If you want to appoint temporary resource (e.g., agency workers, consultants, or other interim support), please note that the recruiting manager needs to complete a Vacancy and Establishment Approval Form which must be approved by Finance, HR, the relevant Head of Service (and SMT if risks are flagged). This approval process is the same as for any recruitment activity. The completed and approved Form must be shared to HR so that a position is created which enables IT to set up systems access for the person being appointed. Requests for IT equipment and systems access cannot be actioned without this.
The recruiting manager will receive a reminder as the temporary employment is coming to the end of the agreed appointment period. If the ‘off-payroll’ cover is ending, the manager should complete a Leavers Notification Form to confirm their last day of work at RBBC.
If the temporary employment agreement is being extended, the manager should review the original Vacancy and Establishment Approval Form, complete the ‘extension to agreement’ section and obtain Finance and HR approval for the extension period.
