  Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to terminate her appointment as a result of the abolition of her post.

  Consideration 23

  Extract:

  Regarding the complainant’s request for the payment of the remaining 37 days of her unused annual leave, as the Appeals Committee correctly noted, it was due to the unlawful termination of her appointment that the complainant could not use those days of leave prior to the expiry of her appointment. In these circumstances, the complainant is entitled to be paid the remaining 37 days of leave.

  Summary: The complainant contests the decision not to grant him the requested paid parental leave upon the birth of his child by surrogacy.

  Consideration 8

  Extract:

  [I]t is somewhat puzzling that in the present complaint, the complainant now submits that the inappropriate use of the adoption leave provision amounts to discrimination against him. This submission is unfounded. Having regard to the complainant’s particular situation as a primary care giver, the Administration sought to accommodate his situation with a longer period of paid leave than that provided in the paternity leave provision. Based on a broad interpretation of the complainant’s situation that he was not a biological parent of his daughter, the Administration assimilated his relationship with his daughter as one of adoption. As the ILO notes, this was the most favourable decision available in the Staff Regulations.

  Consideration 7

  Extract:

  "The question to be resolved is that of whether, for the purposes of service order No. 99 [which defines the conditions and formalities governing the granting of a personal promotion], the period in excess of the 12-month maximum duration stipulated for short-term contracts should be taken into account in calculating the 18 years of continuous service. The answer is necessarily affirmative. [...] Once [the first 12-month period] had elapsed, the complainant must be considered to have been in service [...], even in the absence of a provision to that effect and taking into account the contracts he was granted thereafter. Regarding the [one month] break in service which occurred [subsequently], it is necessary to establish whether this prevented the complainant from completing the 18 years of continuous service [...] The Tribunal considers that it did not. The evidence on file, and particularly an affidavit produced by the complainant as an annex to his written submissions, shows that the break imposed on the complainant was justified only by the fact that he was employed under short-term contracts. since the Tribunal has determined that the complainant must be deemed to have been in service from 17 November 1982 onwards, the break in question must be viewed as a period of leave."

  "The principle of the confidentiality of private messages stored in a professional e-mail account must be observed [...] In the event that access to an e-mail account becomes necessary for reasons of urgency or because of the prolonged absence of the account holder, it must be possible for organisations to open the account using appropriate technical safeguards. That state of necessity, justifying access to data which may be confidential, must be assessed with the utmost care."

  Consideration 8

  Extract:

  The complainant was not required to work during the period from June 1995 to September 1997. She claims annual leave for that period. "Annual leave is a period of rest granted to employees each calendar year, the length of which is calculated on the basis of service completed, and that the right to such leave may be acquired only after a period of actual work which may include periods, of which there is an exhaustive list, that are treated as periods of actual work. The complainant completed no period of service which may be treated as a period of actual work, and so may not claim annual leave for the period in question."

  Consideration 9

  Extract:

  "The purpose of home leave is to allow employees whose work separates them for a specified period from the place with which they have the closest connection outside the country in which they are employed, to return there in order to maintain their ties. The complainant was not required to work during the period from June 1995 to September 1997; and she does not deny residing in Canada, her home country, during that period. Therefore, she may not claim home leave for the period in question. The fact that the [organisation] granted her the expatriation allowance retroactively does not imply that she was also entitled to home leave."

  Consideration 9

  Extract:

  The complainant was placed on leave without pay. Although she was included in a reduction-in-force exercise, she was not successful and she was paid damages in lieu of reinstatement. She argues that her termination indemnity should be recalculated to take into account the period of leave. "The issue is therefore whether service time continued to accrue. the answer is that it did not accrue, since the organization opted to pay damages in lieu of reinstatement. As there was no reinstatement, service time did not occur."

  Summary

  Extract:

  To mark its tenth anniversary celebration the European Patent Organisation granted a bonus to each of "all active permanent employees in post on 1 October 1987". As the complainant was then on unpaid leave "on personal grounds" he did not qualify for the benefit. The Tribunal holds that while the organisation is free to award special bonuses and free to decide who will receive them, it must apply objective criteria when doing so and avoid all arbitrary distinctions. In the instant case the restriction was based on objective criteria founded on provisions in the Staff Regulations.

  Summary

  Extract:

  Article 59 of the EPO Service Regulations provides that the President shall lay down the list of applicable public holidays up to a maximum of ten days. On 8 November 1983 the President issued a list of 14 public holidays, the four additional working days lost to be made up by extending working hours for a time by half-an-hour. The Tribunal holds that while the President may ignore the ten-day limit he may not put the number of hours in the working week at more than 40 except when they are remunerated or made necessary by abnormal circumstances. In the instant case such circumstances do not exist.

  Summary

  Extract:

  Unlike special leave, leave required in the service of the organisation must be granted, as provided by the regulations, according to circumstances and is not otherwise subject to a time limit. The 12-day leave requested by the complainant is justified for transfer from one duty-post to another, i.e. for professional purposes. The Tribunal allows the complaint.

  Consideration 4

  Extract:

  "The unconditional acceptance by the complainant of the Secretary-General's offer [...] amounted to a withdrawal of any objection he may have had to the Secretary-General's placing him on leave in the first place. Any question of principle which he might have been able to raise in regard to his being placed on leave otherwise than on his own application, and any distinction he might have sought to draw between annual leave entitlement and accrued annual leave, have been rendered purely hypothetical by his acceptance of the arrangement offered".

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  The organisation imposed four unpaid days of leave on the staff. It "doubts whether there is any substance to the complaints and hence whether they are receivable. It argues that if the complainants take the cash equivalent of the compulsory leave, all they will have done is make a 'loan' [...] 'bearing a high rate of interest' at that. But that is just a hypothesis and does not mean that there is no substance to the claims for relief."

  Extract:

  The organisation imposed four unpaid days of leave on officials. The decision "was [...] true to the aims of [the organisation] which, in the interests of workers, not only safeguards their employment but protects its terms." It was not contrary to the interests of the organisation. "Although it was not of benefit to Member States, it was in keeping with the [organisation's] aims, and so with its interests as construed by its founders."

  Consideration 14

  Extract:

  The organisation imposed four unpaid days of leave on officials over a period of six months. "It is immaterial that the decision made no formal amendment to the Staff Regulations or to individual contracts of employment of the staff members to which it applied. First, it was a temporary measure, and so there was no question of amending the Staff Regulations. Secondly, what happened was that individual contracts of employment were subject to implied amendment for a period of six months, as provided for" in the provision concerning the modification of contracts.

  Consideration 8

  Extract:

  "There is no need to consider whether it is a breach of the rule [requiring consideration for services rendered] to reduce remuneration without reducing working time. In this case both salary and working time were reduced. Whatever may have been the reasons for granting compulsory leave, there was no breach of the rule."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  "Although leave is granted on a request approved by the supervisor, such approval is subject to the requirements of the service [...]. The supervisor's discretionary power to determine such requirements is not a matter subject to control by the Tribunal [...]. Far from proving the 'excès de pouvoir' which he alleges, the complainant's case on this point is devoid of substance [...]. The refusal to grant the leave requested by the complainant therefore appears justified."
