Can a special deployment position have a subordinate structure? In other words, can a position report to an SD position?
A. Special Deployment is a compensation mechanism and is not linked to position classification. While it is possible to create positions reporting to an individual who is not in a classified position, it would involve describing the duties, classifying the positions reporting to the SD and undertaking staffing processes to fill them. SD is intended to respond to specific temporary, short-term operational requirements that do not form part of the usual and continuing functions of the organization. Therefore, departments might find it more expedient to second or assign employees from their substantive positions. It would be important to identify reporting relationships in the assignment agreements and to specify who will complete the performance evaluations of the assigned employees.In cases of special deployments for knowledge transfer, training and development, or pre-retirement purposes, it is difficult to envision how a subordinate structure could be required.
