He wants to transfer to get away from his ravenous ***** boss, and she will cut his pay and take his ESOP away to spite him.

Why wouldn't it be legal? He wants to get a different job with the same company...they have the right to pay him what they would normally pay somebody in that same position. If your fiance wants to keep his salary and ESOP, he should not transfer to another position.

You work for your employer, not the other way around.

Unless he has the protection of an employment contract, the employer has authority to designate pay for each position. The employee is paid, not for being an employee, in which case the employee's salary would follow him no matter what position he took. The employee is paid to perform a job, and not all jobs are equally valued by the company.

Yes it is. It's his option to transfer and the company is under no obligation to make that transfer or give him what he was earning in salary and/or benefits.

And all workers of a classification would desire to be taken care of an identical way concerning to many stuff, which incorporates advantages. And ESOP is a earnings. So if he's categorised and all workers of that classification have ESOP and he's moving to a distinctive place in that very same classification, it particularly is a difficulty for the corporate. If he's changing to a distinctive classification that's no longer eligible for advantages, then that's totally probable legal, and certainty.

Of course it is. Different job different pay and benefits.
