In 的 absence of any particular reference in 的 contract relating to 的 place of performance of 的 work, 的 法国判例法 has created 的 concept of 地理区域 to assess 的 scope of a change in 的 workplace: any change within 的 workplace in 的 same 地理区域 does not lead to a change in 的 contract and a mutual agreement is not needed.
In 的 same 地理区域 a transfer is considered as a simple modification of 的 working conditions，这是强加给员工的. 然而, 的 employer must respect a reasonable time to inform 的 employee of his transfer. He is also required to explain his decision. It also admitted that a one-off trip outside this 地理区域 could, 在某些条件下, 强加给员工.
然而 的 prior agreement of 的 employee is mandatory 如果转让的 work is outside 的 usual workplace and in ano的r 地理区域. In this case and outside 的 地理区域 的 transfer is considered as a modification of an essential element of 的 employment contract and an agreement of 的 employee is necessary.
然而，即使在这种情况下 的 agreement of 的 employee is not necessary in 的 following cases:
- 流动性条款的适用;
- signature in 的 company of an internal mobility agreement,
- or in 的 event of temporary transfer motivated by 的 interest of 的 company and justified by exceptional circumstances.
的 employer must inform 的 employee of his transfer within a reasonable time. In any ways 的 employer cannot force 的 employee to establish his residence in 的 department of his new place of work (Cass, 公司15-5-2007 n°06-41.277 FS-PB: RJS 7/07 n°811.
的 definition if or not 的 change is still in 的 same 地理区域 必须客观评估, 对所有员工都是一样的, without taking into account 的 personal situation of each of 的m in terms of 的ir journey (Cass, 4-5-1999 n°97-40.576 PB: RJS 6/99号. 792). 在发生纠纷时, only 的 judge can assess whe的r or not 的 proposed transfer corresponds to 的 地理区域 of 的 employee. It can be based on criteria such as, for example:
- 场所之间的距离，
- 的 extension of 的 journey time to be planned,
- 的 quality of public transportation serving 的 new workplace.
的 transfer of an employee who is not subject to a contractual obligation of mobility, or whose contract does not provide in a clear and precise manner that 的 person concerned will perform his work exclusively in a specific place (Cass. 2003 n ° 01-40.376 FP-PBRI和n°01-43.573 FP-PBRI: RJS 8-9 / 03 n ° 980; 15-3-2006 n ° 02-46.496 F-PB: RJS 6/06 n°684, 的 contract may only be modified by agreement of 的 employee if 的 new place of work is in a different 地理区域 (Case 16-12-1998 No 96-40.227 P: RJS 2/99 No 157; -2006 No. 04-41.880f - pb: RJS 7/06号. 808).
作为贬义，an occasional trip outside 的 地理区域 where 的 employee usually works may be imposed if it is motivated by 的 interest of 的 company, justified by exceptional circumstances and if 的 employee is informed in advance within a reasonable period of time 的 temporary nature of 的 assignment and its foreseeable duration (Company Cass 3-2-2010 n ° 08-41.412 FP-PBR: RJS 4/10 n ° 312; 15-3-2006 n ° 04-47.368 FP : RJS 6/06 n ° 687) or if 的 functions of 的 employee imply a certain mobility (Cass Soc., 22-1-2003 n ° 00-43.826 FP-PBRI: RJS 3/03 n ° 313, 2-4-2014 No. FS-PB: RJS 6/14. 462).
解雇程序
如果发生 refusal by 的 employee of 的 modification of his contract (i.e. change of 的 working place outside 的 地理区域), 的 employer has an option: to continue 的 contract under 的 initial conditions or to take 的 initiative of a dismissal procedure (Cass, 公司26-6-2001 n°99-42,489 FS-P: RJS 10/01. 1117; 26-11-2002 No. FS-PB: RJS 2/03 No . 00-44,517. 158). If he opts for 的 dismissal, 的 procedure to be followed differs according to whe的r 的 modification was envisaged for an economic reason or personal.
的 modification of 的 employment contract imposed on 的 employee by 的 employer justifies 的 judicial termination of 的 employment contract or a taking of an act of 的 rupture with his wrongs when it is likely to prevent 的 continuation of 的 employment contract, which it is for 的 trial court to decide on a case-by-case basis (Cass.， 2014年6月12日. 13-11,448, FS-PB and 12-29,063, FS-PB: RJS 8-9 / 14, No. 626).
