Document background
The Internal Transfer Letter is a crucial document in Malaysian corporate practice, used when an employee moves to a different position or department within the same organization. It forms part of the employee's formal employment record and must comply with Malaysian employment legislation, particularly the Employment Act 1955 and related regulations. This document is typically issued after internal transfer discussions have been concluded and approvals obtained from relevant stakeholders. The letter should comprehensively capture changes in position, responsibilities, reporting structure, compensation, and other employment terms while ensuring continuity of employment. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the transfer decision, clarifying new terms of employment, maintaining legal compliance, and providing a reference point for both the employee and the organization regarding the transfer arrangements.
