This policy applies to:
• Internal secondments: Sideways moves – this relates to a secondment from an established post to a post on the same grade in the same or different directorate.
• Internal Secondments: Promotions - this relates to a secondment to a higher grade and/or offering an opportunity to develop at a higher level.
• External/outgoing secondments: to Partner Organisations – where the Authority will remain the employer and therefore the secondee will continue to be subject to the Authority’s policies and procedures.
• External/Incoming secondments: from Partner Organisations – where the Authority is the host not the employer.
Secondments may be full time or part time and can take place on a job share basis. Please refer to the Authority’s Job Share Policy for further details.
