Stepping stone to a new permanent job
Secondment in the making
Are you looking for a temporary solution for an employee who is no longer in the right place, but is still employable? Secondment through MEPD can offer a solution.
The employee joins us and is temporarily placed with another organization. This way, he or she stays active, keeps their skills and experience up to date, and gains new insights at the same time. It’s a smart way to facilitate movement without losing anyone.
The advantages of secondment
The employee remains connected to the CAO Metalelektro and the industry pension fund PME or PMT. For companies in small metal, we second employees via our foundation Metaal en Techniek Personeelsdiensten (MTPD).
Although some employees enjoy the variety and versatility of secondment, this way of working often proves to be a stepping stone to a new, permanent job for many.
Opportunities within outplacement
Secondment can be used alongside or instead of an outplacement trajectory, depending on the situation of the organization and the employee.
Our approach to secondment
MEPD is formally the employer and handles all administration; from the employment contract to salary payments. A reliable mobility partner for both people and organizations.
• In a personal meeting, we assess the situation and needs
• We then provide advice in which we discuss the various options and conditions.
• We take care of the administration: draw up the contract and ensure all necessary documents are signed
MUP
Finding a new job can be tough. Especially when employees are approaching retirement age.
What about salary or benefits? And what happens to their pension?
MEPD offers employers the possibility to give employees, who are approaching (early) retirement, an Employment Contract with Deferred Performance Obligation (MUP) with a separate b-collective labor agreement. The employees then join MEPD, receive a fixed income, and accrue full pension rights.

Secondment means temporarily lending staff to work under the supervision and direction of you as the client. The employee then becomes employed by Stichting MEPD. This can be flexible on a temporary basis, but also for the duration of a project or for a fixed period.
Secondment via MEPD or MTPD offers several advantages for you and the employee. We pay according to the CAO Metalektro or CAO Metaal en Techniek and are affiliated with the PME or PMT pension funds.
Secondment offers a high degree of labor flexibility and reduces risks when hiring a new employee. We are certified with the SNA mark (NEN 4400-1).
In addition to the salary, the rate also depends on the chosen arrangement: flexible on an hourly basis or for a fixed period or a fixed number of contract hours. With or without sick leave risk, etc. For a non-binding consultation and a rate, you can always contact us.
