Document background
The Employee Transfer Request Letter is a crucial document in Austrian employment law, used when an employee or employer seeks to initiate an internal transfer within an organization. This document is essential for ensuring compliance with Austrian labor regulations while facilitating workforce mobility and career development. It should be used whenever an employee is being considered for a position change within the same company, whether initiated by the employee or the employer. The letter typically includes details about the current position, proposed new role, rationale for transfer, timeline, and any changes to employment terms. Under Austrian law, such transfers may require works council consultation and must comply with the Labour Constitutional Act and other relevant employment legislation. The document serves as both a formal request and, upon acceptance, a record of the agreed changes to the employment relationship.
