爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements

爆料网AT considered the Secretary-General’s appeal regarding whether 爆料网DT erred in ordering both an extension of Mr Sannoh’s appointment and payment of a termination indemnity. 爆料网AT noted that 爆料网MIS Information Circular No. 334 provided that staff with fixed-term appointments that are due to expire shortly will have their appointments extended for one year and, should a staff member’s function no longer be required by the mission prior to the expiration of their fixed-term appointment, a termination indemnity may be payable in accordance with Staff Regulation 9. 3 and Annex III of the Staff Rules. In light of this reasoning, 爆料网AT affirmed 爆料网DT’s finding that Mr Sannoh was entitled to compensation for the breach of his entitlement under the Information Circular, as his periodical extensions totalled less than a year. 爆料网AT also affirmed 爆料网DT’s finding that Mr Sannoh was entitled to a termination indemnity in accordance with the law. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网DT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

Mr Sannoh contested the decision to separate him from service. 爆料网DT held that Mr Sannoh was entitled to a termination indemnity under Annex III of the Staff Rules and ordered that his contract be extended from 30 June 2012 to 31 August 2012, or in the alternative, that he be paid one month’s net base salary at his functional level at the time of the contested decision. 爆料网DT also ordered that Mr Sannoh be paid termination indemnity in accordance with Staff Regulation 9. 3 and Annex III to the Staff Rules.
