Document background
The Internal Transfer Letter To Employee is a crucial document in German employment practice, used when an employee moves to a different role or department within the same organization. It serves as an official record of the transfer and modifications to the employment relationship, ensuring compliance with German labor law requirements, particularly the Notification Act (Nachweisgesetz) and Works Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz). This document should be used whenever an employee's role, reporting structure, or working conditions change within the organization, even if they remain with the same legal entity. It typically includes details about the new position, department, reporting relationships, any changes to terms and conditions, and the effective date of the transfer. The letter forms part of the employee's personnel file and serves as a legal reference point for the modified employment relationship.
