Office International d ^ g i é n e Publique
The Health Assembly directed the Board to maintain the present liaison
with OIHP iwith a view eventually to the transfer of the assets and
liabilities of OIHP to WHO on the termination of the Rome Agreement of
1907 (A/63)»
Accordingly^ at its sixth meeting，the Board requested
the Director-General to report progrce-5 on the matter at the next session
(EB/\íin*6 page 12) •
Exceypt from ЕВДИпфО pageti 8肩9 ：
"Dr# EVANG said he interpreted paragraph 2 as implying that fuil
integration had not yet been accomplished and thát in fact no regional
office in the full sense of the term yet existed• ‘ Paragraph 4, on the other
hand, implied that a regiona,l organization existed^
He thought it
deairable, therefore, for the two paragraphs to be brought into conformity
by the insertion of the words "subject to the provisions of paragraph 2" after
"assume" in line 2 of paragraph 4*
With regard to the question of finance,
it seemed obvious that WHO could not'finance operations in countries which
viqtq not members of the organization^
!t
Dr# van Zile HIDE, in connexion with Dr，Evang1 s final remark, thought
that as a matter of principle WHO would not wish to liïhit assistance to any
country^ whether or not a meiriber, if an emergency aros®*
He pointed out
that the Interim Commission had in the past provided assistance to nonHiienber
countries and cited as an example the aid given to the Lebanon for the
procurement of supplies of vaccine during the recent outbreak of cholera
in Egypt*
"Dr* MANI considered that there was no financial implications in the two *
paragraphs and hoped that the text as drafted of paragraph 4 would be accepted%
"Dr» van Zile HIDE suggested that the Negotiating Committee should
consider thê substitution of the word "be" for "serve" in line 2 of
paragraph 2è

It was decided to accept paragraph 4 as drafted and to draw the
attention Of the Negotiating Committee to the views expressed in the

REPORT OF ITORKING PARTY ON STAFF RULES*
The working party met on 23 July at 2.30 p.m. and at
10 p.m. ； 24 July at 11c30 a.m., and 25 July at 10 a.m. It
consisted of :
Drç REDSHAW (Chairman)
Dr. HASSEIN HAFEZI
Dr. BORENSZTAJN
I.
GENERAL
1, The working party examined the Staff Rules in detail^ but
in view of the short time available and the alterations which
may be suggested by experience and operation^ the working party
recommends that these rules be accepted provisionally, subject
to detailed re-examination by the Executive Board at its next
session*
Changes recommended by the working party^ together
with minor editorial alterations and corrections^ have been
incorporated into a second edition of the Staff Rules to
facilitate consideration by the Executive Board:
2。 The working party wishes to report that the Staff Rules
are in conformity with the Constitution and the Staff
Regulations.
The Staff Rules also conform generally to the
personnel practices of UN and other specialized agencies, with
some exceptions which will be noted below.
3. The working party recommends changes in substance in certain
of the Rules as presented in the first edition•
These changes
are reported in a section belowe
Minor editorial changes
are not listed.
In some cases, the working party did not
reconmiend a change，but noted that the attention of the Executive
Board should be called to the need for careful consideration of
these Rules о It was also agreed that sections 1200 and 1300
on travel and removal should be limited to rules on entitlement
and that the detailed rules should be separate from t he Staff
Rules。 These are attached to the second edition of the Staff
Rules •
*
Text previously circulated as document EB/20
4。 In accordance with Staff Regulation 16, the working party
examined in detail all deviations from UN practices in respect
of salaries and allowances•
These deviations are reported in
a separate section of this report•
II. CHANGES IN STAFF RULES
Changes which have been recommended by the working party
and incorporated in the second edition are summarized as
follows：
Rule 122 - Medical examination to be performed whenever
possible and prior to appointment»
Rule 150 一 includes payment for dependent brothers and sisters
for travel on appointment0
Rule 213 - eliminates reference to t^e twelve months limitation
on increases for meritorious service.
Rule 215i2 - New paragraph (which had been left out in error)
providingfor retention of salary.
Rule 216Д 一 Change 30 days to 6o days on reinstatement without
loss of seniority.
'
Rule 550 - Insert a section to indicate the status of the Tribunal
provided in Staff Regulation 28.
Rule 610 雄 Add a proviso on year by year extension of retirement
age to conform with Regulation 20.
Rule 634 - Add a rule to define seniority as length of service
and provide the possibility of giving credit for service with
UN or specialized agencies, on a reciprocal basis.
Rule 681 - Include payment for dependent brothers and sisters
for repatriation travel.
Rule 710 - Include after grade 19 a provision for top-ranking
Director, ф11>000 (without steps) to conform with UN salary
schedulo.
Rule 821.2 - Change limitation on payment of installation allowance
for dependents joining a staff member to two years (from one year)
to conform with the first period of home leave•
Rule 8.22 - See Rule 880.
Rule 840 - Expatriation allowance : The working party noted that
staff recruited from nearby areas, particularly т/vhere they speak
the same language as that in use in the local area of their
official station^ would not appear to have the same need as others
for expatriation allowances « The working party suggests the
possibility of establishing an area within a reasonable radius
(say 100 kilometres) from which staff members would not be eligible
for expatriation allowance.
Rule 860 - Educational Grant: The working party has no
recommendations concerning the educational grant, but wishes
to draw tho attention of the Executive Board to its existence•
Rule 670 • Cost of living adjustment: Re-edited to ensure that
both plus and minus adjustments in cost of living differences
will be applied^
Rule 880 - Altered to%provide that staff members receiving
représentation allowance shall also be eligible to receive
allowances under 800#
Appropriate alterations were made in
other rules.
The implications of this change are discusscd
in I I I 8,
Rule 936 • Added rule to provide that, in case of death of a
stafjf пютЬег, advance annual leave need not be refunded.
Rule 940 - Home leave : The working party wishes to draw the
attention of the Executive Board to the existence of this rule,
especially the provision for two weeks home leave in addition to
annual leave•
Rule 952>3 - makes provision for the recovery of sick leave
granted in advance of entitlement in case of resignation.
Rule 1110 - adds a provision that, ia fixing the condensation for
duty-connected injury or illness, account will be taken of
benefits payable under the Pension Plan,
III.
DEVIATIONS FROM SCALE OF SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES OF UN
In accordance with Staff Regulation 16, any deviations f¡rom
the UN scale of salaries and allôwances which may be necessary
for the requiremeilts of the WHO shall be subject to the approval
of or may be .authorized by the Executive Board•
The deviations which are recommended by the working party are
listed as follows :
1 4 Rule 127.3 Effective date of appointment
This rule provides that the effective date for appointment,
l t e 9 the date on which salary begins, shall be the date the staff
member reports for duty.
This rule is more limiting than the
UN rule, which provides for commencing salary on the day the staff
meniber leaves his normal place of residence to commence his
journey to report at his official station.
The working party felt that, with modern facilities of
transport, the period of voyage to report for duty would be•short
and would not represent an undue hardship on a staff momber^
The administrative advantages in simplifying payroll calculations
justices this rule-
2春 Rule 150 Travel and removal expenses upon appointment
(
w
(«
681 Entitlement to repatriation)
942 Entitlement to hon^ leave)
These rules as revised deviate from UN practice by including
payment of travel for dependent minor brothers and sisters,
using the age limit definition as provided in the rule covering
children^ allowance•
The wDrking party felt that where a
staff member has the responsibility for minor brothers and sisters
vho live with him, the staff member should be eligible to treat
them as dependents in respect of travel expenses upon appointment,
home leave and•repatriation on termination •
UN does not have
this provision.
3« Rule 203 Effective Date：
The DN rules provide for making changes in status effective
as of the date approved.
The Staff Rules provide for changes
effective from the beginning of the pay period nearest the date
of approval.
The working party felt that administrative
advantages justify this rule and that in the average it does not
penalize staff members•
4. Rule 213
Within-grade promotion for meritorious service
The Staff Rules of UN do not clearly include a provision of
this kind, although it may oxist in practice •
In any case, the .
working party felt that this rule, when applied judiciously,
would serve as an incentive to the staff and represent very little
financial outlay.
Rule 710 Salaries
The working party noted that the application of the UN salary
schedule to staff members at WHO headquarters, Geneva, without
a jninus % differential represents a deviation from UN salary
scales, since such differential is applied by UN to its regional
staff iri Geneva #
•
The working party considered this subject at some length•
It recommends that the salary schedule be applied as presented
in the Staff Rules and that the minus % differential should
not be put into effect, pending re-examintion of the question
after ccnçletion of the UN cost of living survey •
In arriving
at this conclusion, the working party considered the following
points :
(a) The UN differential of minus % is provisional in
character.
It was established in 1946- pending
a scientific cost of living survey which has not
yet taken place •
No adjustments have been made
for the Geneva staff of UN since that date.
However, successive cost of living adjustments
have been made for the New York staff of UN.
These adjustments now average an increase cf
The result is that salaries are 20多 higher in New
York than in Geneva for UN staff.
(b) The minus % differential was not based on a cost
of living survey, but was established on the
basis of the opinion of “conpetent observersn#
Information that the UN will begin its first
scientific survey very shortly is contained in a
letter from UN dated 20 July： 1943•
(c) There is evidence to indicate that the survey,
when made, may not show a minus differential
and may oven show a plus differential for Geneva,
Indications of this are as follows s
(i) The ILO calculations in 1946 established
the cost of living indexes as follows\
New York
Montreal
Geneva
100%
9甥
107^
Note： However, the ILO does not pay any
adjustment for differentials under 10%.
4 - .
(ii) The US Government has recently increased
its travel subsistence per diem in Geneva
from
to $10, TAfliereas its allowance in the
United States remains at $6.
(iii) The Transworld Airlines applies a cost
of living differential to its various stations,
using the Department of State-Foreign Service
of the US-Retail Price Schedules #
This
differential is now plus $115 per month for
Geneva.
(d) The working party believes that in view of the fact that
the scientific survey will be made in the near future,
no temporary differential should bo established»
6« Rule 621«2
Installation allowance
This rule providés a limitation of two years, after n^iich
time dependents who arrive are not eligible for installation
allowance•
Tho UN has no such time limitation.
The working
party felt that this provision should be retained.
7» Rule 870 Cost of living adjustment
This rule deviates from UN practice by establishing the
principle of a cost of living adjustment in respect of differences
between Headquarters and other offices, rather than the principle
of percentage salary differentials used by UN»
It is not dear
to what extent this is a departure from UN, because UN has
supplemented their salary differential system by ad hoc arrangements
for living allowances for some field offices•
The working party recommends the cost of living adjustment
as being more equitable to the personnel and administratively
more practicable than percentage salary differentials •
In
arriving at this conclusion, consideration was given to the
following points}
(a)
Д staff member with the salary of 恭9,000， receiving
a differential for cost of living in a field office,
should not be subject to three times as much plus
or minus differential as a staff member receiving
§3,000 salary；
.
(b)
Tho WHO will be operating in numerous areas
including some where UN does not and where conditions
may fluctuate quite rapidly•
A cost of living
adjustment is simpler and more flexible than a
percentage salary differential；
(c)
The UN system of salary differentials has been
altered on an ad hoc basis and would be extremely
difficult to follow, an example of which is quoted
from a WHO Field Office as follows：
«I hope we can avoid gome of tho tangles which
have occurred in our group of international
organizations here." • • • • • • "Mazes have been
entered for the Ш Secretariat staff which has
recently evolved in this offer to the Social
Affairs Officer :
!l
$500 expatriation allowance, plus $10 dailyliving allowance, equivalent in local currency
(less contribution of Government in food, lodgings
and i n c i d e n t a l s a n d , to offset the daily living
allowance, a deduction to be made in home salary
of $1,100 annually•“
‘
(d)
Percentage salary differentials should be avoided,
if possible, in ordor not to coirÇ)licate salary
calculations with respect to Provident Fund,
Pension Records, Leave Records and the transfer of
staff members between areas,
•
(e)
It may be noted that the provision for ignoring
adjustments under 10窝 follows ILO practice.參
3 # Rule 880 Representation allowances
The working party expressed dissatisfaction with this rule,
as it appeared in the first edition, and agreed to rècoimend
that staff members eligible for representation allowances should
not be denied the normal allowances to which other staff members
are eligible •
The working party in arriving at this conclusion
considered the following points :‘
(a) Staff members receiving representation allowances are
expected to use them for representation on behalf of
the Organization.
It would appear unfair to expect
such staff members to expend these sums on representation and at the same time forego normal allowances
of other staff members«
•
’
SB 2/1 Ann,8
page 7
(b)
There should be no connection between these two
types of allowances.
The normal allowances
should be given to all staff members and
representation allowances should be calculated
purely on the basis of representation•
Note： As an oxanple a staff member eligible
for representation allowances (assuming a wife
and two children of school age who attend
school in their home country) would lose
approximately $2,120 in normal allowances for
the first year, $1>755 for the second year,
and $1^255 for succeeding years.
9• Rulo 9бО
Maternity leave
It was noted that the staff rules^ following tho policy
established by the Interim Gonimission, provide eligibility
for maternity leave after the staff member shall have been in
service 10 months or more #
This is more liberal than the
UN rule, which requires service of two years for temporary staff
members and one year for staff members with indefinite contracts
prior to eligibility for maternity leave.
The working party
recommends retaining the 10 months provision.
10» Rule 970 Conpensatory leave
This rule deviates from UN practices in that it provides
conpensatory leave rather than payment of overtime during
service •
The working party recommends retention of this rule.
11. Rule 1120 Grant to family of a deceased staff member
This rule, based on ILO practice, makes provision for grant
of one month salary to the widow or other dspendants in case of
death of staff member.
UN has no such provision.
This rule
is recommended for retention pending establishment of the Pension
Plan, at which time it should be reconsidered»
