Judgment No. 2053
Decision
THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.
Consideration 8
Extract:
The complainant was on leave without pay for a period of 2 years and 8 months. There being no suitable post at the end of this period, this leave was extended for another 2 years. "What the complainant asked for [at the date of her reintegration] was the recalculation of her reckonable experience and her grade; in other words she was seeking promotion as a result of experience gained while on unpaid leave. Promotion is carefully regulated under Article 49 [of the Service Regulations]. This article provides for six different types of promotion, but there is no provision for promotion for having gained additional experience while on leave. Nor is there provision for any recalculation of the calculation made on recruitment. This claim fails."
