Article 26 Follow up actions on reports

A good report shall justify advancement to a higher step. Such promotion shall be effective at the date of the anniversary of the contract staff member's contract or second such anniversary for contract staff members with indefinite term contracts.

An exceptionally good report may justify exceptional promotion to a higher step or even grade, provided that the budgeted post allows such promotion. Such promotions shall be effective as from 1 January of the year following the report or second such year for contract staff members with indefinite term contracts.

An adverse report may justify keeping the contract staff member at his or her present step for an additional year.

Two successive adverse reports may justify non-extension or termination of contracts.
