UNDT/2018/137, Gizaw

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Administration decided to re-examine an earlier decision not to review the two job descriptions. The Applicant was notified that after multiple reviews it was decided that the two job descriptions would not be revised. The Applicant received notification of this final and unambiguous decision at a moment, which puts her request for management evaluation well within the deadline. The application is deemed receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicants contests the refusal to address and rectify inconsistencies and duplication in the job descriptions and duties of her own post of “Change Release and Testing Specialist”, and the post of “Quality Assurance Specialist”, resulting in a parallel job being reated and her own post being de facto abolished without any proper administrative procedure.

Legal Principle(s)

A staff member receives notification of an administrative decision when it is unambiguously communicated to her/him.
