Will I be granted a continuing appointment if I meet all the criteria and I am found to be eligible?

The review of eligibility is Phase I of the process. If the number of continuing appointments to be awarded under a given post envelope is larger than the number of eligible staff members then those staff members recommended to be granted continuing appointments will be assessed by OHR to ensure that they continue to meet the following criteria during the entire review period:

(a) have performance rating of at least “Meets expectations” or equivalent

(b) are not international or locally recruited staff serving in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda or the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

(c) are not be subject to any disciplinary measure

(d) are not seconded or separated from the Organization. The final determination of granting the continuing appointment will be made by the ASG for Human Resources.

In the event the number of continuing appointments to be awarded under a given post envelope is smaller than the number of eligible staff members, then Phase II, the Point Allocation, will commence. Staff members and departments/offices will be advised of the calendar of this process in due course. As with Phase I, staff will be given the opportunity to provide comments and additional information through inspira on the calculation of their points. The departments/offices will proceed with the review.

You can find a detailed overview of the process of both Phase I and Phase II under Review Process on the Continuing Appointment page in the HR Portal.
