Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 14

Extract:

"As is plain from the case law, the setting of pay scales is at an organisation's discretion. The Tribunal has recognised as much in Judgments 1000 [...] and 1265 [...], where under 26 it said, quite specifically, that it would not interfere in the drafting of the salary policy that the exercise of such discretion was based on, even though it did have power of review in the area. The discretionary authority of the Agency holds good for interim adjustments as well as for the setting of pay scales on the strength of the five-yearly general surveys."
