Promotion, secondment, acting up, and multiple roles

Current arrangements

Current arrangements for acting up, promotion, and secondments will continue to apply after implementation.

Moving to the reshaped structure in a temporary role

In these circumstances you will move to the reshaped structure on the equivalent grade to that of your seconded or acting up role.

If you have more than one role (multiple roles), you will move to the equivalent grade to that of each separate role.

Returning to your substantive role

Your substantive role is your main role, the role you will return to following a secondment or acting up.

When you return to your substantive role, you will move to the equivalent grade to that of your substantive role.

This will be applied on the date your secondment or acting up arrangement ends, along with any progression you would have received if you had remained in your substantive role.
