Employment Law - Secondment policy abuse as a source of cheap labour

Additional Information

Secondments within organisations should be an opportunity for both parties to benefit, but as there is no limit to secondment duration within the UK then the business can utilise a performer for an indefinite amount of years and only pay a lower level of remuneration for equal work compared to a permanent employee. There should be a maximum length that can be termed as a secondment and after this the role should become permanent.

Because company policy is not always enforceable and jurisdiction can be argued at a tribunal, the law should support employees to obtain a fair wage for the level of work they perform. If organisations are allowed to decide duration for themselves it should clearly form part of terms and conditions
