The Tribunal found that Administration properly calculated the Applicant¡¯s sick leave entitlements and that the procedure to terminate her appointment for health reasons was properly followed. The Tribunal found that as the Applicant had been ¡°re-employed¡± on the fixed-term contract, staff rule 4.17 prevented the Applicant from claiming that she had completed more than three years of continuous service based on her previous service under the temporary appointment. Therefore, the Applicant¡¯s sick leave entitlement of three months on full salary and three months on half salary was calculated...

The Tribunal rejected the application as not receivable on two grounds: 1) Ratione personae because at the date of the filing of the present application the Applicant was not a staff member and the contested decision has no bearing on her status as a former staff member or otherwise breached the terms of her former appointment or contract of employment, and 2) Because it is premature since at the time of the filing of the application, the relevant response period for the management evaluation was still running.

Although the Organization¡¯s payment of the Applicant¡¯s final entitlements into the wrong bank account was a serious irregularity, the Tribunal concluded that the irregularity did not obliterate the fact that the Organization discharged its final payment obligation toward the Applicant because the payment was made into the Applicant¡¯s account on record. This mistake did not cause financial damage to the Applicant but rather resulted in a reduction of his personal liabilities. Further, the Applicant had had several opportunities to authorize the return of the funds to the Organization, and thus...

Indeed, this final administrative decision, which concludes the compounded administrative process in administering a staff member¡¯s complaint, is the only challengeable one and absorbs all the previous preliminary steps. The Tribunal noted from the record that the investigation of the Applicant¡¯s FRO¡¯s complaint had been completed and OHR had provided its assessment on the case. It further...

The Tribunal found that there was insufficient evidence to support the Administration¡¯s finding that the Applicant...

As per the account of both parties, previously awarded costs had been paid and, thus, what remained to be considered is if the 2014 contested decision has been fully rescinded or not. The issues at stake are of a medical nature and that is why this Tribunal remanded the matter by Order No. 24 (GVA/2016) so that a Medical Board is convened and a determination on the Applicant¡¯s sick leave entitlements is made. This medical determination is a condition sine qua non for the submission for consideration for a disability benefit by the ±¬ÁÏÍøSPC. Contrary to what the Applicant argues, ±¬ÁÏÍøJSPF...
