Serbian term

bočne migracije

Serbian to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Ukoliko zaposleni migrira na drugu poziciju, ali istog nivoa, menadžer može odlučiti o povećanju zarade od XX%.

Obično se povećanje u ovakvim situacijama daje ukoliko nova pozicija zahteva značajno veće odgovornosti, kompleksnost ili zahteva posebne veštine.




To mi je podnaslov za ova dva pasusa. Ja bih rekao "horizontal movement/migration", al ne daje mi gugl bas neke dobre rezultate za te pojmove, a nista drugo mi ne pada na pamet sad...

Sideways nije neformalno, samo je anglosaksonskog porekla, iako lateral je latinskog porekla. Iam ljudi koji smatraju da latinski termini su uvek bolji nego angosasonski termini, koji su narodni i netreba visokog obrazovnja za razumevanje. Ponekad ima isti problem u srpskom kada existuju istorvemeno i srpski i latinski termin.

Agree, it does seem a little informal but it is certainly used and might work.

Razmisljao sam i ja o sideways, ali mi se cini da je malo neformalno. Mada sad kad pretrazim malo, stvarno se dosta koristi.
Dusan Miljkovic (asker) Oct 20, 2012:
Da, politika i procedure ljudskih resursa u firmi.
PoveyTrans (X) Oct 20, 2012:
A sideways move is the standard term as per the reference below but if the document is more formal, then something else might be better.

What is the register? Internal business guidelines?

Depends on how you want to use it - as a heading or in a sentence (can't see it above).

It's a standard term as per the references.

If the text is very formal / legalese, then something like 'to transfer to another position at the same level' similar to your sentence above.

Ah, ok. Sounds like it might work as your subheading then.
Example sentence:

Should an employee wish to make a sideways move between departments, he or she should contact HR.

It's common for employees to make a sideways move if they fail to get promoted.

Note from asker:
Nah, it's not that formal, if business people normally use that expression, then it's the right one. Thanks!
