What is meant by the term "secondment"?
The term "secondment" describes where an employee is assigned on a temporary basis to work for another, "host" organization ("an external secondment") or to work for a different part of their employer's organization which may be a large organization ("an internal secondment"). On expiry of the secondment term, the employee (the 'secondee') will return to their original employer.
Why might a secondment take place?
As the Honourable Prime Minister stated earlier, there are many reasons why it may be considered desirable for a secondment to occur, including:
The career development of a particular individual, capacity building and an opportunity to advance his or herself. The chance for an individual to gain some new skills or gain some experience.Providing staff with the chance to work on short term projects and new exciting ones. Providing potential cover for short term absences.Avoiding redundancies.Enabling the employee to remain with the original employer, thus preserving specific benefits such as pension schemes, and these are listed in the Act. If the secondment is external, issues that may arise can be covered in a detailed secondment agreement.Read the full article here:
