The Internal Job Offer Letter is a crucial document used in German employment contexts when an existing employee is selected for a new position within the same organization, whether through promotion or lateral transfer. It formalizes the new employment terms while maintaining continuity of employment. The document must comply with German employment law requirements, particularly the Nachweisgesetz, which mandates written documentation of essential employment terms. The letter typically includes details about the new position, adjusted compensation, reporting relationships, and any changes to existing terms of employment. It serves multiple purposes: legal compliance, clear communication of new terms, and formal documentation of the internal mobility process. This document is particularly important in the German context where employment terms must be clearly documented and where works councils may need to be involved in internal transfers.
