Extract:

Existence of an acquired right to work night shifts and to receive the corresponding allowance.

Consideration 7

Extract:

"[A]n international organisation 'necessarily has power to restructure some or all of its departments or units, including by the abolition of posts,[...] and the redeployment of staff' (see Judgment 2510, under 10). The notion of redeployment is apt to include not only assignment to different posts, but also the assignment of new or different shift work patterns."

Reference(s)

Jugement(s) TAOIT: 2510

Keywords

assignment; post; abolition of post; reorganisation; working conditions; working hours; other

Consideration 8

Extract:

"Once it is accepted that an organisation has a right to assign new or different shift work patterns, it follows that a particular shift work pattern cannot constitute an acquired right."

Keywords

organisation; acquired right; assignment; reorganisation; working conditions; working hours; right

Consideration 8

Extract:

"It was recognised in Judgment 666 that 'an allowance may form an essential part of the official's contract [...] and its abolition would therefore constitute breach of [an] acquired right'. However, it was also said in that case that an official 'has no acquired right to the actual amount of the allowance or to continuance of any particular method of reckoning it. Indeed, he must expect these to change as circumstances change'."

Reference(s)

Jugement(s) TAOIT: 666

Keywords

amount; acquired right; terms of appointment; contract; allowance; night differential; payment
