Latest news about annual salary adaptation

We are glad to inform you that the hearing before the Court for the case Commission vs. Council on the 2011 salary adaptation will take place on July 2.
The sentence will most probably be given after the summer. Note that the hearing of 2 July concerns only 1 out of the 3 actions (2 lodged by the Commission and 1 by the Council) currently pending for the 2011 salary adaptation.
In case the Commission wins (the 3 actions), it means that all staff will be entitled to a salary increase of 1,7% , less 0,4% for Ispra-based staff due to a slight decrease of our Varese 2011 correction coefficient.  The net 1,3% increase would normally apply retroactively as from July 1, 2011, but we don't know if any interest could also be added.
Similar cases are still pending for the 2012 salary adaptation (+1,7% and +1,5% correction coefficient) and the reduction in pension contribution (2011: -0,3% and 2012: -1%). R&D will keep you informed of future developments.
