Summary
Extract:
The complainant was promoted from grade A.3, step 11, the highest step in that grade, where he had twelve months' seniority, to grade A.4, step 8, with no seniority. He claims the right to have the twelve months' seniority carried forward. The Tribunal holds that the claim is groundless. In accordance with the Service Regulations the complainant was promoted to "the lowest step in A.4 which carried a higher basic salary than what he had received at his step in A.3 increased by one twelve-monthly incremental step in that grade."

Summary
Extract:
The rule on promotion in the EPO is not to take account of professional experience gained before the age of 25. The complainant contends that new guidelines calling for "minimum age requirements" superseded the rule. Having considered the new guidelines, the Tribunal finds that the 25-year rule has not been changed since the minimum age requirement has exactly the same effect.

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.

"It would be in breach of an official's rights as such and a denial of his entitlements under the procedure for personal promotion to discount any of his service, including periods he may have spent on secondment to technical assistance projects. But the complainant is in a quite different case since he was not yet an official when employed on such projects."

Summary
Extract:
As to identity in the cause of action, Mr [A.] notes that the Tribunal had in part rejected the complainants' plea of breach of good faith on the grounds that they had taken up duty after the new criteria had taken effect. Mr [A.] contends that this reasoning does not apply to him insofar as he had taken up duty before the change in rules. The Tribunal acknowledges that there is on this point a new cause of action; however it holds on the merits that a staff member has no right, save in exceptional cases, to demand that the rules on promotion in force at the time of appointment should never be modified.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant claims 'rapid promotion' by virtue of the exception provided for in paragraph 64 of document CA/PV 10 concerning EPO staff members who were recruited before 1 January 1981. Inasmuch as the complainant was appointed after that date, he is not entitled to the promotion.

Consideration 4
Extract:
"Even if an examiner appointed after 1 January 1981 had been promoted contrary to the rapid promotion rule in CA/20/80, that is no reason for unlawfully promoting the complainant. As the Tribunal stated in Judgment 614, a complainant may not rely on unlawful treatment which conferred benefit on other staff members: equality in law does not mean equality in the breach of it."

"The Tribunal may not replace with its own the Director-General's assessment of a staff member's conduct, work and qualifications. All it may do in the matter of an appointment, promotion or transfer is review the decision to see whether it was taken without authority, or whether there was a procedural or formal flaw, or a mistake of law or of fact, or abuse of authority, or a mistaken conclusion from the evidence, or whether some essential fact was overlooked."

"The procedural flaw the complainant alleges is that the EPO will fully let the appeal proceedings drag on so as to thwart his hopes of promotion. The plea fails. The EPO may not be taken to task for awaiting the Tribunal's ruling on the earlier complaint." In addition the EPO resorted to an extraordinary procedure so that his promotion could be awarded.

Summary
Extract:
The complainant makes unsound objections to the application of guidelines presently in force. An official has no right to demand that rules in force at the time of joining the organisation not be amended. The Tribunal sees no evidence of breach of the principle of equal treatment, as claimed by the complaint. The reason why officials recruited at A.3 and those recruited at A.2 and promoted to A.3 do not fall under the same rule is that their factual positions are not the same.

Consideration 6
Extract:
The job descriptions require five years' experience for promotion. It is clear from the guidelines that is a minimum requirement. "The President therefore acted correctly, when he came to apply the provisions on the minimum requirements, in adopting a requirement of eight years' experience for both recruitment and promotion [...] A requirement of eight years' experience is compatible with the rules."

Summary
Extract:
The Tribunal holds that on the evidence the supervisor did not break promises as alleged by the complainant in support of his claims: first of all, when assigning additional work to the complainant, his supervisor made no promise to him; furthermore, while he led the complainant to believe that he would suggest upgrading of his post, he appears to have done so. The claim for compensation fails.
Keywords:
post classification; promise; promotion;
Consideration 8
Extract:
For some years the complainant has been trying, to no avail, to have his post upgraded. "Although the evidence shows the complainant to be a fine staff member who has perhaps not fared as well towards the end of his career as he might reasonably have expected, that does not mean the iILO has been in any way at fault."

What must be shown is that the totality of enumerated duties, taken in the light of the everyday functioning of the post, in all the circumstances surrounding such functioning, represents an increase in the duties and responsibilities of the post. This the complainant has been unable to show."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"A system which discriminates in the matter of promotion between officials according to their nationality seriously offends against the principle of equal treatment and should as a general rule be forbidden. [...] In the unusual circumstances of this case [in order] to establish a new secretariat, the Tribunal holds that the Administrative Council was free to lay down for a strictly limited period conditions for promotion which differed according to nationality." The object was to secure a balanced staff. There is no evidence to suggest any abuse of authority by the administration, and its action was therefore not unlawful.
Keywords:
equal treatment; nationality; promotion;
Consideration 5
Extract:
"Although international organisations may determine quotas for recruitment for the purpose of preserving or developing the international character of the staff, officials are normally entitled to objective treatment after they have taken up duty. This is a general rule. If in any particular case it can be shown that a scheme for determining quotas on recruitment would not work satisfactorily unless it was extended in a limited way to subsequent promotion, an exception may be justified."

Consideration 4
Extract:
The Tribunal considers it something of an anomaly that the complainant has had no promotion for thirteen years. Her reasonable expectations have not been fulfilled. The advice given her by the Secretary-General to submit her candidature for WMO post vacancies "implies some willingness to advance the complainant's career by giving her promotion corresponding to her seniority, qualifications and experience, provided that this is administratively and financially possible."
