  Considerations

  Extract:

  The Tribunal holds that transfers from the general services category to the professional category constitute a "promotion". Such promotions are provided for by the Regulations and are actually made. "[S]ince they are not governed by any special rule, [the general] rule [on promotions] must apply."

  Extract:

  The purpose of PAHO Staff Rule 220.2 on promotions is to increment salaries. "Thus the fixing of the step must be construed as only the means by which the true object of the rule is to be secured. The means are the servant of the end not its master; the failure of the means prescribed cannot be allowed to defeat the object; the object must be achieved in some other appropriate way."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  The purpose of the applicable provision is to ensure that on promotion to a higher grade the staff member receives an increase in salary of a certain amount. "The minimum is fixed as the amount he or she would have received if the promotion, instead of being to a higher grade, had been to the next highest step in the old grade. The language of the rule assumes that there will be a step in the new grade which will carry with it a salary high enough for this purpose."

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  After working under a P.5 contract, the complainant accepted a P.4 mission on condition that his post would be upgraded to P.5. The organization had clearly informed him that the upgrading of his post would depend on the results of an administrative procedure; "it could not promise and had in fact never promised any positive outcome"; it "kept the complainant informed of the steps taken under the procedure and of developments. [The complainant] cannot therefore properly contend that the organization showed bad faith towards him."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  "It is clear that the organization has acted strictly in accordance with the regulations as they were on [...] the date when the complainant was promoted [...] It is clear also that it would have been for the personal benefit of the complainant if the promotion had been delayed until after the change in the regulations had taken effect" [one month later]. The Tribunal can see no grounds for interfering with the impugned decision.

  International Telecommunication Union
  Extracts: EN, FR

  Considerations

  Extract:

  The complainant maintains that she accepted the post only on the promise that it would shortly be graded G.6 and that the job description was marked "proposed G.6". But the complainant, who relies on mere promises or proposals, cannot claim any right to have her post regraded G.6. in the course of the general review of the grading of posts to align the organisation's classifications with those of the United Nations, the Secretary-General was "not bound by any prior legal obligation towards the complainant."
