Temporary personnel loan (secondment)

Government agencies have the possibility to temporarily loan in or loan out personnel to other government agencies.

Under specific conditions, government agencies may temporarily second personnel to or from other agencies. Such arrangements require a formal co-operation agreement between the agencies involved.

If you are seconded to another government agency, the arrangement remains within the scope of your employment at Karolinska Institutet (KI). This means that you will continue to receive your salary from KI and retain all employment benefits, while performing duties at the receiving agency. Secondments are generally recommended to last no longer than six months.

Please note that secondments are only possible between government agencies and cannot be arranged with other employers, such as Region Stockholm.

If you have any questions regarding secondments, please contact HR at your department.
