What happens to my contract in the event of a transfer?

Questioner

I have a permanent contract with my employer. Now I am being transferred with mutual approval to a new branch of this employer with a different position. What happens to my contract?

You indicate that you will remain with the same employer. This means, for example, that you retain your years of service. A new agreement is also not necessary. A letter signed by the employer and you will suffice in which the agreements are recorded about the new location and new function and matters such as travel expenses and the like.

Thanks for the response. My girlfriend received this message from work; Dear...., After cancellation by you, your contract with . . can end on 31-10-2014. Since you will be working in a new BV with different care and a different position, you will receive a new fixed-term contract. As soon as everything is complete I will let you know and you can cancel with peace of mind. Kind regards, What has never been discussed is that my girlfriend should resign from this position. Since I find it a very strange situation because she remains active with the same employer, I wonder if they are allowed to do this. It is especially a waste of her permanent contract after more than 5 years of service. Thank you in advance.
