Document background
The Letter of Intent to Relocate is a crucial preliminary document used when an organization plans to transfer an employee to a different location, whether within Belgium or internationally. This document, governed by Belgian employment law and EU regulations, serves as the first formal step in the relocation process, preceding the final relocation agreement. It is typically used when companies are expanding, consolidating operations, or requiring specific talent at different locations. The letter outlines the proposed changes to the employment relationship, includes essential relocation terms and support measures, and provides the employee with necessary information to make an informed decision about the move. While not legally binding in all aspects, the Letter of Intent to Relocate helps establish clear expectations and demonstrates the employer's commitment to supporting the employee through the relocation process.
