Temporary personnel loan (secondment) between government agencies
Under specific conditions, government agencies may temporarily second personnel to one another, provided a formal co-operation agreement is in place.
Usually the need for personnel loans arises when an government agency has a temporary need for specific expertise. Such secondments are carried out within the scope of the employee’s existing employment, meaning salary and benefits remain unchanged. The main principle is that personnel loans are voluntary.
These issues should be discussed prior to a personnel loan:
- Existence of a co-operation agreement between the government agencies (must exist)
- Period (recommended maximum 6 months)
- Full-time or part-time
- Invoicing of costs
The possibility of personnel loans is only available between government agencies, not with other employers such as Region Stockholm.
