Document background
The Lateral Transfer Letter Request is a crucial document in Philippine corporate settings that facilitates internal mobility while maintaining compliance with local labor laws. This formal communication tool is typically used when an employee seeks to transfer to a different department or role at the same hierarchical level within the organization. The document should clearly state the current position, target position, rationale for transfer, and relevant qualifications. It must align with the Labor Code of the Philippines and any applicable DOLE regulations, while also adhering to internal company policies regarding employee transfers. The letter serves as an official record of the request and initiates the formal transfer process, requiring appropriate approvals from both current and receiving departments, as well as Human Resources.
