But this wasn't about relocation - there are regular bus lines between her previous place of work and new one (it was basically an office outside of city and she then got moved to office inside of city, distance is less than 15KM by car) - it's just that she was hired to work in place A and she wasn't willing to travel, also she's not exactly an agreeable personality. Court ruled that she got hired in position A and that was in her work description and they couldn't change that without good cause (and they were doing office rotations I don't know exactly why)
Again, UK, but you can't just move an employee around willy-nilly. This could be construed as constructive dismissal.
You might know the employee can't relocate, and are trying to force them to quit so you don't have to pay redundancy pay.
