Organizations opt for secondment because of the flexibility it offers in the face of changing personnel needs. This enables them to quickly access specialist skills without long-term obligations. In addition, secondment helps with cost control and gaining expertise for specific projects.

Secondment ensures rapid staff deployment and risk management, often through secondment agencies. This reduces overhead costs and avoids time-consuming recruitment processes for temporary work.

The duration of secondment varies based on contracts, project duration and local laws. Generally, it takes a few weeks to years, depending on specific needs. In addition, some countries have legal restrictions for this period.

The secondment agency usually pays VAT. They send an invoice to the organization where the seconded professional will be working. The organization can deduct the VAT paid as costs, depending on local laws. Please note that this may be different in other countries.

Secondment and temporary employment are both ways in which professionals work temporarily for other organizations. The difference is that when secondment specialists are loaned to another organization for long-term projects. When staffing, professionals are loaned to various clients for shorter assignments.

When one of our seconded professionals is temporarily unavailable, we look at various solutions. The client's team can take over the tasks of the absent colleague, or we can provide a replacement. Together, we adjust the schedule and make new agreements.

It is important to discuss the situation with us. The right approach depends on how long the professional has been absent and what agreements have been made. Our goal is to continue the work as smoothly as possible without unnecessary problems.
