Posted Workers vs Secondment – Part 2

This is the second part of two articles on the notion of secondment and posting.

The Concept of Secondment

Defining Secondment 

The scenario of Secondment differs from posted worker. In a secondment situation an employee, or more than one employee, would be released and temporarily transferred to another job, whether full-time, part-time or a job share, for a defined period and for a specific purpose, to the mutual benefit of all parties.

Through a tri-party relationship, an employee will be "seconded" by their employer to a third party. The employee remains employed by his employer for the duration of the secondment and once the determined time period end, the employee simply returns to the original employer.
