Conditions of Service

The scope of conditions of service overarches the pay scales and post adjustments, within-grade increments, education grant, removal costs, hardship, mobility allowances, non-family service allowance, danger pay and other elements such as rest and recuperation, home leave and leave entitlements and accommodation for air travel. Just as we successfully pushed in 2018 for the approval of a new allowance for staff in family duty stations who could not install their families, we shall work within the present review of the compensation package to restore some of the previously lost benefits and entitlements and push for new components. Salary increase shall also be high on our agenda. We shall submit arguments and make cases for bringing more fairness to some of those emoluments, allowances, and entitlements.

Notwithstanding the current financial challenges of the organization, as we believe that the crisis is not financial, rather political, we shall unapologetically pursue fair and decent conditions of service for the staff in the field. We shall especially focus on bridging the stark imbalance in family related entitlements, including the inequity in family time afforded.
