New job in another enterprise with the same employer

  • Updated: 12/18/2018

Set the end date of the employment in the existing enterprise and create a new employment relationship with a new start date in the new enterprise.

This concerns the situation when an employee moves from one enterprise to another but remains with the same employer.

An employment relationship can only be linked to one organisation number for enterprises (sub-units).

 

What you have to do

If one of your employees changes job internally, from one enterprise to another, you must:

  1. Terminate the employment with the original enterprise by entering an end date.

  2. Create a new employment in the new enterprise with a new start date.

  3. Check whether you need to change any other information concerning the employment.

    This applies to information concerning:

    • Occupation code
    • No. of hours per week to which a full-time position equates
    • Percentage employment (FTE percentage)
    • Most recent date of change in percentage employment
    • Remuneration type (abolished in 2019)
    • Working hours arrangement
    • Most recent salary change date
    • Wage seniority
    • Pay grade
    • Information on leave or vessels


  4. Check whether there will be any changes to employer's National Insurance contributions.  When an employee transfers from one enterprise to another but remains with the same employer, the employer’s National Insurance contributions may change. This applies when the enterprises are in different employer’s National Insurance contribution zones.

 

Example

Declarant 1 has two enterprises, Enterprise A and Enterprise B. Lise has worked as a sales consultant for Enterprise A since 1 February. From 10 August, Lise will become the general manager for Enterprise B.
 
They must terminate Lise’s employment with Enterprise A and create a new employment for her in Enterprise B. They must do this in the a-melding for August.

A-melding for August  
Declarant 1
Enterprise A
Income recipient Lise
Employment ID 10
Employment start date 1 February
Employment end date 9 August
   
Enterprise B
Income recipient Lise
Employment ID 10
Employment start date 10 August
Employment end date  

They also enter the other mandatory information. 

Diagram. Specify the end date in the enterprise that Lise is leaving. Specify the new employment and new start date in the enterprise that Lise is joining. The text in the article explains this in more detail.
Model: what employment information should you add or change when an employee changes job from one enterprise to another but remains with the same declarant.
