Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Summary

Extract:

The complainant was promoted from grade A.3, step 11, the highest step in that grade, where he had twelve months' seniority, to grade A.4, step 8, with no seniority. He claims the right to have the twelve months' seniority carried forward. The Tribunal holds that the claim is groundless. In accordance with the Service Regulations the complainant was promoted to "the lowest step in A.4 which carried a higher basic salary than what he had received at his step in A.3 increased by one twelve-monthly incremental step in that grade."
