- This Code also applies to all people working within or on behalf of the County Council regardless of the contractual basis of the engagement, including: -
- Direct employment by the council under a contract of employment
- Secondments (both to and from the County Council);
- Temporary assignments (both to and from the County Council), including Agency Workers, employees engaged through the council’s Temporary Staff Service, Work Placements, Apprentices and Trainees;
- Office holders
- Employees acting on behalf of the council as members of companies or voluntary organisations.
References to “employee” and “staff” throughout this Code are taken to include all of the above categories and any similar working arrangements.
The Code also extends to additional and dual employment that has been secured as a result of working for local government.
Inevitably some of the issues covered by the Code will affect senior, managerial and professional employees more than others – but the basic principles apply to everyone.
