Document background
The Internal Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in South African employment practice, used when an organization wishes to promote or transfer an existing employee to a new position internally. This document serves as a formal amendment to the existing employment relationship and must comply with South African labor legislation, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Labour Relations Act, and Employment Equity Act. It typically includes details about the new role, changes in remuneration and benefits, revised responsibilities, and reporting structures. The letter should be issued after internal recruitment processes are completed and before the employee begins their new role, allowing time for acceptance and transition planning.
