secondment

Secondment is a term from adscript, a Latin word. The concept refers to act and result of ascribing (make an inscription, add something, add someone to a entity).

For example: "The ascriptions to this religion do not stop falling from year to year", "With the assignment of our company to the Federation of Local Industries, we can access subsidies and tax benefits", "In our newspaper we do not pay attention to the political affiliation of journalists".

The idea of ascription is usually used in relation to the incorporation of something or someone to some record or group. Take the case of a town that belongs to a certain province. By decision of the national government, taking into account various historical, economic and social reasons, the administrative assignment of said town is modified, which becomes part of a different province. In this way, the town in question no longer belongs to the province to which it was formerly assigned.

The secondment can also be the militancy of a person in a political party or in another social movement. A young man attached to the Communist Party opposes capitalism, wants to abolish the right to private property and defends the postulates of Karl Marx. His affiliation to communism can also lead him to participate in acts where he meets with other subjects who share his ideas and to carry out proselytizing acts in favor of the candidates of the Communist Party.

In the case of religion, it is very common to speak of people ascribed to a certain belief, and this implies, as it happens with social movements and political parties, a bond much greater than mere sympathy for its principles. Ascription to a religion carries a certain degree of commitment and action, to keep its structure alive and get more people to join its community. As mentioned in one of the examples, for various reasons, the affiliation of young people to some religions is decreasing.

If we delve a little more into the definition of the verb ascribe, we can distinguish the following two meanings: "make something appear among everything corresponding to a person or an object", "perform the assignment from a person to a particular destination or service ”.

It should be noted that the participle of ascribe can be both ascribed What attached, according to the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) in your dictionary. On the other hand, it is not a word widely used in everyday speech, at least outside of certain areas, such as politics or religion.

In the business and administrative world, the term assignment can refer to the assignment of a person who is in full employment to a position of job different temporarily, provided that this change is considered urgent and urgent.

So that this temporary or provisional assignment to jobs it is necessary that certain requirements, among which are the following:

* The position desired by the worker must be vacant, either from the moment in which the request is made or the availability later arises for different reasons;

* the employer in charge of Market Stall in question, he must prepare a report in which he declares that such a position exists and that it is necessary to fill it, in addition to mentioning the request for secondment of the employee concerned;

* at the workplace of origin, the boss must also write a report as a recommendation from his employee, although he is not obliged to allow his transfer.
