How Do You Handle Employee Transfers Within the Same Enterprise? Urgent Advice Needed!

I would like to know what the procedures are for transferring employees from one company to another within the same enterprise.

For example, if some employees are moving from Field Fresh to Bharti Airtel but are still under the Bharti Enterprise umbrella, do we need to obtain resignation letters, settle final payments for the employees, and issue new appointment letters?

This is urgent. Please provide us with your valuable suggestions.

Yes, you will have to give them a fresh appointment. We have faced the same situation in our organization. We have some units in Baddi and Jammu as well. So, we had to transfer some employees from our Noida and Malanpur units. These are not only units but are separate from our existing company under the same Board of Director's body.

In this context, we had to take resignations from all the transferred employees and gave them fresh appointments there. I think this is the procedure. You can also consult with others.

Hi!

If in the appointment letter you have specified any clause for transfer within the group company, then you are free to go for a transfer along with a transfer letter.

Dear Mr. <<Name>>,

With reference to the captioned issue, we hereby inform you that you have been transferred from <<present Company>> to our group company <<transfer company>>.

Pursuant to your appointment letter dated <<date>> and clause <<clause number>> of the same, it was agreed and understood between you and the company that at any given point in time, there may be an internal agreement of transfer.

Thank you.

Hi,

There can be two options to deal with it.

First, you need to issue them a transfer letter with their new job location, KRA, and the consolidated package, and add a copy to their employee file in your records before proceeding further.

Secondly, you can accept their resignation and issue another appointment letter.

The approach taken would depend on the HR policy and compatibility.

Thanks,

Hi,

In my company, we have a transfer clause in the appointment letter, so we issue only the transfer letters. I think you should try to include this transfer clause in the appointment letter.

If you are still in doubt, feel free to call me.

Normally, a transfer will mean an In-Company transfer without any unfavorable changes in emoluments or the Service Conditions. Inter-Company deployment can be effected without any unfavorable changes in emoluments or terms of employment, provided the concerned employees agree thereto. Failing to agree will result in the termination of employment, and the notice period pay, etc., will have to be made. There is hardly any need to discontinue employment in Company A, which would result in the loss of Continuous Service and denial of certain entitlements.

Dear Gauri,

When you have employees working at both places and appointed under the same umbrella, I suggest that instead of you requiring a resignation letter, which would terminate their service period, you can depute them with the same service conditions. However, the transfer clause should be inserted in their letters before you proceed with this.
