Abstract
The employment contract is one of the important contracts that receives the attention of legislators in general due to the status it enjoys within the framework of financial transactions, especially since it relates to the interest of a large group, which is the group of workers. Therefore, it must be surrounded by adequate guarantees that provide legal protection for the worker and that would prevent... Every assault on his rights by the employer, who is considered the dominant party in the contractual relationship, versus the worker, who is considered the weak party. Perhaps among those assaults that may affect the worker’s economic interest is the case of changing the worker’s job from one job to another that he did not expect at the time of the contract. Is he entitled to The employer or the employer may change the worker’s job at his will without referring to that worker, or may he change the work location from one place to another without justification, or is there a justification but this justification constitutes an assault on the worker’s right? Naturally, these matters require a serious stance from the legislator in establishing legal frameworks to prevent any assault on the worker’s rights. Likewise, basic and fundamental rules must be established to address cases of compensation owed to the worker in a way that guarantees compensation for the damage and compensation for the loss that befalls the worker as a result of the assault committed by the employer.
