Transfer procedures

Lynn · July 2001

We have a transfer policy in which to help our employees grow with the company. However, we are having a difficulty with the logistics of the performance and compensation reviews. Usually our employees only receive a wage increase once per year (from their hire date)at their review. If an employee transfers departments,they do not necessarily receive a wage increase, but do receive a review. Because the yearly review date would change from hire date to transfer date the compensation dates would also be changed. An employee could go almost two years without receiving a wage increase if they were not given one at the time of transfer and needed to wait another year before their next review. Please help with any suggestions. Thank you.

Could you pro-rate an increase? In other words, If they transfer six months before their review date, give them 50% of what they would normally receive and then they wait a year for their next review. If the transfer is 3 months before their review date, they get 75% of the raise, etc.

On a transfer where the employee doesn't receive an increase, we kept the review date the same if the review date from the prior position was less than 6 months away, or moved it to the date of transfer if the review date from the old position was less than 6 months past.
