CONCLUSION 225/04

APPROVED BY THE HEADS OF ADMINISTRATION BY WRITTEN PROCEDURE ENDED ON 7th APRIL 2004

SEC(2004)411

  1. Where, in accordance with Article 24(1) of the Conditions of Employment of other servants, temporary or contract staff members have received the full installation allowance provided for under Article 5 of Annex VII and later become officials, they are not entitled to the difference between the amount which they received as temporary or contract staff members and that which they would have received on the date on which they were appointed as officials had they been directly recruited as such.
     
  2. Where, in accordance with Article 5 of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations, officials have received an installation allowance calculated according to the basic salary for the grade and step at which they were classified on recruitment and have subsequently been reclassified at a higher grade – the original classification having proved to be wrong – they are entitled to the difference between the amount of the allowance actually received and the amount which they would have received if they had been classified in a higher grade from the start.

The difference is to be calculated according to the table of basic salaries in force at the time when the original allowance was paid.
 
This Conclusion shall apply from 1 May 2004.
 
It repeals and replaces Conclusion 108/85, which was approved by the Heads of Administration at their 154th meeting held on 23 May 1985.
