Don't miss the deadline!
You can lodge from www.recours2014.eu a series of art. 90 complaints against the most controversial provisions contained in the new Staff Regulations.

We wish to remind you that today 31 March it is the last day to lodge the following art. 90 complaints:

·        Conversion of AST to AST/SC posts (template available in EN)

·        Travel Days and Expenses (templates available in FR)

·        AST and AD Career Blockage (templates available in EN and FR)

We would also like to remind that an art. 90 complaint against the reintroduction of the 6% Solidarity Levy is available here. Deadline: 10 April.

According to art. 90, "Any person to whom the Staff Regulations apply may submit to the appointing authority a complaint against an act affecting him adversely, either where the said authority has taken a decision or where it has failed to adopt a measure prescribed by the Staff Regulations. (...)"

Therefore lodging a complaint is a statutory right, which cannot affect your career or your personal working condition.

Our R&D experts are available to answer all your questions and doubts, and to help you introducing your complaint.

Buildings 100 and 101

20/03/2014
With the move into the new buildings 100 and 101, many colleagues are experiencing a changing office environment. While recognising that change is necessary and inevitably causes some inconvenience, we are increasingly receiving feedback indicating various shortcomings in terms of health and safety. Unfortunately, several colleagues have found that their comments are being stonewalled, and complaints are being returned to sender without apparent follow up.
We wish to comprehend fully all valid concerns and want to be in a position to present them to the responsible services in an orderly manner.  We believe that only a coordinated approach will result in:
a) concrete problems being acknowledged 
b) appropriate steps being taken to improve the situation.
We therefore are proposing that you send your remarks directly to us or talk to our contact person in building 100 (Bernd Gawlik - tel. 9487) and 101 (Clemens Wittwehr – tel. 3898)
If you have some any comment related to Building 101 and 201 please write an email to jrc-rd-ispra@ec.europa.eu.

We will collect and analyse your input and decide on the appropriate measures to take.

 UPDATE: We have provided your input to the CHST (Health & Safety Joint Commitee), which is formally in charge of following the problems of building 100 & 101.

 11th April - UPDATE 2: At this link (on Yammer) you can find an update from Mr Fiore, vice-president of the CHST Committe.

 4th June - UPDATE 3: At this link (on Yammer) you can find a new update.

Latest news on salary adjustment 2011 and 2012

11/03/2014 , ,
Today the European Parliament has adopted the two reports on salary adjustments for 2011 and 2012.  If the Council approves the proposal, the situation for Ispra should be the following:
Salary 2012: 0,8% x 22 months = 17,6% of our payslip
Correction Coefficient 2012: 1,2% x 12 months = 14,4% of our payslip
For 2011, it is not clear yet if the Correction Coefficient will be applied as well, or if it will be a "frozen" year like 2013 and 2014.
In case the 2011 Correction Coefficient will be applied, we'll suffer a reduction of 0,4% x 12 months = -4,8%
So, in the best case scenario, we can expect 17,6% + 14,4% = 32% of our payslip ("one shot" arrears).
In the worst case scenario, we can expect 27,2% of our payslip (again, "one shot" arrears).
In all cases, we'll receive 0,8% salary increase for the future.
