I am a federal employee relocating to another state can i break my lease with no hassel?
No. A lease is a contract. Contracts are binding in all cases unless there is something illegal or totally unconscionable in them. Military members often put in a "military clause" that says if they get orders to move, they can give 30 days notice and move, thus ending the contract. If you are a federal employee and there is no such clause in the lease, then you have to comply with the lease. That means you have to give 30 days notice. The landlord must make a good faith effort to lease the apartment to someone else. Lets say you move out and 15 days after you move out, someone else moves in. The landlord is only out 15 days of rent so that is what you have to pay him for breaking the lease. On the other hand, if he can not rent it for the entire term of the lease, you will have to pay him for the entire term of the lease. One possibility is you can sublet the apartment. Lets say the rent is $1000 a month. You list it as $900. Someone wants it at that price so they pay $900 and you pay the other $100. That at least is better than you having to pay the entire lease. Next time make sure you get a moving clause in there so if you get told you have to move again you can get out of the lease.
If your employer wants you to relocate to another country, and you refuse, can you be fired for that?
Generally, without an employment agreement or a union contract, employment is at-will - i.e., either party can terminate the relationship at any time for any (non-discriminatory) reason or no reason.So, although I cannot be certain because you have not provided information about the employment setting, it probably is the case that your employer can terminate your employment for refusing to relocate.Disclaimer: This information does not constitute legal advice and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
I have broken my employment contract and my boss has approached an attorney for further actions. What shall I do ?
I can’t say and I couldn’t advise. You should probably approach an attorney of your own. As an employee there should be many people who are happy to help you.In some places it would be impossible for an employer to enforce an employment contract to take money back from an employee for any reason, particularly a contract signed after employment began. In other jurisdictions that might be allowed. If your reason for resigning was your fault, or to seek a better opportunity, that might factor in (some places). If it was because the job was unsuitable or your employer did something wrong, that could be a factor too.So the best advice is to seek a lawyer wherever you are, who knows the local laws. But also, on a personal level, try to figure out why your employer is upset enough to do this. Did you hurt them badly? Betray them? Are they vindictive? Did you take their money and now you’re going to run with it? Was there some other issue? Most of the time, if an employment situation doesn’t work out, both sides are better served by ending it sooner rather than later. It’s like a bad date. It might feel bad that the other person said no after the first time, but usually that’s the right decision for both parties. If this is a mutual decision, dealing with this on a practical, human, business level is a lot more efficient than going legal.For what it’s worth, I wrote this answer before reading your employment contact. In most places in the United States I doubt that contract would be fully enforceable, but I can’t say for sure.
If my employment contract with an investment bank doesn't mention restrictions on publication in academic journals, should I inquire about it?
Sounds like you haven't started. Ask them and try to get a clear agreement that you can do so and they won't change the rules down the line. If you have the leverage to get that put in your contract then get it, but even if not it doesn't hurt to try. If you can explain why you want this it could even be a positive thing for now they see you. But you need to address their natural concerns about confidentiality of ideas relating to their business and that your academic work won't be a distraction. You have to judge whether to go via the business or HR. The business has more power and, even today, can tell HR to make it happen. But they have many other things to do and won't like doing so so much if you're not a senior hire or they don't really love you.
Can I resign before the end of a 2-year employment contract in Dubai?
Why don’t you resign during the probation period instead? If you want to complete your probation period and want to resign after that, you very well can do it.If your contract states “Open Ended” then it is not a 2 year limited contract. The company legally cannot ask you to pay any recruitment charges since it is against the law. When you resign, there is an automatic ban of 6 months imposed by MOHRE on you. However, if you are at least a graduate with a minimum salary of AED 12,000 you can go and get the ban lifted.The company is not allowed to deduct any of the following since you are resigning before 2 years:Hiring cost - paid to any recruitment agencyVisa costAny other costs incurred while processing your work permitThat being said, if the company has paid for your relocation, they have all the rights to deduct it from your final settlement.Hope it helps! :)
Can my employer force me to relocate to the same job but a different city?
He basically told me that if i don't transfer, then i would be fired. is that legal? YES it is legal for the employer to do that................... IF you decide to not take the position you will qualify for unemployment insurance under a "significant" change in your employment. they will probably lay you off under this circumstance but even if you quit you would still qualify because of the significant change in location.

There is this section in Google contract that upon termination before 12 months of employment, the employee should repay relocation fees. Is there a way to get rid of this when negotiating with the recruiter before accepting the offer?
You can try to negotiate but you will almost surely fail unless you are such a unique talent that the matter will be escalated very far up the line of management.You should be aware that bringing up the matter begs the question “Why do you not expect to be with the company for a year?” Whether you still have an offer will almost surely depend on your answer to that question.
Trying to terminate my lease early, help with contract meaning?
Hello! I’m trying to get out of my lease early; I have accepted a job out of town and my current roommates would also like to move out. I want to make sure I complete understand what the lease means before approaching my landlord Early termination clause: if resident finds it necessary to terminate this agreement proper to its expiration date or for reasons other than provided by law, then resident by law may use the following procedure: (a) resident will give owner written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the next rent payment due date; (b) pay rent to the cancellation date selected; (c) deliver keys the day of move-out; (d) pay in addition to the foregoing, an amount equal to amount per lease prior to move-out; (e) pay a re-rental fee of $100. And (f) leave the premises in the same condition required as if resident was vacating the premises upon the expiration of the term of the rental agreement as set forth in section 11 below. I under it all but part (d)... is it stating I must pay rent until someone is able to release the place? My landlord said that would be the case if I want to terminate the lease but I don’t see how it’s my responsibility to find someone new if i want to leave! thanks!
I'm going to breach a relocation agreement with my Fortune 100 employer. Will they pursue me for payment?
It cannot be precisely said, without referring to the agreement.However, you can take a legal opinion and opt out of the agreement if there is such a clause.In most of such cases, there is a possibility of Company making the life of ex-employee miserable by filing civil suits. (Once again, it is a matter of terms of the agreement). Irrespective of whether you pay the money or not, the advocates of the Company do their job of harassing you, legally.Please note that, such agreements are made with a genuine intention of retaining the capable people and people in key positions. It is unlikely that they give differential treatment to you.Lastly, if you already have an offer in some other organization, check if they will take the cost of compensation you need to pay.
