Document background
The Employment Transfer Letter is a essential document used in German business operations when an employee's contract needs to be transferred between legal entities, whether due to corporate restructuring, merger, acquisition, or internal reorganization. It must comply with strict German labor law requirements, particularly §613a BGB, which protects employees during business transfers. The document needs to include specific information about the reason for transfer, its legal and economic implications, and the continuation of employment terms. It must also inform employees about their right to object to the transfer. This letter serves multiple purposes: it fulfills legal notification requirements, provides transparency to employees, and documents the transfer process. The document is particularly important in Germany's employee-protective legal framework, where proper documentation and communication of employment changes are crucial for legal compliance.
