Temporary Transfers of an ongoing employee

One of the questions that comes up often at this time of the year relates to temporary transfers and the date by which a principal must notify the base school principal that an ongoing employee’s temporary transfer is to be extended.

Department guidelines clearly state:

Where an ongoing employee’s temporary transfer is to be extended (either by appointment to an advertised vacancy or otherwise) the principal of the school must notify the base school Principal by 1 November that the transfer is extended. If this does not occur, the employee will return to the base school unless otherwise agreed between the two principals.

It is always a challenge trying to balance the complexities relating to an ongoing staff on a temporary transfer.  Comprehensive information is available at HR Recruitment in Schools Policy & Guidelines  and please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further advice and support.
