Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 10

Extract:

The complainant maintains that the time-limit for lodging an internal appeal should run from the date on which he received the first pay-slip showing his new grading. To support that view he cites Judgment No. 753 of 12 June 1986. In the view of the Tribunal, the complainant "misreads Judgment 753: what the Tribunal held was that payment of salary might be treated as a challengeable decision only when there was no other."
