  "text": "1. The remuneration paid to staff members of the SATCEN shall include basic salary, an expatriation allowance, and family and social allowances.\nContributions and deductions shall be made from those emoluments in respect of internal tax, pension and social welfare schemes.\n2. Staff members' current accounts shall be credited with the amount due not later than the last working week of the month.\n3. Staff members are required to inform the SATCEN without delay about any change of their personal circumstances, which may have financial consequences. Those changes shall be taken into account for the remuneration of the month following the notification of the changes to the SATCEN's Administration; changes shall not be made to remuneration already paid.\n4. Claims against the SATCEN for payment of salary, indemnities, allowances, benefits or other sums resulting from the application of these Staff Regulations, shall lapse two years after the date on which the payment would have been due.\nHowever, requests for allowances provided for in these Staff Regulations shall give rise to a retroactive payment of the corresponding sums backdated to no more than three months from the date the SATCEN received written notification of the facts determining entitlement to these payments, supported by appropriate documentation.\n5. A request for payment in respect of a claim against the SATCEN submitted after the expiry of the limitation periods set out in paragraph 4 may be taken into consideration if the delay is due to exceptional circumstances.\nThe limitation shall be interrupted by a claim in writing submitted before the expiry of the period of limitation.\n6. The right of the SATCEN to recover any payment made unduly shall lapse two years following the date on which the SATCEN becomes aware that the payment was undue.\nThere shall be no limitation if the information provided was inaccurate as a result of a lack of good faith or gross negligence.\n7. If there are outstanding claims for undue payments against the employee, recovery shall be made by deductions from the monthly or other payments due to the person concerned, taking into account his social and financial situation.",
