Consideration 6
Extract:
WTO Staff Rule 106.11 provides that "[n]ational income tax on salaries, allowances, indemnities or grants paid by the WTO shall be refunded to the staff member by the WTO." The complainant considers that her salary is indirectly taxed, because it is included in the assessment of her husband's rate of income tax. The Organization rejected her claims for reimbursement of what she describes as "over-taxation by the Swiss tax authorities". The Tribunal holds that "[t]he refusal to provide compensation for the additional amount of tax unfairly levied on the couple's income solely because of the complainant's earned income, although it was exempt from taxation, would have a paradoxical effect. A rule designed to guarantee equal wages would lead to unjustifiable inequality between an official whose earned income was unduly taxed although it was by law exempt from taxation and an official whose tax-exempt salary was taken into account for assessment purposes, thus reducing his/her spouse's disposable income after tax and therefore his/her economic capacity from which the official living with him/her naturally benefits. The impugned decision is therefore unlawful."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"Although the purpose of the expatriation allowance has variously been described as that of "grant[ing] an allowance to [an] official who has no affinity with the country of his duty station" (Judgment 1150, under 6), to 'take account of certain disadvantages arising from being a foreigner newly installed in a country" (Judgment 1864, under 6), and to "compensate for certain disadvantages suffered by officials who are obliged to leave their country of origin and settle abroad' (Judgment 2864, under 3(a)), it is, perhaps, more appropriate to identify its purpose in terms of persons who have left their permanent home in one country to take up employment in another."

Consideration 13
Extract:
"The complainants [state] that, according to the Tribunal's case law (see Judgment 1821, for example), adjustments to international civil servants' salaries must satisfy objective criteria of stability, foreseeability and transparency. The Tribunal considers that this line of precedent - concerning the determination of staff salaries, which is necessarily governed by very strict rules - is not entirely applicable to the determination of allowances granted for a specific purpose, such as that of covering expenses incurred by staff members on travel status. Even if it claims to be acting in the exercise of its discretion, and although the legal framework surrounding its action remains vague or non-existent, the administration must base its decisions on objective considerations and avoid breaching any of the guarantees protecting the independence of international civil servants."

Consideration 14
Extract:
The Organization's Regional Office was transferred from Brazzaville (Congo) to Harare (Zimbabwe). The amount of the per diem the complainants were paid was progressively reduced. "Since the travel per diem is merely intended to cover the essential expenses of a staff member on duty travel, including lodging and food, a high rate of travel per diem cannot be justified where duty travel, which by nature implies that the staff member will continue to work primarily at his or her original duty station, lasts for two years or more."

Consideration 5
Extract:
The mere remittance of pay does not meet the requirement of notice "unless the parties to the contract of service agree that the employee should not work out the period of notice or the Organisation puts him on special leave during that period. Failing those exceptions the employee must be given actual notice so that he may make proper arrangements for leaving and possibly look for another job. It is inadmissible that any official, let alone an established one, should be told of dismissal on the very day on which it takes effect and left to his own devices without further ado."

Consideration 10
Extract:
The complainant's appointment was terminated after the Organisation abolished her post. Although the organisation knew it had a duty to look into possibilities of reassignment "it had not 'seriously' done so during the period of notice, as the rules required [as stated under Personnel Policies Manual Article 5.7.11(b)], or even afterwards. Indeed it has acknowledged by implication its failure to comply with that duty: why else offer her 'additional compensation' in relief? The plea succeeds and for that reason alone the impugned decision must be set aside."

Consideration 27
Extract:
"The Tribunal must make it plain that it will not interfere in the Agency's exercise of its discretion to determine the sort of additional duties or constraints that earn special compensation over and above the payment of salary for the performance of normal duties. Nor, if the Agency believes special compensation to be warranted, will the Tribunal, save in obviously anomalous cases, rule on the form such compensation should take or the arrangements for granting it."

"The purpose of the case law [on acquired rights] is to safeguard the substance of the staff's pay and pensions in the event of amendments to the material rules. The supplementary benefits were intended to afford compensation for constraints that at the time were not part of the complainant's ordinary duties." There was no breach of acquired rights.

Consideration 4
Extract:
"Notwithstanding the terms of 4.6(d) the practice in the ILO is to give at least two months' notice of non-renewal of a fixed-term appointment. The Organisation admits that the practice was not followed in the complainant's case but points out that he got compensation for its mistake in the form of another two months' pay. The Tribunal holds such compensation to be adequate".

Consideration 3
Extract:
The complainant, who joined CERN as a fireman, was transferred from a night-shift post to one confined to day work. The offer of the new post said that staff who gave up shift work could be compensated for loss of the shift allowance at digressive rates over three years. The Director- General decided to grant him compensation over a period of only one year. The Tribunal sets the decision aside on the grounds that "an offer of appointment holds good until it is withdrawn or accepted in good faith and without qualification, when it amounts to a contract."

Summary
Extract:
After initially accepting the organization's offer of transfer made in connection with its headquarters move, the complainants changed their minds. Their appointments were then terminated. The organization calculated the period of notice as if they had turned the transfer offers down from the start. The complainants argue that the period of notice must run from the day they made their position known and that they are therefore entitled to compensation. The Tribunal holds that such an interpretation runs counter to the applicable provisions since the organization's intention was to treat all staff members who refused the offer of transfer in the same way, whatever the date of their refusal.
