Job Bids

Sue2 · August 2007

What are your policies on employees bidding on jobs and transferring within the company? Our policy has been that employees are free to transfer after giving a two week notice. We've run into a situation in which an employee has put in a job bid with another department, the department with the job opening wishes to hire him but his current department is screaming to keep him.

Thanks for your help!

We allow ee's to transfer with the approval of both the current and prospective manager. If one or the other does not approve, then no transfer.

Same here, but I would want to know why the old supervisor will not approve. Is it because they just don't want to hire someone, they're stingy, or do they have a really good reason for holding an employee back?

Good luck!

We have a policy that we use for internal transfers. The policy for internal transfers is that they must be employed in their current job for 6 months, an employee in good standing with no current disciplinary write-ups or performance issues and a recommendation from their current manager. They understand that asking for a transfer and getting it is not a given. We reserve the right to go to the outside if necessary for the right candidate. We are advocates of promoting from within, but leave our options open. When we have a situation like this, the department that the employee is leaving has the option of asking for the employee not to transfer until a replacement is found or at the very least a two week notice. Then, the transfer DOES TAKE place unless we deem it to be a hardship on the department or business.
