Employee Transfer – Employment lawyer
A transfer can significantly affect the workplace, duties, and personal life. I assess the contract, the employer’s direction rights, and response options.
For Employee Transfer, these points are especially important:
- ›Duties, workplace, and transfer clauses determine the contractual scope.
- ›Business reasons and personal burdens must be balanced appropriately.
- ›If direction rights are insufficient, a contractual change cannot simply be imposed as a transfer.
- ›Additional participation rights may apply in co-determined businesses.
The first step is to clarify: Whether contract and direction rights cover the change of workplace or duties and whether interests were fairly balanced.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
