Employee Transfer Dilemma: Is a New Appointment Letter Necessary After a Transfer?

We have transferred one of our employees to our sister concern company as per requirements, and a transfer letter has been issued.

Query Regarding Appointment Letter

However, my query is, do we need to issue him a new appointment letter from the company where he has been transferred, or is a transfer letter enough?

For a sister concern or an inter-company transfer, a transfer letter is sufficient. The employee code and date of joining (DOJ) will remain the same since the employee is only being transferred and not newly appointed. The employee dossier must be physically handed over to the transferred company.

Regards,

I would suggest you check the terms and conditions/obligations of employment of the sister company. In case of differences, you may have to issue a new appointment letter; otherwise, the transfer letter will remain valid.
