Secondment decision of 21 employees from ISTD cancelled

AMMAN — The Administrative Court on Wednesday cancelled a secondment decision of 21 employees, out of 40 employees who contested the decision, from the Income and Sales Tax Department (ISTD) to several ministries, according to the 2018 staffing tables.

The court’s contestable decision said that there was a clear contradiction in the secondment decision, which was made for other reasons than those announced, where the department requested appointing new employees and seconded other employees for having surplus, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The court attributed the cancelling of the secondment decision to lacking the title of secondment jobs, which contradicts the Civil Service By-law.
