Extract:

The Tribunal finds it convenient to join these complaints and render a single judgment on them, as they raise the same issues of fact and law.

Consideration 8

Extract:

As the Committee noted, the compensatory allowance was meant to serve as a means of mitigating the adverse financial effects that the reorganisation had had on the complainants’ income in 2005 and not as a permanent financial bonus, and that moreover, ten years after the commencement of that entitlement the EPO slightly reduced the compensatory allowance, while nonetheless maintaining the complainants’ income at a stable level. In the Tribunal’s view, this reasoning is in line with the Tribunal’s analyses in Judgments 2972 and 3109, consideration 3, particularly as the complainants no longer perform shift work outside normal working hours. As the impugned decisions accepted the Appeals Committee’s reasoning on this issue, the complainants’ claims to the contrary are unfounded.
