UNDT/2014/108, Hajdari
The Tribunal found that the decision regarding the Applicant’s reinstatement has a crucial impact on the case because had his request to be reinstated be considered positively, his service with the Organization would have been considered continuous. The Tribunal ordered the Administration to decide on the request for reinstatement after a policy including the conditions for reinstatement is promulgated and to review, afterward, the decision to consider the Applicant ineligible for consideration for conversion to a permanent appointment. The Tribunal remanded the contested decision to the Administration for reconsideration on the basis that the break in service was through no fault of the applicant and the applicant had requested reinstatement at the management evaluation stage and the Administration had not addressed his request then.
The applicant contests the decision not to consider him eligible to consideration for conversion for permanent appointment because of a 10-day break in service between two appointments in UNMIK and in DSS New York in 2005. The Applicant had requested reinstatement at the management evaluation stage and the Administration did not address his request before upholding the contested decision.
