Secondments are used when staff are temporarily 'acting up' as another role at your school or MAT.
- It isn't possible to pause or suspend someone's contract, to be restarted at a later date.
- You should not record a secondment as an absence.
Quick tip!
Did you know that you can automate staff contract changes and approvals with Arbor Workflows?
We even have an easy-to-load Contract Variation workflow template that starts with a Line Manager completing a variation request, automatically routes it through the necessary approvals, and confirms with HR when the changes (like hours, pay, or scope) are approved and ready to be actioned in your MIS.
If you're on one of our newest packages, Arbor Workflows is already included. If you're not, reach out to us at customersales@arbor-education.com to discuss a renewal or Workflows as an add-on.

Secondment to a different role
To record a secondment, you'll need to add an end date to their current contract, and then add their new one. You can see how to do this here: Managing Staff Contracts
Once the secondment is over, you'll need to end their secondment contract and add a new contract for their original role. In total through this process, there will be three contracts.
Secondment to a different school
When you are on secondment to another school, they will have needed to make sure a staff profile is set up for you on the other school's site.
- If you're not able to log into the other school's site, get in touch with the admin team at the other school to check they have set up a profile for you.
- If you'll be working at multiple schools in a MAT, you might want to get in touch with your MAT MIS team to set you up on the MAT site. You'll then be able to log into schools from there.
