3. Secondment Recoupment Set-Up Form
The revised policy, informed by internal audit report recommendations, strengthens the governance and administration arrangements around secondments. To this end a revised secondment recoupment form has been developed. This Form is to be used where a Secondment arrangement has been agreed. It must be completed and submitted to the appropriate Finance Department so the recoupment of funds process can be put in place according to HR Circular 10/2023. A signed copy of the Secondment Agreement must be included with this form before forwarding to Finance.
