Document background
The Job Transfer Letter is an essential document used in Saudi Arabian organizations when an employee is being moved to a different position or department within the same company. This document is required to comply with Saudi Labor Law and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) regulations, which mandate proper documentation of any changes in employment conditions. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally notifies the employee of the transfer, documents any changes in responsibilities or compensation, ensures proper updating of employment records, and maintains compliance with Saudization requirements. It should be used whenever an internal transfer occurs, whether the move is lateral, promotional, or involves relocation to a different branch or city. The document typically includes details about the new position, effective date, reporting structure, and any modifications to employment terms.
