A Transfer Request Letter On Medical Grounds is a crucial document used in Nigerian professional settings when an employee needs to request a change in work location or department due to health-related concerns. This document is particularly relevant under Nigerian employment law, including the Labour Act and Employees Compensation Act 2010, which protect employees' rights to suitable working conditions. The letter should be used when medical conditions necessitate a change in work environment, location, or position, and must be supported by proper medical documentation. It typically includes the employee's current position details, specific medical grounds for transfer (while maintaining appropriate confidentiality), preferred transfer location, and supporting medical certificates. The document is especially important in the Nigerian public sector, where transfers must comply with Public Service Rules, but is equally applicable in private sector organizations with multiple locations or departments.
