How will the review be conducted?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a “Letter of Reprimand” from a supervisor considered as a disciplinary measure?
No. This is an administrative measure and such measures, as listed in staff rule 10.2 (b), are not equivalent to the disciplinary measures which render staff members ineligible.
Will I be granted a continuing appointment if I meet all the criteria and I am found to be eligible?

Now that R&R for peacekeeping and special political missions are harmonized with the rest of the UN common system, how is it decided which duty stations will have R&R (and what the cycle will be)? Will missions still be able to send in their recommendation?
Is there a difference if I was cleared by a Central Review Body (CRB) or a Field Central Review Body (FCRB)?
No. There is no difference if you were rostered by either the CRB or FCRB
What if I have a temporary appointment in between two fixed-term appointments, would the period on temporary appointment be treated as continuous?
The period of service on a temporary appointment would constitute a break in the continuity of service under a fixed-term appointment, therefore your overall period of service would not be considered continuous. The period of service under a temporary appointment would not count towards the five-years of qualifying service. And the count of qualifying years of service would start counting from the date of your second fixed-term appointment, posterior to the period on temporary appointment.
