3 I. INTRODUCTION A consolid schedule of post adjustment classifications and threshold figures used for calculating rental subsidies (or deductions) is attached. Names of countries and areas, which appear in English alphabetical order, are indexed in French in the list attached to the schedule. In cases where only one post adjustment classification is shown for a country, normally for the capital city, that classification will be applicable for all duty stations within the country. This schedule is effective 1 January 2015, unless otherwise indicated, and supersedes any schedule previously published. It is available on the ICSC home page On trouvera ci-joint un barème mis à jour du classement des lieux d'affectation aux fins d'ajustements des indemnités de poste et des seuils aux fins du calcul des allocations (ou déductions) de logement. Les noms des pays et localités figurent par ordre alphabétique anglais. On trouvera à l'index annexé au barème les noms en français. Dans les cas où une seule classe est indiquée pour le pays, en général pour la ville capitale, cette classe s'applique à tous les lieux d'affectation dans le pays. Sauf indication contraire, le barème ci-joint entre en vigueur le 1er janvier 2015 et remplace tous les barèmes déjà parus. Il est disponible sur le site internet de la CFPI: 3

6 IV. Consolidation of post adjustment into base salary 1 1. The General Assembly by resolution A/RES/69/251 approved a revised base/floor salary scale for staff in the Professional and higher categories effective 1 January The revised scale has been implemented in conjunction with a consolidation of 1.01 per cent of post adjustment into net base salary on a no gain/no loss basis. This means that the net base salary is increased by 1.01 per cent and post adjustment indices and multipliers at all duty stations are reduced by the same rate, effective the same. Multipliers before and after consolidation of 1.01 per cent of post adjustment into net base salary are provided in Annex I. V. Review of post adjustment classification for Group I duty stations 2. In view of the Commission s decision, at its seventy-ninth session, as noted by the UN General Assembly in resolution A/RES/69/251, the review the post adjustment classifications of all headquarters and other group I duty stations will take place once a year, on the anniversary of the post adjustment classification review for New York, which, for this year, will be 1 February VI. Gap Closure Measure 3. The Commission, at the request of the General Assembly, established procedures to be applied in situations where the implementation of a place-to-place survey results in a significantly lower post adjustment index (PAI) than the existing pay index. Details of these procedures are contained in the Commission s report of the work of its thirty-fifth session ICSC/35/R.17, para. 61 (d) and in the post adjustment circulars ICSC/CIRC/PAC/208 and ICSC/CIRC/PAC/281 of 6 April 1992 and 4 May 1998, respectively. 4. In accordance with the above-mentioned procedures, if the difference between the existing pay index and PAI resulting from a place-to-place survey is more than 5 per cent, a revised multiplier corresponding to the survey PAI plus 5 per cent is implemented. 5. The post adjustment of all staff members is determined on the basis of the revised multiplier; but for staff members already at the duty station on the effective of implementation, in this case, 1 January 2015, a Personal Transitional Allowance (PTA) representing the difference between the existing multiplier and the revised multiplier is calculated. This PTA is reduced at the rate of 5 per cent every three months until it is phased out. 6. The table below gives details of the PAIs, multipliers and PTA effective 1 January 2015 for Togo. 1 See Annex II for the description of consolidation 6

Completion of Gap Closure Measure 7. The personal transition allowance (PTA) is eliminated as of 1 January 2015 for Morocco. This completes the implementation of gap closure measures to reflect the results of the most recent place-to-place survey conducted in Morocco in May 2014 (ICSC/CIRC/PAC 478 of 15 October 2014). VIII. W40 Measure 8. A waiver of 40 per cent of rent limit on rental subsidies was approved for Botswana effective 1 January IX. Cost-of-living surveys 9. The results of cost-of-living surveys for duty stations listed below are included in the attached Consolid Post Adjustment Circular. 7

21 ANNEX II ADJUSTMENT OF THE BASE/FLOOR SALARY SCALE FOR STAFF IN THE PROFESSIONAL AND HIGHER CATEGORIES (EFFECTIVE 1 JANUARY 2015) 1. Pursuant to the General Assembly resolution A/RES/69/251, the base/floor salary scale effective 1 January 2015 for staff in the Professional and higher categories is increased by 1.01 per cent at all grades and steps. This revised base/floor scale reflects a consolidation of 1.01 per cent of post adjustment into net base salary and has been implemented effective 1 January In accordance with the established practice, the consolidation of 1.01 per cent has been implemented on a no loss, no gain basis. Consequently, the base/floor has been increased by 1.01 per cent and the post adjustment indices and multipliers applicable at all duty stations have been reduced by the same percentage. 3. The base/floor salary scale is also used to calculate some of the end-of-service benefits (repatriation grant, termination indemnity and death grant, as applicable). As of 1 January 2015 these benefits will be subject to an increase, as a result of the increase in the base/floor salary scale.
