Acting Up and Honoraria Policy - October 2024

Honorarium

Where there is the need for an employee to either act up into a higher graded post or take on some additional duties on a temporary basis, if there is more than one suitable employee with the appropriate skills and experience to undertake the additional duties and/or responsibilities, then a selection process will need to be followed to determine the best person to undertake those duties and/or responsibilities. Please contact your HR Advisor regarding the appropriate process to follow.

Honorarium payments will only apply once the acting up / additional duties have been undertaken for a period of 28 days. Payment will be backdated to day one.

Any honorarium payment will be for a maximum of 12 months and will be reviewed and authorised on a three-monthly basis. If the acting up / additional duties are going to continue longer than 12 months then the manager should seek advice from their HR Advisor.
