructions issued from time to time.  They often take into account the conditions of the employee.  If he or she is having a life partner who is also in service, they keep in mind that that they both should be retained at one station.  Similarly unmarried girls often get  stations where their parents are living or posted.  similarly some employees get such protections during their last years of service.  The people who are having ailing parents are also given some concession.  The states often issue policy decisions and those are operated upon by the all the authorities.

             It is also kept in mind that an employee should not be disturbed too often and he may be allowed to stay at one station and often they have fixed a period of three years and often employees are allowed to stay at one station for a period of three years of so;.

               Some organizations see that two people of a family are not kept at one station and in one office because such unions could create some disturbance in keeping discipline and often other employees raise objections that some favours are being done to a particular person related to the head of the office. 

                In spite of all law on the subject, if you have got some objections on your transfer, those shall be considered by the competent authority and if need be, they shall cancel order of transfer, but such a course is not available in all the cases.
