Secondment Letter (Changing Company)

By kenndale92

Hello!

 

I joined my company 6 months ago and am planning to change company due to reasons I cannot disclose. My company agreed to give me Secondment Letter if ever I find a new company. Now, to my questions..

 

1.) What exactly is a Secondment Letter?

2.) Is it true that I need to stay at least 1 year in my company (6 months remaining) to be given the Secondment Letter?

 

I really appreciate further information regarding this matter, advices or experiences to give a better grasp of my situation.

 

Thank you.

thanks for all the responser though the ideas i got isn't cohesive with each other..

Anyway, wild turkey, I also believe it's a legal procedure. But before "lending" and employee to another company, is there no pre-requisites like completing 1 year before switching as what it stated by someone above.

I would appreciate it if you have any reference. Thank you!

A secondment letter has to be certified by the Labor Ministry and allows a company to "lend" an employee to another company for 6 months. It's a perfectly legal procedure.

in qatar law there is no such thing as secondment...according to me its illegal...probably they meant to their sister company with the same sponsor

With a secondment letter the company allows you to work for another company while you are still under their sponsorship.
