Article 12 Extra duties allowance

A staff member may be called upon to occupy temporarily a post in a grade which is higher than his current grade. From the beginning of the second month of such temporary posting, he shall receive a differential allowance equal to the difference between the remuneration carried by his current grade and step, and the remuneration he would receive in respect of the step at which he would be classified if he were appointed to the grade of his temporary posting.

The duration of a temporary posting shall not exceed one year, except where, directly or indirectly, the posting is to replace a staff member who is seconded to another post, called up for military service or absent on prolonged sick leave.

An allowance for additional responsibility may be attached to certain posts on a case-by-case basis by the Director if the staff member has to assume responsibility for managing a team in which one or more staff members are of the same grade as his own. The maximum amount of such allowance shall be set by the Director at the beginning of each calendar year.
