Document background
The Letter of Intent to Relocate is a crucial preliminary document used in Nigerian business practice when an organization plans to transfer an employee to a different work location. This document serves as the first formal step in the relocation process, typically issued before the final relocation agreement. It's designed to comply with Nigerian employment law requirements and provides essential information about the proposed move, including the new location, timeline, any changes to employment terms, and available relocation support. The letter helps ensure transparency and clear communication between employer and employee, while setting expectations and outlining next steps. It's particularly important in Nigeria's business environment where companies often need to relocate staff between different states or from urban to rural areas, especially in sectors like oil and gas, manufacturing, and financial services.
