Document background
The Reassignment Request Letter is a crucial document in Saudi Arabian workplace administration, used when an employee seeks to change their role or department within the same organization. This document becomes necessary when internal mobility is desired, whether for career development, organizational restructuring, or personal reasons. It must align with Saudi Labor Law requirements and often involves multiple stakeholders, including current and proposed department heads, HR, and, for expatriate employees, sponsor approval. The letter typically includes current employment details, desired position, reasoning for the change, and proposed timeline, serving as the initiating document for internal transfer processes. Such requests must consider Saudization quotas, visa requirements for expatriates, and internal policies regarding employee transfers.
