Transfer Clause In Offer Letter

RajeswaryHRExecutive
Hi All,
I need your help, i have joined a new company and there is no "transfer" clause in the offer letter. The company is in the midst of transferring the staff's to another entity. The same company but a different registration name.
anyone has any idea to draft the *transfer clause* into the offer letter?
Thank you.

You may insert the clause as below and may be modified to suit your requirements.
"Your intial posting will be with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(Co.) & xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(Location). However, during employment with the Company, you may be posted/transferred to any of the Offices/Divisions/Departmentments/Associated Units of the Company existing or to be set up at any other location, without any additional remuneration."

Hi Rajeswary,
Please find the below clause, modify as per your requirement.
Your initial place of posting is Bangalore. However, depending upon the requirements of company’s business, the company can transfer you to any other location.

Most of the members has contributed their views, I would like to add only one thing that Transfer clause are not mentioned in the Offer Letter, but the clause is mentioned in Appointment Letter. Seniors please clarify if I am wrong.

Hi Hiral
Thank you very much for your immediate response, one clarification Offer Letter is a Job Offer letter, in that Letter why the entire clause/policy of the company has to be mentioned before a candidate joins the company.

Hi Saji,
Pl remember it is NOT mandatory but OPTIONAL to mention. No one can stop you to do so. At times, it serves as boon if the company wants to post the employee directly at a different location from beginning which is otherwise not mentioned at the time of final interview or probably a different location is cited. Employee will have the feeling that the policies are TRANSPARENT.

Hi Saji,
You are right in your approach to add the transferability clause in the letter of appointment as without the express consent of the employee he cannot be transferred from the location of his initial appointment to any other locaIation. I agree with the clauses proposed by the friends above.

Hi Saji,
If you did not include the Transfer Clause in your Offer Letter to your employees, did you have the clause in your Employee Handbook of which a copy should be given to the employee and the acknowledgment slip returned to HR.
Bear in mind that if you transfer your employees to a separate entity, you will have to take note to the employees' length of service, whether their service is continous or start afresh in the new company and also the benefits that they are enjoying currently. If their services are truncated and they join the new companys as new joiners, you may have to look at compensation as well.

If the 'Appointment Letter' mentions that your services shall be governed/ regulated by the HR Policies of the company & if the HR Policies cover the 'Transfer' aspect, there is nothing wrong in transferring an employee to another unit of the company on a job with the same profile. This keeps in view the employee development aspect since 70% of employee development is through job rotations (transfer being the mode) & 30% is through formal training.
Remember, a business organization has to manage their manpower resources optimally to avoid being in the red. If a transfer upsets an employee, he always has the option to quit. Everything, need not be stated in an Offer/ Appointment letter.
