Document background
The Employee Transfer Letter is a crucial document used when an employee is being transferred to a different position, department, or location within the same organization in Austria. It serves as an official communication and legal record of the transfer, ensuring compliance with Austrian labor laws and regulations. The document typically includes essential information such as the new role details, effective date, any changes to terms and conditions, continuity of service confirmation, and relevant approvals. This letter is particularly important in the Austrian context as it must align with specific local employment law requirements, including works council consultation where necessary, and maintains the employee's existing rights while documenting any agreed changes to the employment relationship. The Employee Transfer Letter helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the transfer terms and conditions, while ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of the new arrangement.
