Here is an example of a policy in a Texas company I work for.

When requesting for a lateral transfer to another department, an employee should give a minimum of 2 weeks notice, but time of transfer is in effect as department MANAGER decides. Your manager has the power to tie you up in his department for as long as he wants. Think that's fair? who will intervene in your behalf? In Texas, employers has absolute power and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely. If you are an employer, come to Texas but if you are an employee, go else where. I still recall up until 4 years ago, my employer required us to work a mandatory 84 hrs in two weeks without overtime pay, Fair? you tell me....
