What would happen if the employer needs to pull the secondee back for any reason?
It is suggested that a two week notice period from either the employer or the host company should be given to terminate the secondment for any reason, though both companies can agree a shorter or longer period. It may be appropriate, for example, for the notice period during the first week to be just a day or two so that either company can end the secondment if circumstances change unexpectedly. Both companies should bear in mind that the secondee may also want to give notice to terminate the secondment. To avoid requiring the secondee to remain on secondment beyond his notice period, the notice either company needs to give to the other should be shorter than the notice period the secondee is required to give to terminate the secondment.
