Document background
The Job Transfer Offer Letter is a crucial document used when an organization wishes to formally offer an existing employee a different position or location within the company while maintaining their continuous employment. This document is commonly used in situations involving internal promotions, lateral moves, relocations, or organizational restructuring. It needs to comply with New Zealand employment legislation, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000 and related employment laws. The letter typically includes details about the new role, changes to terms and conditions, effective date of transfer, any changes to compensation and benefits, and support provided for the transition. It serves as an official modification to the existing employment relationship and requires formal acceptance by the employee. The document is designed to provide clarity and certainty for both parties while ensuring the transfer process is handled professionally and in accordance with legal requirements.
