Rental subsidies | HR Portal

How do I know the rent threshold percentage for a place of employment?

The threshold percentage is published by the International Civil Service Commission
on its website. From the ICSC homepage map, click on the country, the information
icon, and from the data that opens about that country, click post adjustment
classification. Rental subsidy percentage for that country is also provided on the
screen.
>Go to the ICSC site - http://icsc.un.org (Please note that certain data is not available
through the public website but is available through the UN intranet or extranet)

Where can I find the reasonable maximum rent level for a duty station?

The maximum reasonable rent level by duty station is found in the Benefits at My Duty
Station Calculator on the Pay and Benefits page of the HR Portal. The maximum rent
levels are also published in Information Circulars that you can find by searching the
HR Handbook.
