Procedural Posture

Public Service Employment Dispute / Final Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the reduction of the multiplication factor for the applicant's salary upon promotion was lawful under the Staff Regulations and transitional provisions
  2. 2 Whether the principle of equal treatment was violated
  3. 3 Whether the principle of legitimate expectations was violated

Ratio Decidendi

The Tribunal held that the reduction of the multiplication factor upon promotion with retroactive effect was consistent with the applicable statutory and transitional provisions. The applicant had no acquired right to the increased factor, and the administration's uniform application of promotion dates and calculation methods did not violate equal treatment or legitimate expectations. The claim was therefore rejected.

Court Disposition

claim dismissed

Orders

  • The application is rejected.
  • CU and the Comité des régions shall bear their own costs.
