Document background
The Employee Reassignment Letter is a crucial document in Canadian employment practices, used when an organization needs to formally document and communicate changes to an employee's position, department, or work location while maintaining the core employment relationship. This document becomes necessary during organizational restructuring, internal promotions, accommodations, or operational changes that require employee redeployment. The letter must comply with Canadian federal and provincial employment standards, particularly regarding constructive dismissal considerations and human rights requirements. It typically includes specific details about the new role, effective date, reporting relationships, and any changes to employment terms, serving as both a communication tool and a legal record of the modified employment arrangement. The document helps protect both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the changes and obtaining formal acknowledgment of the reassignment terms.
