Administrative Circular No. 30 (Rev. 3) - “Financial benefits on taking up appointment and on termination of contract”

Administrative Circular No. 30 (Rev. 3) entitled “Financial benefits on taking up appointment and on termination of contract”, approved by the Director-General following discussion at the Standing Concertation Committee meeting of 27 June 2013 and entering into force on 1 August 2013, is available on the intranet site of the Human Resources Department (see here).

Administrative Circular No. 30 (Rev. 3) is applicable to all members of the personnel.

It cancels and replaces Administrative Circular No. 30 (Rev. 2/Corr.) entitled "Financial benefits on taking up appointment and on termination of contract” of September 2009.

This circular was revised in order to implement the modifications introduced into the Staff Rules and Regulations in January 2013 relating to the introduction of the status of Associate Member States and new categories of associated members of the personnel.

In particular, the notion of “Member State” in Annexe II (“Volumes applicable to removal expenses”) of the circular was broadened to “Member State or Associate Member State”. The circular also now refers to “Scientific Associates” and “Guest Professors” instead of “Paid Associates”.

Annex I (“Removal procedure”) was modified in order to identify and clarify the obligations of the parties involved in a removal and to introduce a tripartite contract to be signed by CERN, the member of the personnel concerned and the removal company.
