Details of cost increases
1. This Information Annex provides information on the cost increases which have been included in the budget and which are calculated either on the basis of the object of expenditure, or on the basis of an analysis of a particular activity.
Inter-agency co-ordination regarding calculation of cost increases in Geneva-based portions of the budget
2. For a number of biennia, the ILO has used assumptions agreed upon in common with other organizations of the United Nations system having headquarters or major offices in Geneva as a basis for the calculation of cost increases in the Geneva-based portion of its budget.
3. In continuing this established practice, endorsed by ACC, representatives of these organizations held a meeting in September 1998 to consider rates of exchange and inflation to be assumed for Switzerland in their proposed budgets covering 1999 or 2000-01. The conclusions of the meeting were as follows:
US dollar – Swiss franc exchange rate
4. The rate of exchange assumed for budgetary purposes between the United States dollar and the Swiss franc was of particular importance for organizations whose budgets were denominated in dollars and whose expenditures were incurred to a significant extent in Swiss francs. However, the rate also had importance for organizations whose budgets were denominated in Swiss francs, since it affected the Swiss-franc equivalent of estimates for dollar income and expenditure, such as expected receipts of support-cost income in dollars from extra budgetary sources, requirements for activities in which costs were incurred in dollars, and contributions to the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund, which were calculated in dollars.
5. As was the case in previous meetings, participants recognized that market conditions made it impossible for organizations to predict the evolution of exchange rates, especially for periods as long as the one extending from the time of preparation of proposed budgets up to the end of the financial period that they covered. The latest actual rate was therefore normally taken as a basis in drawing up budget estimates. Since governing bodies considered proposed budgets at different times and the timing of their reviews determined the dates at which the estimates had to be established, no common cut-off date, and hence no common rate, could be contemplated. Individual organizations could, however, adopt the last United Nations operational rate of exchange that was known at the time of the completion of its proposed budget. Adjusted estimates could subsequently be presented at the time of governing bodies’ reviews where this was judged to be appropriate by the Executive Head concerned.
Rates of inflation in Switzerland and other cost increases
6. The other cost changes for which it was necessary to make provision in proposed budgets included both the expected effects of inflation and "statutory" changes resulting from upgradings and downgradings of posts, recruitments and promotions, annual salary increments, etc. It was for each organization to make allowance for these latter factors in the light of its own experience and trends; consequently, it was difficult to encourage uniform rates in this area. On the other hand, a common set of assumptions could be agreed upon with regard to the evolution of economic factors in Switzerland in the period considered. However, since for a variety of reasons the estimates for the preceding period embodied different assumptions on cost levels, each organization would need to decide on the adjustments required in its 1998 and 1999 estimates in order to provide an adequate cost base in budgeting for the economic conditions jointly assumed for 2000 and 2001. Elements that could involve changes in cost levels but depended on decisions still to be taken by governing bodies might need to be included in proposed budgets, but, in that case, would be specially identified as conditional items.
7. The official Swiss consumer price index had shown an average increase of 0.5 per cent in 1997, the average Geneva index having increased slightly more (by 0.7 per cent). The projected average for 1998, assuming that the variation in the period from September to December would be the same as in August, was 0.1 per cent (as against a projected average of 1.0 per cent for Geneva). Participants discussed forecasts made by various sources and also the possible impact of a strong euro on the cost of imports to Switzerland. In conclusion, the meeting agreed that a 1.3 per cent inflation rate should be used for 1999, 2000 and 2001. However, it was understood that the general rates of inflation to be used by individual organizations in their budget estimates would be subject, as were budgetary rates of exchange, to the dates of preparation and review of their budget proposals. In view of the evolution of the inflation rate, organizations would need to take account of any new developments or revised predictions made up to those dates.
8. Consideration was then given separately, for each of the organizations' major items of expenditure, to the cost increases that might be expected in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and to those increases which had actually taken place in 1997 and were expected in 1998. In this consideration account was taken of available official statistics, statements of competent authorities, the views of reputable economic analysts and information gathered from professional associations and other appropriate sources. It was noted that in some cases these data suggested rates of inflation for individual types of expenditure which differed from the overall rate assumed. The agreements reached are set out below, subject to review by individual organizations on the basis of any further information that may become available at a later stage.
(a) Staff costs for the Professional and higher categories in Geneva
Even assuming a 1.3 per cent annual inflation rate for Geneva, there would be no increase in the cost of professional salaries. ICSC has decided to recommend to the General Assembly, effective 1 March 1999, a consolidation of 2.48 per cent of post adjustment on a "no gain no loss" basis. Given the existing 8 point gap between the post adjustment index and the multiplier, it is very unlikely that there will be any change to the Geneva post adjustment multiplier in the next few years.
(b) Staff costs for the General Service category in Geneva
A comprehensive salary survey was carried out in 1995. This indicated that existing pay scales were some 7.1 per cent higher than in the local market. The new salary scale is adjusted every year for inflation but the old salary scale is still some 5.6 per cent higher than the new scale and it would be several years before inflation closed the gap. The next comprehensive general service salary survey is scheduled to start in 2000. It is unlikely that there will be any significant increase in general service staff costs in the forthcoming budget period.
(c) Contributions to the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund
The total rate of contribution to the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund, corresponding to 23.7 per cent of pensionable remuneration, was not scheduled for revision at present. The two-thirds share financed by member organizations would therefore remain at 15.8 per cent of pensionable remuneration in 1999. If the actuarial evaluation of the pension fund in 2000 shows a surplus there might be a discussion in the Pension Board meeting regarding a possible reduction from the 23.7 per cent rate of contribution. At the same time, it was noted that the rate of staff assessment is likely to decrease rather than increase.
For staff in the Professional and higher categories , increases in the New York pensionable remuneration of 1.8 per cent had been announced for November 1998. This figure was subsequently revised to 2.3 per cent which would produce a similar increase in the level of pensionable remuneration and thus in the cost of organizations’ pension contributions. This would affect the pension costs for Geneva-based staff notwithstanding the absence of any increase in post adjustment. Similar increases might be anticipated for 1999, 2000 and 2001.
For staff in the General Service category , pensionable remuneration was the dollar equivalent of the sum of the local gross salary, any language allowance and any non-resident's allowance payable. Although the local gross salary may in practice be frozen for the next few years, any changes in the dollar-Swiss franc rates of exchange would impact the dollar costs of organizations’ contributions.
(d) Other common staff costs
ICSC is recommending an increase of 6 per cent in the maximum admissible education grant for Switzerland. There will also be some changes in the termination scale and the mobility and hardship allowance but with minimal impact on Geneva staff costs. No major increases in dependency or language allowances for the General Service category are foreseen in the period 2000-2001.
(e) Travel and Transport and Air Freight
It was agreed that non-European air fares might increase at a 2 per cent annual rate whereas air fares inside Europe and air freight would reflect the inflation rate assumption in paragraph 7 above.
(f) Contractual Services
Contractual printing and binding – Leaving aside the factor of paper cost, it is expected that increases for printing and binding services will be at the general rate of inflation. In cases where the orders are placed in other countries than Switzerland different annual rates of increase need to be foreseen.
Other contractual services (including contractual maintenance of premises and equipment) – Costs of other contractual services including contractual maintenance of premises and equipment are expected to increase at the annual rate of inflation assumed above.
(g) General Operating Expenses
Fuel oil – It was difficult to estimate an increase since price variations are dependant upon the prevailing political/economic world situation but it was agreed that assumption of inflation at the rate assumed above was appropriate at this time. It was agreed that organizations should take into account the latest price levels in effect at the time of the completion of their proposed budgets.
Other utilities – It was estimated that water will increase by 10 per cent per year in 1999 and 2000. For electricity, it was anticipated that prices will not increase over the budget period.
Communications (Telephone, facsimile services, pouch services, postage) – Communications costs in Switzerland are currently stable and increases beyond the general rate of inflation are not expected.
(h) Supplies and Materials
Paper and printing supplies – In a cyclical market, it appeared that there was an upward trend at this time and prices were assumed to increase at slightly more than the general rate of inflation.
Other supplies and materials – The cost of other supplies was expected to increase at around the general rate of inflation.
(i) Acquisition of furniture and equipment
The steady price decreases for office automation equipment (hardware and software) during 1997 and 1998 were expected to continue. However, the necessity to replace the old equipment by more sophisticated equipment, which is more expensive, and the purchase of new software packages, were expected to completely offset the anticipated savings. For furniture and other equipment, average increases were forecast to be at the same level as the general rate of inflation.
9. In the ILO's programme and budget proposals, unless otherwise disclosed, these commonly agreed assumptions have been used to calculate cost increases in 2000-01 as regards expenditure to be incurred in Switzerland. For duty stations outside Switzerland, cost increases have been calculated on the basis of detailed analyses of price and salary movements at each duty station since these may vary widely from region to region and within each region.
Details of cost increases by object of expenditure
10. Cost increases are applied to the budget either on the basis of the object of expenditure, or on the basis of an analysis of particular activities. While details of the cost increases applied for 2000-01 are given in the following paragraphs, it should be noted that in some cases, it has also been necessary to adjust for price movements in 1997 and 1998 which differ from those provided in the 1998-99 Programme and Budget. In general, these adjustments have arisen due to actual cost increases being less than those anticipated in the 1998-99 Programme and Budget, particularly for post adjustment and related benefits for Professional category staff and for General Service salary movements. These adjustments result in a reduction of some $12 million from the total required for cost increases in 2000-01.
Staff costs
Staff calculated at standard cost
11. The increases in the standard costs are explained in paragraphs 33 to 53 below.
Interpreters, committee secretaries and short-term conference staff
12. In line with the general inflation assumptions for staff in Geneva, no increases have been provided.
Locally recruited staff
13. Cost increases applicable to locally recruited staff in field duty stations are discussed in paragraph 32 below.
Travel on official business
14. No increases have been provided for the cost of air tickets after taking account of competitive pricing available in most markets.
Contractual services
External collaboration
15. In general the cost of external collaboration contracts should evolve in relation to the cost of Professional staff. Therefore, with the exception of contracts for translation services, which are subject to a separate agreement, no cost increases have been foreseen for external collaboration.
External printing and binding
16.The forecasted increases agreed between the Geneva-based agencies, will be absorbed in the current biennium.
General operating expenses
17. The range of items under this object of expenditure is so varied that any significant cost increases provided for are mentioned below under the programme concerned, in particular for those provisions under Internal Administration (paragraphs 27 to 29).
Supplies, materials, furniture and equipment
18. The amounts provided under this category of expenditure in constant dollars are considered sufficient to absorb the estimate of cost increases as agreed between the Geneva-based agencies.
Other expenditure
19. This is composed of joint administrative activities within the United Nations system, e.g. CCAQ, UN Joint Inspection Unit. The budget estimates for these bodies have been used as a basis where available, with cost increases being based on the general rate of assumed inflation in the location of the various bodies (1.3 per cent for Geneva and 3.0 per cent for New York). Forecast increases in pensionable remuneration of retirees of some 2 per cent per annum have been applied to the provision for the ILO contribution to the Staff Health Insurance Fund for retirees.
Regular Budget Technical Co-operation (RBTC)
20. In view of the minimal inflation in dollar terms forecast for the regions, no cost increases have been provided for resources budgeted for RBTC field projects.
Details of cost increases by programme
21. For certain programmes involving specific types of expenditure, it would not have been realistic to use the average rates of increase indicated above. In such cases, cost increases are based on an appraisal of the particular conditions applying to each case. Details of these increases, and of other cost increases which are considered sufficiently important to be mentioned separately, are given below.
Governing Body
22. An over budgeting of travel related expenditure in the 1998-99 biennium amounting to some $40,000 has been taken into account.
General Management
23. At the request of the Officers of the Governing Body, the representation allowance of the Director-General is increased to 120,000 Swiss francs per annum in order to enhance his capacity for external communications and out-reach. This allowance has not been increased since 1975.
International Standards and Human Rights
24.No increase has been foreseen in the honoraria paid to members of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations.
Turin Centre
25. The cost increases provided take into account inflation in Italy which has been estimated, in dollar terms, at 2 per cent per annum.
International Institute for Labour Studies
26. The ILO's contribution to the Institute is normally adjusted to take into account the anticipated movement in the average standard costs for Professional and General Service staff. Consequently, no increase has been provided this biennium.
Internal Administration
27. The main non-staff items under this programme are: building running expenses (water, electricity, heating oil and maintenance, cleaning contracts); purchases of equipment, supplies and materials; telecommunications, postage and pouch expenses; and rental and maintenance of furniture, equipment and vehicles.
Building running expenses
28. The rates agreed upon between the Geneva-based agencies, have been applied to this category of expenditure.
Telecommunications, postage and pouch expenses
29. Due to the increased competition in these sectors and new agreements that have been negotiated by the Office, no increase has been considered necessary.
ILO Library
30. The costs of serials and periodicals continue to rise at an alarming rate. While every effort has been made to absorb these increases over recent biennia, a provision of some 9 per cent per annum has been required.
Cost increases in the regions
International costs
31. Provision has been made for internationally recruited staff in the field on the basis of the standard costs described in paragraphs 33 to 53 below. The provisions for cost increases for RBTC are described in paragraph 20 above.
Local costs
32. Increases in local costs, including those for salaries and allowances of locally recruited staff, are calculated individually for each of the ILO's offices outside Geneva. The latest 1998 costs are increased for estimated inflation in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and take account of the effect of adjustments in the rate of exchange between the local currency, and the US dollar and the Swiss franc (where for budgeting purposes the local currency is assimilated to the Swiss franc). The Asia and Pacific Region has been the most affected in this regard due to the devaluation of certain currencies against the US dollar. The average annual rate for each region, in dollar terms, is as follows:

Standard costs
33. Separate standard costs are used for Professional and General Service category staff in Geneva. They do not cover staff in grades D2 and above.
34. The standard costs are composed of a number of elements, the cost of which can vary from one biennium to another with changes in the cost of living, conditions of service, places of recruitment and assignment of staff, etc. The 2000-01 standard costs are essentially a projection of actual costs in 1998 with appropriate allowances for expected trends of inflation, changes in staff entitlements, and the impact of the mobility policy.
35. The compositions of the standard costs, with comparative figures for 1998-99, are given below. The Professional category standard cost is based on an exchange rate of 1.46 Swiss francs to the US dollar.
The General Service category standard cost is expressed in Swiss francs.

36. As the budget proposals are presented in constant 1998-99 dollars, the standard costs per work year used in the estimates in the budget tables are those for 1998-99, i.e. $148,332 for the Professional category and $89,244 for the General Service category. The standard costs given above for 2000-01 ($147,000 per Professional work year and $88,680 per General Service work year) have been used in calculating the total expenditure budget including cost increases. When the budget has been adopted by the Conference, the final standard costs, taking account of the budget rate of exchange, will be used for costing the individual budget tables. An explanation of the method of calculating the standard costs follows.
Professional category
Basic salaries
37. The estimate represents net basic salaries, i.e. gross salaries less staff assessment. Using the current actual average base salaries as a base, allowance has been made for increases in salaries due to the net effect of such factors as annual increments payable in accordance with the Staff Regulations, regradings, retirements, new appointments, etc. and includes a provision for the commutation of accrued leave at the end of service. The increase in the base/floor salary scale of 2.48 per cent effective March 1999, as approved by the United Nations General Assembly has been included. Although further consolidations of post adjustment into net basic salary at an average rate of 4 per cent per year in 2000 and 2001 have been assumed for the calculation of those elements which are based on the base/ floor salary scale alone (mobility, hardship and terminal payments), they have not been applied in the calculation of basic salary in order to preserve as far as possible comparability with the 1998-99 cost of this category. Since such consolidations increase basic salary while at the same time decreasing post adjustment on the no gain/no loss principle, the net combined effect on these two categories of the standard cost would be nil.
Post adjustment
38. The significant decrease in this category results from a decline in the average post adjustment multiplier applied to external offices. The multiplier is established by the ICSC on the basis of periodic cost of living surveys and monthly movements in exchange rates. Estimates of post adjustment also take account of the consolidation of post adjustment into basic salary described above. In line with the assumptions made by the inter-agency meeting which was held in Geneva in September 1998, no increases in post adjustment have been provided for in respect of staff based in Switzerland. A provision of 3 per cent per annum has been provided for officials serving in field duty stations.
Dependency allowances
39. The provision for dependency allowances takes account of the decision of the recently concluded United Nations General Assembly to increase the children's and secondary dependent's allowances by 14.6 per cent effective 1 January 1999 but is largely offset by an overbudgeting in 1998-99.
ILO contribution to pension fund
40. This category covers the cost of the ILO contribution (15.8 per cent of pensionable remuneration) to the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF). The actual increase in the scale of pensionable remuneration of 2.73 per cent in November 1998 has been taken into account. Provision has been made for increases in the scale in 1999, 2000 and 2001 based on estimates of salary inflation in the base duty station, New York.
ILO contributions to the Staff Health Insurance Fund and other staff insurance
41. This category is linked to basic salary, post adjustment, dependency allowances and mobility hardship and non-removal allowances, and thus the estimate changes in accordance with movements in the cost of these elements. The ILO contribution to the Staff Health Insurance Fund is maintained at the rate of 2.8 per cent.
Education grants and scholastic travel
42. Account has been taken of the increase in the ceiling amount for education grants (ranging from 6 per cent in Geneva to 11 per cent in the United States) approved at the recently concluded session of the United Nations General Assembly, and provision has been made for increases in fees charged by educational institutions in accordance with general inflation estimates.
Travel and removal expenses incurred on appointment, home leave, transfer etc.
43. This category includes travel on appointment, transfer, separation and family visit, and removal of household goods and transportation of personal effects. The small increase in this category is essentially due to the continuing implementation of the mobility policy.
Allowances paid on appointment and relocation
44. This category includes assignment grant, mobility allowance, hardship allowance, non-removal allowance, rental subsidy and per diem allowance for short term staff. The impact of the staff mobility policy results in this category of costs continuing to rise at a relatively higher rate than other categories. Account has been taken of the effect on the mobility and hardship allowances of expected increases in the base/floor salary scale arising from the consolidation of post adjustment in 1999, 2000 and 2001 as noted in paragraph 37 above.
Terminal payments
45. This category consists of a contribution to a Terminal Benefits Fund of 3.5 per cent of the basic salary for eligible officials. The small increase results from the effect of increases in the base/floor salary scale, including the consolidation of post adjustment into basic salary described in paragraph 37 above, partially offset by the elimination of the alternative repatriation grant provisions for eligible terminating officials who entered service before 1 January 1964.
General Service category
Basic salaries
46. The decrease in basic salary is due to the continued freezing of salaries following the ICSC salary survey in 1995 and a slight over provision for the impact of statutory increases during the period 1997 to 1999. Provision has been made for the net effect of factors such as annual increments payable in accordance with the Staff Regulations, regradings, retirements, new appointments etc. No provision has been made for inflation as agreed at the Geneva inter-agency meeting.
Dependency allowances
47. Dependency allowances change as a function of basic salary and local conditions with respect to social benefits. Provisions made for cost increases to this category between 1997 and 1999 have not materialized and therefore a small reduction has been possible.
ILO contribution to pension fund
48. This category covers the cost of the ILO contribution to the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF). The decrease results from the application of new scales of pensionable remuneration for new staff and the impact of the reduced base salary described above.
ILO contributions to Staff Health Insurance Fund and other staff insurance
49. This category is linked to basic salaries, dependency allowances, mobility hardship and non-removal allowances, and accordingly reflects the net impact of movements in these elements. The ILO contribution to the Staff Health Insurance Fund is maintained at the rate of 2.8 per cent.
Education grants and scholastic travel
50. Account has been taken of the increase in education costs approved by the recently concluded session of the United Nations General Assembly and an under budgeting of this category in the current biennium. Provision for increases in fees charged by education institutions has been made in accordance with the general rate of inflation agreed at the Geneva inter-agency meeting.
Travel and removal expenses incurred on appointment, home leave, transfer etc.
51. This category includes travel on appointment, transfer, separation and family visit, and removal of household goods and transportation of personal effects. The continuing reduction in the number of non-locally recruited General Service staff through natural attrition is responsible for this decline.
Allowances paid on appointment and relocation
52. This category includes assignment grant, mobility allowance, hardship allowance, non-removal allowance and rental subsidy. The small increase results from an overly optimistic reduction in the 1998-99 provision for this category.
Terminal payments
53. This category comprises two factors, namely a contribution to a Terminal Benefits Fund of 3.5 per cent of the basic salary for eligible officials who entered service on or after 1 January 1964, and the estimated average cost of actual repatriation grant payments made to eligible termi
nating officials who entered service before 1 January 1964. The decrease exceeds the decrease in basic salaries due to the continuing decline in the number of eligible terminating staff.
