farangsay Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi I have often read news reports of a state employee (police , army or other) being transferred to an "inactive post". What does this really mean ? You still draw salary , but just don't have to clock in on Monday morning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not able to receive the unofficial benefits an active post gives you. You lost face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the scouser Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 To be moved to an inactive post means the person concerned has made a serious error either of law or judgment and is no longer to be trusted. They are either sent home on full pay or put in charge of counting the paperclips. They'll normally come to a nice little arrangement which allows them to retire early and receive a big pay off. Scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobi Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 But, more importantly, anyone transferred to an inactive post would be moved out of the circle of "back handers", so effectively this is a reduction in income. For some government and police officials, this would amount to a great deal of money - so no one wants to be made "inactive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangsay Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 Thanks everybody It is as I suspected I don't suppose one can apply directly for such a post because , in the words of Yozzer , "I could do that". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Bit like being put on the reserve squad. Someone else mucks up - you end up being activated after a bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkangorito Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 All frivolity aside, when is the poor bugger going to get a correct answer to his question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColPyat Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 All frivolity aside, when is the poor bugger going to get a correct answer to his question? He got the answer already. It's a completely useless post that contains a desk without any work of substance, without any authority whatsoever, and where the person on the inactive post doesn't even need to make an appearance.
