Secondee

English translation: [dictionary]

Bus/Financial - Human Resources
English term or phrase: Secondee
Employees of the Bank include “locally hired overseas employees and secondees from other organizations to the
Bank” and exclude “secondees from the Bank to other organization,” etc., indicating the number of employees based on employment.

Should "Secondee" be seconded employee, although some one said I am a secondee? This word is not recognized by a spell checker.

Thank you.
