Short-Term Saved Leave Scheme

As announced at the meeting of the Standing Concertation Committee (SCC) on 26 June 2007 and in http://Bulletin No. 28/2007, the existing Saved Leave Scheme will be discontinued as of 31 December 2007.

Staff participating in the Scheme will shortly receive a contract amendment stipulating the end of financial contributions compensated by save leave. Leave already accumulated on saved leave accounts can continue to be taken in accordance with the rules applicable to the current scheme.

A new system of saved leave will enter into force on 1 January 2008 and will be the subject of a new implementation procedure entitled "Short-term saved leave scheme" dated 1 January 2008. At its meeting on 4 December 2007, the SCC agreed to recommend the Director-General to approve this procedure, which can be consulted on the HR Department’s website at the following address:

All staff wishing to participate in the new scheme are invited to submit an EDH request. The EDH form is already available for completion by staff wishing to participate as of 1 January 2008. Staff submitting a request between 7 and 31 January 2008 will have the possibility to opt for an entry date backdated to 1 January 2008.

Please note that the usual two-month notice period will be suspended until 31 January 2008.
