Transfer Overview

Intra-Divisional Transfer Without Recruitment is the movement of an employee from one position to another, which is in a classification having the same salary range maximum, within the same unit or division.

Inter-Divisional Transfer Without Recruitment is the movement of an employee from one position to another, which is in a classification having the same salary range maximum, from one division to another.

Reasons for selecting transfer:

  • Alternative to layoff.
  • Utilize an employee's skills in a more appropriate position.
  • Employee has specific skills qualifying them for another position.

Process Overview:

  1. The Hiring Manager (HM) determines the appropriateness of hiring an individual without an open recruitment in consultation with their HR Service Team Representative (HRSTR). See Voluntary Transfers.

  2. Employee requests transfer in writing.

  3. The HRSTR assists the HM in assembling a Transfer packet.

  4. The HRSTR obtains a classification if it is a new position.

  5. The HR Senior Partner reviews the Transfer packet.

  6. The HRSTR processes the request and conducts on-boarding of the transferred employee.

Pros Cons
  • Meets immediate needs
  • Provides opportunity for staff
  • Others may perceive inequity or unfairness in the selection of the individual for transfer, particularly if they feel that they would have been qualified for the position.
  • May result in another opening to be recruited, if the FTE is not transferred
  • Does not provide for equal employment opportunity
  • Not a competitive process

Procedure

For Intra-Divisional Transfers, refer to Demotion/Transfer - Voluntary without Open Recruitment for policy and procedure details.
