The following guidelines outline procedures to be followed in these situations. Work on projects with an expected duration of less than a year, but at a recognizably higher level than the normal work grade, will be handled through the current process of stipends. A staff member who is seconded to a position at a higher classification level than their 'normal' position, may be temporarily reclassified for the duration of the secondment to that grade level or one appropriate to the work being performed. Return to Home Department. If the salary earned during the secondment falls within the range of the previous classification, the normal salary administration process occurs.
Salary remains a responsibility of the home department throughout the duration of the secondment.
If a reclassification occurs, the seconding department will pay the difference in salary in the year in which the reclassification occurs, until May 1 of the fiscal year when the central fund will adjust the operating budget of the department.
