Hi all, I know it’s probably Google-able but I find asking on here is usually a lot more informative.
There’s a secondment situation happening at work and I’m wondering if anyone on here could answer the following questions please. It’s an internal secondment, if that helps.
1. I’ve been on secondment for almost 24 months now (four continuous periods of 6 months) and have been told that is the longest I can be on secondment because any longer than that and I would have to be given a contract for the job permanently. Is this true?
2. I have been told that I will have to end my secondment, but I have seen that there’s a 6 month secondment position being internally advertised for the job that I was doing. Can they do this or should the job have been offered to me after 24 months?
3. Once my secondment period has expired am I then free to apply for this 6 month vacancy (or another secondment in different role) or does a certain period of time have to have passed before I can apply for another one?
The office manager wants to keep me on in the role and they’re not happy that they’re losing the two years of training and experience I have gained, but we have a new GM who has come in (and caused a lot of workplace problems) and, for whatever reason, he doesn’t want to hand out any contracts.
Any help is very much appreciated, thanks.
