Requests for management evaluation: Requests for administrative review and management evaluation are mandatory first steps in the appeal process. Performance-based non-renewal: If the Administration decides not to renew an appointment on the grounds of poor performance, the Tribunal has to verify if the Administration has complied with the relevant procedures and whether there was sufficient basis for the decision. If this decision was reasonably made on the material available and was not affected by any significant irrelevant matter or the omission of a significantly relevant consideration or by the making of any significant error of fact or law, then it cannot be held to be made in breach of the contractual obligations of the Organisation. Application of ST/AI/2002/3 to staff on contracts of less than one year: Although the Administration is not required to evaluate performance of staff on appointments of less than one year under the provisions of ST/AI/2002/3, once the procedures under ST/AI/2002/3 are triggered, they must be followed through. Performance shortcomings: As soon as performance shortcomings are identified, appropriate steps to rectify the situation should be taken, in consultation with the staff member. Accordingly, performance improvement measures may be instituted based on the ongoing performance evaluation, including mid-point review, and prior to the finalisation of the e-PAS report.Rebuttal: Rebuttal proceedings constitute part of the performance evaluation process and must be completed with maximum dispatch.Outcome of the rebuttal process: Rebuttal panels make a binding determination of the appropriate performance rating and make a notation on the final appraisal section of the e-PAS form, marking any change in the rating as a result of the rebuttal. The rebuttal panel’s report is placed on the staff member’s file and the rating resulting from the rebuttal process cannot be appealed.
