| 1. |
It has been noted with concern that the correct procedure regarding the secondment of CS educators, especially to directorates at Head Office and EMDCs, is not strictly adhered to. |
| 2. |
The Directorate Personnel Management (Educators) is responsible for the processing of requests for secondments in terms of the delegation powers of the Head of Education. If this procedure is not followed, it could result in the appointments of substitutes or following acting appointments not being processed. Note that no post facto approval will be granted for secondments. |
| 3. |
The following written documentation is required when an application for a secondment is submitted: |
| 3.1 |
Full reasons why the secondment is necessary |
| 3.2 |
The recommendations of the relevant director and chief director |
| 3.3 |
The proposed seconded educator’s written consent to the secondment and confirmation that the secondment will take place at the educator’s own expense. |
| 4. |
Directors are requested to ensure that this documentation is provided to the aforementioned directorate. The directorate concerned has, in fact, been commissioned not to process secondments if they are not in accordance with the prescribed procedures. |
| 5. |
Your co-operation will be appreciated. |
