An employee can be a competent witness.

His witness has nothing to do with the job.

However, if the employee is afraid of any legal action in future then he may chose not to be a witness to the said transfer. But otherwise, such an act wont be fatal to his job unless he gets some undue or illegal benefit out of this entire transfer.
