I. INTRODUCTION

A consolidated schedule of post adjustment classifications and threshold figures used for

calculating rental subsidies (or deductions) is attached. Names of countries and areas, which appear in English alphabetical order, are indexed in French in the list attached to the schedule. In cases where only one post adjustment classification is shown for a country, normally for the capital city, that classification will be applicable for all duty stations within the country. This schedule is effective 1 January 2014, unless otherwise indicated, and supersedes any schedule previously published. It is available on the ICSC home page http://icsc.un.org On trouvera ci-joint un barème mis à jour du classement des lieux d'affectation aux fins d'ajustements des indemnités de poste et des seuils aux fins du calcul des allocations (ou déductions) de logement. Les noms des pays et localités figurent par ordre alphabétique anglais. On trouvera à l'index annexé au barème les noms en français. Dans les cas où une seule classe est indiquée pour le pays, en général pour la ville capitale, cette classe s'applique à tous les lieux d'affectation dans le pays. Sauf indication contraire, le barème ci-joint entre en vigueur le 1er janvier 2014 et remplace tous les barèmes déjà parus. Il est disponible sur le site internet de la CFPI: http://icsc.un.org

IV. Consolidation of post adjustment into base salary 1 1. The General Assembly by resolution A/RES/68/253 approved a revised base/floor salary scale for staff in the Professional and higher categories effective 1 January 2014. The revised scale has been implemented in conjunction with a consolidation of 0.19 per cent of post adjustment, thereby requiring consequential adjustments in the post adjustment indices and multipliers at all duty stations effective the same date. Multipliers before and after consolidation of 0.19 per cent of post adjustment into net base salary are provided in Annex I. V. Review of post adjustment classification for Group I duty stations 2. Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Netherlands were due for a post adjustment classification review as of 1 January 2014. However, in view of the discussions in the Fifth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly regarding the level of the US/UN net remuneration margin, the post adjustment of New York, the base of the post adjustment system, and the synchronization of the PAC reviews of all group I duty stations, the review of the above mentioned duty stations has been postponed to February 2014, the anniversary date for the post adjustment classification review of New York. VI. Gap Closure Measure 3. The Commission, at the request of the General Assembly, established procedures to be applied in situations where the implementation of a place-to-place survey results in a significant difference between the post adjustment index (PAI) and the existing pay index. Details of these procedures are contained in the Commission’s report of the work of its thirty-fifth session ICSC/35/R.17, para. 61 (d) and in the post adjustment circulars ICSC/CIRC/PAC/208 and ICSC/CIRC/PAC/281 of 6 April 1992 and 4 May 1998, respectively. 4. In accordance with the above-mentioned procedures, if the difference between the existing pay index and PAI resulting from a place-to-place survey is more than 5 per cent, a revised multiplier corresponding to the survey PAI plus 5 per cent is promulgated by the Chairman of the ICSC. 5. The post adjustment of all staff members is determined on the basis of the revised multiplier; but for staff members already at the duty station on the effective date of implementation, in this case, 1 January 2014, a Personal Transitional Allowance (PTA) representing the difference between the existing multiplier and the revised multiplier is calculated. This PTA is reduced at the rate of 5 per cent every three months until it is phased out. The table below gives details of the PAIs, multipliers and PTAs effective 1 January 2014 for Djibouti. 1 See Annex II for the description of consolidation

ANNEX II

ADJUSTMENT OF THE BASE/FLOOR SALARY SCALE FOR PROFE SSIONAL AND HIGHER CATEGORIES OF STAFF

(EFFECTIVE 1 JANUARY 2014)

1. Pursuant to the General Assembly resolution A/RES/68/253, the base/floor salary scale effective 1 January 2014 for the Professional and higher categories of staff is adjusted upward by 0.19 per cent at all grades and steps. This revised base/floor scale is due to a consolidation of 0.19 per cent of post adjustment and has been implemented effective 1 January 2014. 2. In accordance with the established practice, the consolidation of 0.19 per cent has been implemented on a “no loss, no gain” basis. Consequently, the base/floor has been increased by 0.19 per cent and the post adjustment multiplier applicable at all duty stations has been scaled down by the same percentage. 3. The base/floor salary scale is also used to calculate some of the end-of-service benefits (repatriation grant, termination indemnity and death grant, as applicable). As of 1 January 2014 these benefits will be subject to an upward revision, as a result of the adjustment in the base/floor salary scale.
