UNDT/2014/062, Parisi

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The UNDT found that OHRM’s decision not to consider (endorse) her for a temporary P-3 post in DM (Umoja) and to deny her conversion from the FS-6 level to the P-3 level was valid and lawful. The decision not to consider the applicant eligible for a temporary P-3 post was correct since she only fulfilled one of the mandatory and cumulative conditions – five years of professional experience – in November 2011. The Organization properly determined that the Applicant could not be converted from the FS-6 level to the P-3 level because there was no contractual relationship between the Applicant and DM. ST/AI/2010/4, which governs the “Administration of temporary appointments”, does not contain any provisions that would render the conversion of a staff member at the FS-6 level to that of a P-3 level possible during a loan.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contests the decision by the Office of Human Resources Management (“OHRM”) that she was not eligible for consideration or conversion from the FS-6 category to the P-3 level during the course of a temporary assignment from UNIFIL to DM (Umoja) as a Subject Matter Expert (“SME”).
