Document background
The Appraisal Transfer Letter is a crucial HR document used in Indian organizations when an employee is transferred to a new role or location following a performance review. This document type emerged from the need to formally document internal movements while maintaining compliance with Indian employment laws, including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act and various state-specific regulations. It serves multiple purposes: officially communicating the transfer decision, documenting performance-based role changes, specifying new terms of employment, and ensuring transparency in the transfer process. The letter typically follows a standardized format that includes essential details about the new role, revised compensation structure, reporting relationships, and effective dates, while also acknowledging the performance appraisal that led to the transfer decision.
