The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT determined that the decision to maintain the staff member¡¯s performance rating ¡°C ¨C Partially meets expectations¡± constituted a reviewable administrative decision that had direct legal effect on his employment. It observed that under the applicable legal framework, a rating of ¡°Partially meets expectations¡± justifies a determination that a salary increment is not warranted, and that the increment shall be withheld pending the outcome of a PIP. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT considered these consequences to be disadvantageous effects resulting directly from the rating.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT also concluded that the...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT erred in finding that the former staff member¡¯s performance had not been fairly and objectively evaluated. It found that she knew that her telecommuting arrangement was temporary and nevertheless reported to her duty station in Fiji only months later. It emphasized that her delay in requesting the payment of a travel lump sum and in applying for a visa for her mother did not excuse her failure to report timeously. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT confirmed that, in assessing her performance, the Administration was entitled to consider the extent of, reasons, and consequences of her...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that Mr. Slayyeh did not file a proper appeal of the impugned Judgment but rather was bringing a new claim for compensation that had not been submitted to the Dispute Tribunal. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that he could not introduce on appeal an issue not previously presented to the first instance tribunal as it is a violation of the due process rights of the other party and does not comply with the two-tier system of administration of justice.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the remedies available under Article 10(5) of the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT Statute allow the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT to rescind the contested decision or order...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that ±¬ÁÏÍøICEF had conducted the selection process in a manner fully consistent with its administrative legal framework, including having provided detailed reasons for considering the staff member unsuitable for the post. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that his candidature had received full and fair consideration, and he had not shown through clear and convincing evidence that he had been denied a fair chance of selection. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that there was no evidence of bias or ill-motive against him.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT was of the view that ±¬ÁÏÍøICEF¡¯s failure to notify the staff member of the non-selection...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA avait commis une erreur en jugeant recevable la demande de Mme Fakhouri.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que, bien qu'elle f?t membre du personnel, la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e par Mme Fakhouri concernait les conditions d'un contrat potentiel non pas en tant que membre du personnel, mais en tant que contractante ind¨¦pendante, et que, par cons¨¦quent, la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e n'¨¦tait pas susceptible de recours. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøU a soulign¨¦ que l'article 2(1)(a) du Statut du DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA stipule clairement que les recours peuvent ¨ºtre form¨¦s contre les d¨¦cisions administratives lorsque ces...

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ que la fonctionnaire avait d¨¦pos¨¦ de nombreuses plaintes et demandes confuses qui avaient fait l'objet de divers examens par l'Unit¨¦ d'¨¦valuation de la gestion, le TFP et le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT, qui visaient tous essentiellement ¨¤ garantir que l'Administration continue de lui verser des prestations pour raisons m¨¦dicales apr¨¨s l'expiration de son engagement ¨¤ dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e.

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que ses observations ne permettaient pas d'identifier avec pr¨¦cision une d¨¦cision administrative sp¨¦cifique susceptible d'¨ºtre r¨¦examin¨¦e. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøI a estim¨¦ que les pr¨¦tendues non-d¨¦cisions ou d¨¦cisions...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ que les primes d'assurance maladie impos¨¦es par l'UPU en 2023 variaient en fonction de facteurs tels que l'?ge, le statut de retraite et le pays de r¨¦sidence.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que l'argument des requ¨¦rants concernant le principe de solidarit¨¦ utilis¨¦ dans la l¨¦gislation suisse en mati¨¨re de s¨¦curit¨¦ sociale n'¨¦tait pas fond¨¦, car ce principe n'¨¦tait plus appliqu¨¦ par l'UPU depuis plusieurs ann¨¦es.

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a d¨¦termin¨¦ que le taux de contribution de l'UPU ne diff¨¦rait pas entre les diff¨¦rents groupes d'?ge et qu'il n'y avait aucune preuve que les augmentations de primes ¨¦taient...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que les faits avaient ¨¦t¨¦ ¨¦tablis par des preuves claires et convaincantes. Il a estim¨¦ que le t¨¦moignage de la plaignante ¨¦tait coh¨¦rent avec ses d¨¦clarations ant¨¦rieures, ¨¤ l'exception de la date de l'incident. Toutefois, la correction de la date qu'elle a apport¨¦e lors de l'audience a ¨¦t¨¦ jug¨¦e de bonne foi et n'a pas nui ¨¤ sa cr¨¦dibilit¨¦. Son r¨¦cit a ¨¦t¨¦ corrobor¨¦ par deux autres membres du personnel, M.V. et M.M., qui ont tous deux t¨¦moign¨¦ devant le TDPI. Le TNP a ¨¦galement estim¨¦ que l'ancien membre du personnel n'avait pas d¨¦montr¨¦ que ces t¨¦moins avaient un motif...

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøU a not¨¦ que, dans son jugement, le DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA avait ordonn¨¦ au Commissaire g¨¦n¨¦ral de verser ¨¤ Mme Smadi la diff¨¦rence entre les salaires et les avantages sociaux correspondant ¨¤ son grade HL6 et ¨¤ son ¨¦chelon et ceux correspondant au grade HL7 et ¨¤ l'¨¦chelon auxquels elle avait droit ¨¤ compter du 1er ao?t 2017.

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøU a estim¨¦ que le libell¨¦ de l'ordonnance ¨¦tait sans ¨¦quivoque, tout comme ses termes. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøU a estim¨¦ qu'il avait ¨¦galement ¨¦t¨¦ clairement indiqu¨¦ dans le jugement du DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA que le taux pr¨¦f¨¦rentiel am¨¦ricain devait s'appliquer ¨¤ compter du 30 mai 2023. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøU...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que l'±¬ÁÏÍøDT avait commis une erreur en concluant que la demande de la fonctionnaire n'¨¦tait pas recevable. Il a estim¨¦ que la fonctionnaire avait en fait contest¨¦ une d¨¦cision administrative qu'elle jugeait non conforme ¨¤ ses conditions d'emploi. Par cons¨¦quent, l'±¬ÁÏÍøDT ¨¦tait comp¨¦tent pour d¨¦cider s'il y avait lieu ou non d'ordonner la conduite d'une enqu¨ºte ou de prendre d'autres mesures concernant les all¨¦gations et les plaintes de la fonctionnaire. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a conclu qu'en jugeant la demande de la fonctionnaire irrecevable, le TUD avait agi en violation de la section 5.6 du...

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøC a not¨¦ que l'outil de classification des emplois de l'Agence avait ¨¦t¨¦ utilis¨¦ pour reclasser les postes des membres du personnel. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøC a estim¨¦ que le DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA n'avait pas commis d'erreur en statuant sur l'affaire en l'absence du document complet intitul¨¦ ? Master Standard for Classification ? (Norme principale de classification) de la Commission de la fonction publique internationale. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøC a donn¨¦ raison au Commissaire g¨¦n¨¦ral en estimant que les rapports de classification ¨¦taient pertinents et suffisants pour les d¨¦cisions du DT de l'±¬ÁÏÍøRWA.

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que, malgr¨¦...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a not¨¦ que le fonctionnaire avait ¨¦t¨¦ inform¨¦ par courrier ¨¦lectronique du reclassement du poste qu'il occupait, sans commentaires sur les motifs de cette d¨¦cision. L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a ¨¦galement not¨¦ qu'il n'avait pas ¨¦t¨¦ promu au poste reclass¨¦ avant de quitter le service.

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que le TUD avait correctement d¨¦termin¨¦ que le fonctionnaire savait ou aurait d? raisonnablement savoir, ¨¤ la date ¨¤ laquelle il avait re?u la notification du reclassement ou, au plus tard, ¨¤ la date ¨¤ laquelle le poste reclass¨¦ avait ¨¦t¨¦ publi¨¦ dans Inspira, que son poste avait ¨¦t¨¦ reclass¨¦ et qu'il n'avait...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the Agency¡¯s job classification tool had been used to reclassify the staff members¡¯ posts. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT had not erred when it had decided the case in the absence of the full document of the International Civil Service Commission¡¯s ¡°Master Standard for Classification¡±. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT agreed with the Commissioner-General that the Classification Reports were relevant and sufficient for the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT¡¯s determinations.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that notwithstanding the various anomalies in the reclassification process, the staff members had failed to show anything specific that...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the health insurance premiums imposed by the UPU in 2023 differed according to factors such as age, retirement status and country of residence.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that there was no support for the appellants' contention regarding the principle of solidarity used in the Swiss social security law, as for several years such principle had no longer been applied by the UPU.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT determined that the rate of the UPU¡¯s contribution did not differ between the various age groups and there was no evidence that the premium increases were inconsistent with the costs the insurance provider...

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ qu'au-del¨¤ du signalement au Bureau des services de contr?le interne (BSCI) d'un ¨¦ventuel comportement interdit li¨¦ au non-respect des r¨¨gles et r¨¨glements financiers de l'Organisation des Nations Unies, le fonctionnaire n'avait aucun autre int¨¦r¨ºt juridique dans la conduite de l'enqu¨ºte ou son issue. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a en outre confirm¨¦ l'avis du TUDN selon lequel l'affirmation du fonctionnaire selon laquelle le BSCI avait refus¨¦ d'ouvrir une enqu¨ºte sur son signalement ¨¦tait sans fondement. Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a conclu que le TUDN n'avait pas commis d'erreur en jugeant irrecevable la demande...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT erred when it found Ms. Fakhouri¡¯s application was receivable.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that despite being a staff member, the decision with which Ms. Fakhouri took issue was one which related to the terms of a potential contract not as a staff member but as an independent contractor and therefore the contested decision was not one that was appealable. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT emphasized that Article 2(1)(a) of the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA DT Statute makes clear that appeals can be brought against administrative decisions where such decisions relate to the staff member¡¯s terms of appointment. But the...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the staff member had filed numerous and confusing claims and applications that had been the subject of various reviews by the Management Evaluation Unit, the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT and the ±¬ÁÏÍøAT, all of which essentially attempted to ensure that the Administration continued to pay her benefits for medical reasons after expiration of her fixed-term appointment.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT held that her submissions failed to identify in precise terms a specific administrative decision capable of being reviewed. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the so-called non-decisions or incomplete decisions identified by her were not...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT noted that the staff member had been notified of the reclassification of the post he encumbered by e-mail without comments on the basis for the decision. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT also noted that he had not been promoted to the reclassified post before separation from service.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT had correctly determined that the staff member knew or reasonably should have known by the date he received notification of the reclassification or, at the very latest, by the date the vacancy of the reclassified post was advertised in Inspira, that his post had been reclassified and that he had not...

L'±¬ÁÏÍøAT a estim¨¦ que l'±¬ÁÏÍøDT avait correctement conclu que l'ancien fonctionnaire avait commis une faute en violant ¨¤ plusieurs reprises, pendant plus d'un an et demi, les r¨¨gles interdisant ¨¤ son ¨¦pouse de passer la nuit avec lui dans l'enceinte de la MINUSS, un lieu d'affectation non familial, sans autorisation ni paiement des frais d'h¨¦bergement requis, malgr¨¦ de multiples avertissements et une r¨¦primande pr¨¦alable.

Le T±¬ÁÏÍøAT a ¨¦galement confirm¨¦ que, lors d'une s¨¦ance de conseil, l'ancien fonctionnaire avait menac¨¦ de tuer son ¨¦pouse et tout membre du personnel afin de prot¨¦ger leur mariage et...

The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT found that beyond reporting the possible prohibited conduct concerning non-compliance with the United Nations financial rules and regulations to the Office of Internal Oversight Services, the staff member had no further interest in law in the conduct of the investigation or its outcome. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT further agreed with the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT that there was no basis for his assertion that OIOS had declined to conduct an investigation into his report. The ±¬ÁÏÍøAT concluded that the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT had not erred in finding the application concerning this decision not receivable.

Regarding the staff member¡¯s complaint of...
