Transfers of Employees in Albanian Legislation in a Comparative Perspective
Keywords:
Employee transfer, Albanian labour legislation, private and public sectors, European Countries legislations
Abstract
Employee transfer is an important phenomenon that affects both the public and private sectors worldwide. It is one of the most important managerial and productive instruments that a company can use. Even though it is widely used in practice, it is not a well-regulated institution in Albania according to European standards. Albanian labor legislation only recognizes the internal transfer of one category of workers, the civil servants. In this context, there arises an urgent need for the immediate regulation of this institution for the category of workers in the private sector as well. This would ensure effective protection of employees in line with the European legislations, as the lack of such regulation may turn transfers into a tool in the hands of employers.
