The Authority of the Employer to Modify the Employment Contract in light of the Judicial Work

Abstract

The employment contract, like any other contract, is subject to the application of general rules, which prevent a party from amending the contract unilaterally. However, as the circumstances surrounding the formation of the contract may change, the employer may need to amend the contract to protect their enterprise. Therefore, there must be a means to grant the employer such a right without colliding with the applicable general rules.

The importance of This study lies in identifying the limits of the employer's right to amend the contract unilaterally without sacrificing the employee's rights through distinguishing between material and immaterial amendments and the base under which the employer may rely to effectuate such rights of amendments. The study also highlights the most important applications of the employer right to amend the contract unilaterally and their legal consequences.
