Document background
The Department Transfer Letter is a crucial document used in New Zealand workplaces when an employee moves between departments within the same organization. This document, governed by New Zealand employment law including the Employment Relations Act 2000, serves multiple purposes: it officially confirms the transfer, details the new role and department, specifies any changes to employment terms, and ensures compliance with legal requirements. The letter is typically issued after internal discussions and agreements have been reached, and before the actual transfer takes place. It provides clear documentation of the change in employment circumstances while maintaining continuity of employment. The Department Transfer Letter should be drafted with careful attention to both legal compliance and clarity, as it forms part of the employee's permanent employment record.
