Decision details

                    The Head of Personnel introduced this item which introduced policies to capture best practice without placing undue burden on the process of temporary changes to duties.  Members noted that the Council currently had no written policies on either additional duties or secondment.

RESOLVED

1.        That the policies for Additional Duties and Secondment be agreed but with a review of the quarterly appraisal process for those members of staff acting up which would give protection against automatic assimilation into posts and reinforce equal opportunities policies in the recruitment process.

2.        That the implication of accrued benefit to the Council from professional secondment of its employees be strengthened.
