A supplement for mobility shall be granted to contract staff members who settle their actual and habitual residence in a different duty station more than 100 km away as a result of their transfer for at least one year. This supplement shall be 75 % of the basic amount.
5. Payment of the allowance
(a) The allowance shall be payable when the eligible contract staff member takes up duty or is transferred to a different duty station.

(e) The contract staff member shall not be required to pay the allowance back to the Institute if the contract staff member is subsequently reappointed by the Institute after the termination of his or her previous appointment.
