INTERNAL COMPETITIONS - ART.90 claim models

On 04th February, R&D has invited you to attend a meeting to review the whole procedure and guide them through the steps of their appeal. Thank you for being here! Thus, as already for external assistance related to business Glantenay and Pachtitis, lawyers R&D have prepared Art.90 claim models to be available to unsuccessful applicants in these competitions. These models are available to ALL candidates excluded under these competitions AD and AST. Indeed, at the injustice of these procedures, R&D refuses that this should build on actions and soliciting patronage! However, our assistance doesn't stop there. Since each case deserves special attention, we will provide you with personalised advice and an individual follow-up case by case.

Latest news on salary adjustment 2011 and 2012

Today the European Parliament has adopted the two reports on salary adjustments for 2011 and 2012.  If the Council approves the proposal, the situation for Ispra should be the following:
Salary 2012: 0,8% x 22 months = 17,6% of our payslip
Correction Coefficient 2012: 1,2% x 12 months = 14,4% of our payslip
For 2011, it is not clear yet if the Correction Coefficient will be applied as well, or if it will be a "frozen" year like 2013 and 2014.

In case the 2011 Correction Coefficient will be applied, we'll suffer a reduction of 0,4% x 12 months = -4,8%
So, in the best case scenario, we can expect 17,6% + 14,4% = 32% of our payslip ("one shot" arrears).
In the worst case scenario, we can expect 27,2% of our payslip (again, "one shot" arrears).
In all cases, we'll receive 0,8% salary increase for the future.
