Internal/Lateral Transfer
On this page:
Organization-Directed Transfer
In circumstances where an employee is transferred to a new department or new role due to reorganization, changes in workload, work schedules, or reassignment of duties, and the transfer is intended to be a continuing assignment, the employee’s personnel record will be changed to reflect the title, department, and supervisory change as of the effective date of the transfer.
Consult with Human Resources Employee Relations prior to any organization-directed transfer to discuss the business case, the rationale for making the transfer, and any other relevant employee or departmental issues. Human Resources Compensation will be consulted should a decision need to be made on the appropriate classification and compensation of the position.
Make recommendation to your Dean/Vice President.
Approval of any organization-directed transfer is made by the appropriate Vice President/Dean/Provost after consideration of Wright State University’s commitment to affirmative action using information provided by the Office of Equity and Inclusion.
If your recommendation is approved by your Dean/VP, initiate a position posting in PeopleAdmin. When creating the posting, select the 'Internal/Lateral Transfer' option.
If the position is approved by all parties, submit the below to Human Resources:
- Personnel Action Form (PDF)
- Copy of offer letter
