��AT Held or ��DT Pronouncements

Management evaluation of the decision concerning Applicant's share of contribution for medical insurance not filed within the statutory deadline. Consequently, this part of the application is not receivable ratione materiae. Application is receivable concerning the decision concerning the Applicant's share of contribution for the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (��JSPF). Art. 25.b)i) of the ��JSPF Regulations clearly provides that contributions during SLWOP are paid either 1) in full by the staff member, 2) in full by the employing Organization or 3) partly by the staff member and partly by the employing Organization. No provision links either of the three payment methods to how the SLWOP was arrived at. The practice of the Organization by which pension contributions during SLWOP are the responsibility of the staff member is in line with the applicable ��JSPF Regulation. Therefore, the Applicant's claim fails and is rejected.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
