see details Explanation: "Inlenen" simply means the temporary hiring of staff, in this instance of staff sent (detached abroad) on some assignment. Expatriate employees could be used here if the assignment is abroad, and I assume it is. |

see detail Explanation: In this context, I would translate 'inlenen' as 'take on'. The fact that the employees are not permananent (which is what 'lenen' refers to) should be evident froom the context. A detacheringsmedewerker' is a 'sceonded employee', where 'second' means 'to transfer (an employee) temporarily to another branch or company' (Chambers Dict). This is a sort of temporary staff, and they are not uncommonly supplied by temporary staffing agencies to companies. It has nothing per se to do with overseas assignments. As far as I know, the practice is nearly unknown in NA -- can't speak for the UK. translation of a proposal for temporary and seconded staff. |

2 hrs peer agreement (net): +1
use staff specifically assigned for the purpose Explanation: 'Detacheren' means that certain staff members are not to do their usual jobs, but are temporarily and specifically assigned to work on a special project: e.g. traffic police who are assigned to check hooligans during sport events |

"Take on" is not correct Explanation: I'm sorry to disagree with Ken Cox on the term "take on" as the translation for "inlenen". "Take on" implies permanency of some kind, and the opposite is meant here. By definition, "Inlenen" is hiring staff from somebody else on a temporary basis, whether that be expatriate or other staff does not make any essential difference to the meaning of the term. |
