Article 5

An installation allowance equal to two months' basic salary in the case of a staff member who is entitled to the household allowance, and equal to one month's basic salary in other cases, shall be paid to an established staff member who furnishes evidence that a change in the place of residence was required in order to satisfy the requirements of Article 23.

In cases where spouses who are both staff members are both entitled to the installation allowance, this shall be payable only to the person whose basic salary is the higher.

The installation allowance shall be weighted at the rate fixed for the place where the staff member is employed.

An installation allowance of the same amount shall be paid to any staff member who is transferred to a new place of employment and is thereby obliged to change his place of residence in order to comply with Article 23.

The installation allowance shall be calculated by reference to the staff member's marital status and salary either on the effective date of his establishment or on the date of his transfer to a new place of employment.

The installation allowance shall be paid on production of documents establishing the fact that the staff member, together with his family if he is entitled to the household allowance, has settled at the place where he is employed.

A staff member who is entitled to the household allowance and does not settle with his family at the place where he is employed shall receive only half the allowance to which he would otherwise be entitled; the second half shall be paid when his family settles at the place where he is employed, provided that it does so within the periods laid down in Article 9(3). Where the staff member is transferred to the place where his family resides before his family has settled at the place where he is employed, he shall not thereby be entitled to an installation advance.

An established staff member who has received an installation allowance and who voluntarily leaves the service of the Agency within two years from the date of entering it shall, on leaving the service, refund part of the allowance, in proportion to the unexpired portion of that two-year period.

A staff member in receipt of installation allowance shall declare any allowance of like nature which he receives from other sources; such latter allowances shall be deducted from the allowance provided for in this Article.
