What happens when...

in Employment, jobseeking & training
Someone takes a secondment and a person is employed to cover life of the secondment and then the original post holder then resigns and then the post goes to open application. So assuming the cover person fails to be reemployed for the post through open application are they then given notice when the new permanent post holder is appointed?

    Yes.

    Has the person you are covering resigned, or are we just being hypothetical?

    It would be rather an irony that I would have to reapply for the job I was appointed to only a few months ago.

    Sadly it is something that may happen several times in a person's career, as redundancies and 'reorganisations' become more commonplace.
