Department Transfer Request (INTERNAL ONLY)

This application is specifically designed for current employees who are interested in transferring to a position outside of their current department that would require a change of supervisor. This may include transfers to different departments, job titles, or teams within the company. The application process for such transfers may differ from transfers within the same department or team.

Requirements for Internal Applicants Applying for a Department/Job Transfer:

1. Length of Service: Internal applicants must have completed at least one year of continuous service with the company, and must have at least 6 months in their current position. 
   1. Special consideration may be granted for employees that have relevant skills and experience and have been employed for at least 6 months, with approval from Human Resources.  
2. Employees interested in a transfer must notify their current supervisor prior to applying for transfer. 
3. Performance: Internal applicants must have a satisfactory or above-average performance rating for their current position.
   
4. Qualifications: Internal applicants must meet the minimum qualifications required for the position they wish to transfer to. This may include education, experience, certifications, or other specific job-related requirements.
5. Skills and Abilities: Internal applicants should possess the necessary skills and abilities required to perform the duties and responsibilities of the new position. These may include technical skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, or other job-related abilities.
6. Availability: Internal applicants should be available to transfer to the new department or position within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by the company.
   1. Some positions may require backfill replacement prior to allowing for the transfer to occur. 
7. Interview: Internal applicants may be required to participate in an interview process to assess their qualifications, skills, and abilities for the new position.
8. Commitment: Internal applicants should demonstrate a commitment to the company's mission, vision, and values and be willing to adapt to the culture of the new department or position.

It is essential that employees carefully review the job requirements and qualifications for the new position. It is also important to note that while the company values internal transfers and will consider them, a transfer is not guaranteed. Even if an employee meets all the requirements for the new position, there may be other factors to consider, such as staffing needs, budget constraints, or the availability of resources. Additionally, the company may receive multiple applications for the same position, and the final decision will be based on a combination of factors, including the employee's qualifications, skills, and experience, as well as their performance record and compatibility with the new department's culture and values.
