I am the Director of my Institute and I am being appointed Team Leader. Can I sign the Team Leader Appointment form both as “Authorised Representative” and “Team Leader”?

Even if they hold the highest position at their institute, Directors are legally not authorised to appoint themselves as Team Leaders and cannot sign both the “Authorised Representative” and “Team Leader” sections of the Team Leader Appointment form. The “Authorised Representative” section must be signed by an Authorised Representative other than the Director themselves. Examples of authorised representatives include Heads of Administration, Human Resources Managers, Personal Assistants, etc.
