  • Judgment 1001


    68th Session, 1990
    United Nations Industrial Development Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 12

    Extract:

    "When impugning an individual decision that touches him directly the employee of an international organisation may challenge the lawfulness of any general or prior decision, even by someone outside the organisation, that affords the basis for the individual one (cf. Judgments 382 [...], 622 [...] and 825 [...]). The present complainants may accordingly challenge the lawfulness of the general methodology and of the 1987 survey of Vienna, which, taken together, constitute the basis in law of the decisions under challenge."

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainants, who are employed by UNIDO in the general service category, seek the quashing of decisions setting their pay according to the new salary scales brought in as from 1 October 1987. They are objecting to the flat 2.4 per cent salary cut included in scales drawn up on the basis of an International Civil Service Commission recommendation to account for the so-called "commissary benefit". UNIDO Staff Regulation 6.5(a) says that the pay of staff in the general service category shall be based on "the best prevailing conditions of employment in the locality" (Flemming principle). The Tribunal holds that for the purpose of establishing parity with local pay the only relevant items are the ones defined in the Staff Regulations and financial rules of the organisation and paid out of its own funds. It follows that such a benefit as access to the commissary, which is provided for neither in the Staff Regulations nor in the financial rules and is a form of tax relief bestowed by the host country at no cost to the Organisation, may not count in a comparison of this nature. The Organization's decision to reduce salaries is unlawful and cannot stand. The cases are sent back to UNIDO for the recalculation of their pay.

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainants, who are employed by the IAEA in the general service category, seek the quashing of decisions setting their pay according to the new salary scales brought in as from 1 October 1987. They are objecting to the flat 2.4 per cent salary cut included in scales drawn up on the basis of an International Civil Service Commission recommendation to account for the so-called "commissary benefit". Annex II.B.1 of the Agency's Provisional Staff Regulations says that the pay of staff in the general service category shall be based on "the best prevailing conditions of employment in the locality" (Flemming principle). The Tribunal holds that for the purpose of establishing parity with local pay the only relevant items are the ones defined in the Staff Regulations and financial rules of the organisation and paid out of its own funds. It follows that such a benefit as access to the commissary, which is provided for neither in the Staff Regulations nor in the financial rules and is a form of tax relief bestowed by the host country at no cost to the organisation, may not count in a comparison of this nature. The Agency's decision to reduce salaries is unlawful and cannot stand. The cases are sent back to the Agency for the recalculation of their pay.

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    "By virtue of Judgment 996 the complainant is entitled to reinstatement with full arrears of salary and allowances. The benefits he would have been entitled to but for dismissal included home leave for himself and his family [...]. Should [his family] choose to travel at another time the cost of their home leave will be due to him by virtue of Judgment 996."

  • Judgment 991


    68th Session, 1990
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    To mark its tenth anniversary celebration the European Patent Organisation granted a bonus to each of "all active permanent employees in post on 1 October 1987". As the complainant was then on unpaid leave "on personal grounds" he did not qualify for the benefit. The Tribunal holds that while the organisation is free to award special bonuses and free to decide who will receive them, it must apply objective criteria when doing so and avoid all arbitrary distinctions. In the instant case the restriction was based on objective criteria founded on provisions in the Staff Regulations.

    Keywords:

    compassionate leave; consequence; judicial review; leave; organisation's duties; payment; salary; special leave;

    Consideration 11

    Extract:

    "The complainant must have known when he applied for leave that he would have 'non-active status' and that that would affect his entitlement to pay and to the other benefits of employment."

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 13

    Extract:

    "Being neither arbitrator nor mediator, the Tribunal has only a limited power of review [in the area of staff remuneration] and will declare whether the impugned decisions square with general principles, with the Staff Regulations and with the terms of the complainants' appointment."

    Keywords:

    competence of tribunal; enforcement; general principle; salary; staff regulations and rules; terms of appointment;

    Consideration 7

    Extract:

    "The relations of staff with an international organisation do not end when they leave its employ. The pension scheme forms part of the administrative arrangements they may look forward to and, like pay, pensions are governed by basic rules that are binding on the organisation. Foremost among them is Noblemaire, the purpose of which is not to bestow privilege on international civil servants but to draw some of the best people from every country into the service."

  • Judgment 970

    International Telecommunication Union
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    "The complainant [...] contends that each alleged short-payment of salary constitutes in itself a separate breach by the Union of its obligations towards him. But since he has not sought review by the Secretary-General of any of the alleged short-payments, his complaint is again irreceivable".

  • Judgment 963


    66th Session, 1989
    European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainants received notification in their pay slips of a 0.7 per cent reduction in the refundable amount of education expenses which they had incurred. The organisation contends that the pay slips merely confirmed earlier decisions, viz. a general decision of 7 July 1987. The Tribunal holds that the impugned decisions were individual ones that cause the complainants injury, and not confirmations of earlier decisions.

    Keywords:

    cause of action; confirmatory decision; decision; deduction; education expenses; general decision; individual decision; payslip; receivability of the complaint; reduction of salary; refund; salary;

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    The complainants challenge Eurocontrol's decision to reduce the amount of education expenses to be refunded to them insofar as it applied retroactively. Though the Director General's decisions are the only ones the Tribunal may quash and those under challenge did not have retroactive effect, "a staff member may challenge in an individual appeal the lawfulness of any decision of the [Permanent] Commission's that affords the basis in law for a decision by the appointing authority if he believes the latter decision to be at odds - as indeed here the decisions are - with a rule or principle that governs the international civil service."

  • Judgment 936


    65th Session, 1988
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 17

    Extract:

    "The conclusion is that the Council's approval of the new scales is null and void for two reasons: because no reasons for it are stated, and because it takes into account a factor, the Dutch levy, that the rules in force in the organisation do not provide for."

    Keywords:

    amendment to the rules; breach; decision; deduction; duty to substantiate decision; executive body; grounds; provision; reduction of salary; salary; scale; staff regulations and rules; written rule;

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    "Article 64(6) of the Service Regulations reads: 'The remuneration of the permanent employees shall be subject to periodic review and shall be adjusted by the Administrative Council taking account of the recommendations of the Co-ordinating Committee of government budget experts of the co-ordinated organisations'. Though the definition puts the EPO under no specific obligation it does reflect an intention of not letting EPO pay get out of line with the broad trend in national civil services, and that is the rule of thumb followed by the Co-ordinating Committee."

  • Judgment 899


    64th Session, 1988
    European Patent Organisation
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 16

    Extract:

    In regard to the Dutch levy issue, "since no reasons were given for the impugned decisions there was breach of Article 106(1) of the Service Regulations which requires that the decision 'state the grounds on which it was based'."

    Reference(s)

    Organization rules reference: ARTICLE 106, PARAGRAPH 1, OF THE EPO SERVICE REGULATIONS

    Keywords:

    decision; deduction; duty to substantiate decision; grounds; reduction of salary; salary;

    Consideration 19

    Extract:

    "The EPO's replies to the complaints are perfunctory. [The organisation] merely cites the policy of one of the seven chosen countries and the Council's posture without actually addressing the objective criteria applied in reckoning pay and working out the scale.* Not by submissions of that kind may it avoid compliance with the rules in dealings with staff. It is preventing the Tribunal from determining the ambit of the dispute and exercising its power of review."
    *the material issue is the impact on EPO salaries of a deduction levied on salaries in the Dutch civil service.

    deduction; general decision; organisation's duties; reduction of salary; salary;

    Summary

    Extract:

    Following a promotion, the complainant was no longer entitled to a language allowance. In its place she was awarded a compensatory payment after an eighteen month delay. She regards the language allowance as part of her salary and seeks the grant of a further step. As in Judgment 737 the Tribunal dismisses her claims but awards her costs because of the delay in payment of compensation to which she was entitled.

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 22

    Extract:

    "Another plea of the complainants' is that the [International Civil Service] Commission misused its authority by availing itself of the post adjustment with the improper intent of checking an allegedly undue widening of the margin. One reason why the plea fails is that, as has been seen, the Commission acted intra vires. In authorising the Commission to suspend the increase in the post adjustment the Assembly also authorised the purpose of doing so."

    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Summary

    Extract:

    The complainant was found guilty of gross negligence in the performance of his duties. The organisation confiscated the equivalent of two months' salary. The Tribunal holds that such a decision constitutes a disciplinary sanction, not a measure to allow of compensation. Only such disciplinary action may be taken which is specifically set out in the applicable provisions. Whereas such a sanction is not provided for, the decision to impose it must be quashed.

    Keywords:

    complainant; disciplinary measure; hidden disciplinary measure; negligence; no provision; organisation; refund; request by a party; salary;

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "It is [...] immaterial that the Committee did not comment on the figures in the new salary scales. [...] In this instance what 'concerns the whole or part of the staff' is the rules for calculating the salaries of staff categories, not the actual amounts individual staff members will be paid".

    Keywords:

    advisory body; advisory opinion; amendment to the rules; consultation; enforcement; organisation's duties; provision; reckoning; salary; scale; staff regulations and rules;

    Consideration 3

    Extract:

    "The plea that no reasons were given for the impugned decision is also unsound. There can be no obligation whatever on the EPO to state its reasons for introducing scales approved by the Council. Such a decision finds its justification quite simply in the administration's position of subordination to the Council."

    Keywords:

    administrative instruction; amendment to the rules; decision; duty to substantiate decision; enforcement; executive body; general decision; provision; salary; scale;

    Consideration 5

    Extract:

    "Not only may the new method of adjusting salary bring about no reduction in salary but the wage 'restraint' may not be more than 1 per cent a year for B staff and o,5 for C staff. The purpose being merely to check increases in pay without lowering basic salary, there was no alteration of the terms of employment such as to infringe any acquired right."

    Keywords:

    acquired right; adjustment; amendment to the rules; base salary; reduction of salary; salary; terms of appointment;
