Titularization: What is it about ? Titularization means granting a permanent contract to an official. “Permanent” being, in ILO/UN jargon, without limit of time (WLT) except reaching retirement age (pensionable age) (which remains a legitimate ground for termination)

Advantages of titularization Indirect protection against dismissal: Reasons for terminating a WLT contract have to be stated (“proposal for termination”), the official is entitled to appeal to the Joint Committee - Loans, notably with MEC: Titularized staff can get a credit for a longer time (until retirement age) than FT staff (e. g. for buying a house) - Repatriation grant (internationally recruited staff): Only titularized officials are entitled to a repatriation grant; FT staff get a lump sum according to their length of service

Conditions and Criteria Circular 6/452 (rev. 1) of 8 April 1993 - - - Good conduct, satisfactory performance, seniority, official’s capacity to pursue a career in his/her field of competence and the prospective needs of the organization Satisfactory service is the prevailing condition for receiving a WLT, in addition to seniority Priority is given by order of entry-on-duty Officials in probationary period are excluded

Seniority: Striking differences Titularization for G staff after about 12 years and for P staff after about 7 years (quota depend upon retirement patterns ) Progress was made over the last 15 years: Equalization between HQ and Field G staff Difference between P and G stems from a) Need to « take on board » Field staff b) Quicker retirement of P staff (demography + pension matters) coupled with slower recruitment THIS DIFFERENCE RESULTS FROM A PRACTICE, NOT FROM STATUTORY RULES

Procedure v The exercise is a joint one, conducted by SU representatives and by HRD, sitting at parity on an ad-hoc committee v There are two lists established, based on actual date of entry in the ILO, one for G staff (HQ and Field) and one for P staff v. The cut-off dates are established on the basis of number of positions vacated through retirement, end of service, promotion to higher category v. The length of the period between the cut-off dates may vary from one titularization exercise to the next

Procedure (ctd. ) v The Staff Union Committee sends a broadcast indicating cut-off dates, so that staff may contact the SUC in order to learn whether their name is on these lists v The working group then establishes the lists of staff who might be eligible for a WLT contract exceptions: ISSA; (some CINTERFOR, INST) v. The Working Group analyses the opinions expressed by the directors and submits to the JNC lists of recommendations based on that analysis v. The Joint Negotiating Committee then recommends to the Director General the names of officials to be titularized

Special Cases: Branch Offices Branch offices are liaison offices established in industrialized countries. The rulesfor branchofficesdate back froma timewhen staff there were in fact hired by governmentsand more or less paid by them Things have changed (ILO is in most cases the direct employer) but rules remain – MOST IF FOR NOT FOR ALL Direct request for review was sent to CABINET. Issue was raised on JNC. Strong support from EUROPE (most of BO) Equally true for National correspondents !

Special Cases: CINTERFOR, ISSA, INST Employment these unitsis now stableand not in of limited duration However, they still have more flexibility in recruitment than “ILO core” (quotas) and do not fully rely on RB funds Titularization is therefore possible within numbers specific to each of these units, i. e. a WLT is granted if the previous holder of a WLT leaves

Approaching retirement v An established practice: For colleagues eligible for titularization at or after reaching the age of 57, granting FT contract for up to 5 years instead of « locking a position. However, P staff should take b » care not to lose their rights concerning the repatriation grant. v This approach could also be used for other types of « special cases »

The Union agenda v v PROTECT TITULARIZATION PROCESS FROM THE COMMON SYSTEM DISADVANTAGES ACHIEVE EQUALITY BETWEEN G AND P STAFF EXTEND TITULARIZATION AT LEAST TO ALL COLLEAGUES IN BRANCH OFFICES PAID BY ILO PROTECT CINTERFOR, ISSA, INSTITUTE COLLEAGUES THROUGH LONGER CONTRACT PERIODS
