Document background
The Transfer Letter To Another Branch is a crucial document used when an employee is being relocated within the same organization to a different branch location in Germany. It serves as the official written confirmation of the transfer decision and its terms, ensuring compliance with German labor law requirements, particularly under the German Civil Code (BGB) and Works Constitution Act. This document is essential for maintaining clear communication and legal documentation of workplace changes while preserving employee rights and existing employment conditions. It typically includes specific details about the new position, location, reporting structure, and any associated changes or benefits, while ensuring all modifications comply with German employment regulations and any applicable collective agreements. The letter should be issued well in advance of the transfer date to allow for proper preparation and any necessary consultations with works councils where required under German law.
