The Legal Risk Score of a Secondment Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document allows for the transfer of an employee to another company while still being employed by the original employer, which could lead to potential conflicts of interest or loyalty issues.
- The employee's access to confidential information during the secondment creates a risk of information leakage if proper safeguards are not maintained.
- The continuation of the employee's original employment terms, except as varied by this agreement, might lead to ambiguities or misunderstandings regarding applicable terms and conditions during the secondment period.
