Secondments and temporary reassignments

Secondments are fixed term opportunities for a regular staff member to gain valuable experience in another organizational unit with the knowledge that the staff member will return to their existing position when the term of the secondment has ended. An agreement between the University, the staff member, as well as the two organizational unit heads, the hiring manager and current staff manager, and Human Resources is required. A secondment typically occurs between departments, and the position is advertised campus-wide. View secondment opportunities.

Temporary Reassignments are similar to secondments in that they are temporary opportunities. The difference is that these roles are within the employee’s home department, and as such, if the position is advertised, the advertising for the opportunity is internal to the department.
