The Applicant had unusually received SPA for the more than the four-year period she performed functions at a higher level (February 2012 – June 2016). The post she encumbered was reclassified upwards to the FS-6 level in 2012, not 2006. The Tribunal refused her claim that she was performing higher-level functions between 2006 and 2012 when those functions were not recognized through an upward reclassification as higher-level functions. Additionally, under section 6.2(c) of ST/AI/2003/3, in respect of posts reclassified upwards at established missions, an SPA may not become effective before the effective date of the reclassification decision. Accordingly, the Applicant was not entitled to payment at the FS-6 level either by way of SPA or promotion before 2012. The Applicant was adequately compensated for performing higher-level functions at MONUSCO. The Applicant’s contention that her ineligibility for FCRB rostering and consideration for promotion to the FS-6 level was the fault of the Respondent because he did not advertise the post she encumbered for recruitment was entirely without merit. It was up to the Applicant who had successfully improved her academic qualifications to similarly seek other opportunities within the Organization to get on the FCRB FS-6 roster.
