UNDT/2022/040, Applicant Applicant

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal found a number of the Applicant's claims to not be receievable. The Tribunal found that the primary reason for the refusal of the Applicant's request to extend her time telecommuting was that the Applicant’s role as a child protection officer needed presence on the ground and that telecommuting was not appropriate for the functions of her role. The Applicant did not have a medical exemption to telecommute. The record showed that the reason was true and that the Applicant was afforded the same discretion as other members of her team. The Tribunal therefore found no indication of discriminatory practices against the Applicant.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant challenged: (a) the denial of her sick leave entitlements; and (b) alleged discriminatory practices against her.
