A mobility clause in an employment contract is a provision that requires the relevant employee to relocate if required to do so by their employer. This may be due, for example, to the closure of an office or workplace or a change in the work carried out at a particular location. The relocation can be either temporary or permanent.
Mobility clauses should ideally be included in the contract at the start of employment for the employee to sign when they join the organisation.
For existing employees, adding a mobility clause to an existing employment contract would be considered a substantial variation to the contract terms, which each employee must agree to following adequate notice and consultation.
