UNDT/2022/067, Sivan
The Tribunal noted that the Applicant did not dispute the fact that he did not request management evaluation within the 60-day statutory period of staff rule 11.2(c). He did not dispute the fact that while the 60-day period commenced on 25 January 2021, he mailed his request for management evaluation on 16 April 2021, more than three weeks after the expiration of the statutory deadline.
Accordingly, since the Applicant did not seek management evaluation in a timely manner, his application was not receivable ratione materiae. Consequently, the application was dismissed as not receivable.
The Applicant contested the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force’s decision to separate him for abandonment of post.
Pursuant to staff rule 11.2(c), a request for a management evaluation shall not be receivable by the Secretary-General unless it is sent within 60 calendar days from the date on which the staff member received the notification of the administrative decision to be contested.
Pursuant to art. 8.3 of the Dispute Tribunal’s Statute, the Tribunal has no power to waive or suspend the deadlines for management evaluation.
As per the settled jurisprudence, the Dispute Tribunal may only review decisions that have been subject of a proper and timely request for management evaluation.
