��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

��AT denied the request for an oral hearing. ��AT held that ��DT was correct in finding that the Appellant should have requested a management evaluation of decision on or before 16 December 2014 and that he did not do so until 3 January 2017. ��AT agreed with ��DT that the application was not receivable. ��AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the ��DT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the decision to terminate his continuing appointment. ��DT found that the Applicant��s request for management evaluation was untimely and, therefore, the application time-barred and not receivable.

Legal Principle(s)

In accordance with Staff Rules 11. 2(a) and (c), for an application to be receivable, the applicant must first submit a request for management evaluation within the applicable time limit, which is 60 calendar days from the date on which the staff member received notification of the administrative decision to be contested.
