Relocation in employment law covers moving an employee from one workplace to another, typically within the same employer or to a related business, and the accompanying terms such as relocation expenses, new start dates, temporary accommodation, and changes to duties or location-based benefits. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates relocation agreements, reviews mobility clauses, and advises on how the move affects pay, benefits, and rights. They also help manage communications with the employee, oversee adherence to necessary notices, and address any disputes or risk to retention.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A relocation involves specific clauses—such as where the employee will work, whether expenses are payable, and how benefits change with the move. The solicitor edits or drafts the relocation agreement, negotiates terms with the employer and employee, and checks for compliance with employment rights, restrictive covenants, and any pension or benefits implications.
